fruit productivity and quality of eight years peach and nectarine cultivars (rich lady, ryan sun, ruby diamond and venus) grafted onto cadaman-avimag, viking, atlas, gxn 15, gf 677, mrs 2/5 and nemaguard (control) rootstocks were evaluated. a split plot experimental design was used, with each rootstock/scion combination as an experimental unit. total yield, fruit size distribution, number of fr...

to investigate the genotypic and phenotypic relationship between characteristics affecting tomato fruit weights, eleven tomato lines were compared in a rcb design with three replications. the anova showed that the difference among lines was significant for all characteristics. there was a significant phenotypic and genotypic correlations between fruit weight and most of the characteristics. the...

The physiological basis for host antibiosis or nonpreference to a quarantine pest is often not understood. Studies are needed on the mechanisms that impart resistance to better understand how resistance might fail. Experiments were conducted to examine the infestability of 'Sharwil' avocados by oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), and Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wi...

Few attempts have been made to understand how spatiotemporal changes in fruit supply influence frugivores in tropical forests. The marked spatiotemporal variation in fruit supply can affect frugivore abundance and distribution, but studies addressing the effects of this variation on primates are scarce. The present study aimed to investigate how the spatiotemporal distribution of fruits influen...
