in the current research, salicylic acid and putrescine treatments solutions each with 0, 0.5, 1, and 2 mm/l levels were sprayed on the ‘granny smith’ apple trees in three preharvest stages. the treatments were applied based on factorial experiment in the randomized complete block design. weight loss, fruit firmness, total soluble solids (tss), titratable acidity (ta), ph, tss/ta, peel color, an...

Background & aim: The fruit of Citrullus colocynthis has a bitter taste and antibacterial properties against pathogen factors.The aim of current research was to study the effects of different dietary level of bitter cucumber fruit powderwith and without protexin probiotic supplementation on growth performance, carcass traits and intestinal morphology of broiler chicks....

Different bio-pesticides were evaluated against eggplant shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis G. in combination. All combination of effective borer but Lycomax + Biotin M Antario Fytomax 3% found most potent control 88.43 84.06 percent infestation; 69.67 66.44 infestation by count; 72.70 70.49 weight, respectively. 0.1% Biomax increased 32.90 28.66 gross yield; 120.19 87.5 marketable yie...

objective: this field experiment was laid out in order to study on effect of nano and bio fertilizers on yield and yield components of tomato (lycopersicone sculentum l.) during the growing seasons 2013- 2014. methods: the experiment was laid out in a factorial based on randomized block design with three replications. treatments were k nanofertilizer in five levels such as (0, 100, 200, 300 and...

In Estonia, the sea buckthorn is a non-traditional fruit crop. From 2001 to 2003, at the Rõhu Testing Center of the Estonian Agricultural Research Center in Southern Estonia, six sea buckthorn cultivars were evaluated in terms of their yield and average fruit weight: ‘Trofimovskaya’, ‘Vorobyevskaya’, ‘Avgustinka’, ‘Otradnaya’, ‘Botanicheskaya Ljubitelskaya’, and ‘Botanicheskaya’. Chemical compo...

in this study the effects of plant growth regulators including; ga3 (0 and 50 mg/l) and ethephon (0 and 500 mg/l) were studied on the quality properties of two grape cultivars (perlette and yaghuti). at the harvest time, some physicochemical characteristics such as fruit cluster weight, fruit diameter, length, volume and l/d ratio, flesh firmness, fresh weight, ta, ph, tss and fruit color were ...

the present experiment was carried out to assess the general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) of six important commercial cultivars of gossypium hirsutum l. of venezuela, viz., ‘deltapine 16’, ‘tamcot-sp-21’, ‘cabuyare’, ‘stoneville’, ‘ospino’ and ‘acala 90-1’ and their 15 f1 hybrids, respectively. the data were analyzed using griffing’s model i method ii. significan...

Peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch.) is produced in most areas of Iran, where flowering is hindered by temperature. Using plant growth regulators to delay bloom is a suggestive measure to avoid frost damage. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of methyl jasmonate (MJ) and salicylic acid (SA) on peach bloom delay and yield.  This study evaluated the applications of MJ 0 (contro...
