the effect of shoot pruning (2, 3 and 4 branches per plant) and fruit position selection (on main branch vs on main and lateral branches) on yield and qualitative characteristics of two greenhouse grown pepper (capsicum annuum l.) cultivars (torkal and paramo) was studied through a factorial experiment arranged in a completely randomized block design, of three replications. results indicated th...

in order to evaluate the effect of harvest time on fruit weight, oil content and fruit bearing in the next year in some cultivars of olive (conservalea, amygdalolia, karidolia, koroneiki, arbequina, zard and rouwghani), an experiment was performed as a split plot in time based on crd (completely randomized design) with three replications at olive research station (tarrom–zanjan) during 2013 and...

in order to study the effects of ga3and cacl2 treatments in resolve the problems of sweet pepper culture in ilam region (including small size fruits with sunscald and blossom end rot disorders), this study was carried out in ilam university in 2012. for that, ga3 (50 mg/l) and cacl2 (0.5%) treatments were sprayed at two (fruit set and 15 days thereafter) and three (fruit set, 10 and 20 days the...

Bell peppers grown in greenhouses in the Mediterranean region are frequently subjected to high temperatures in summer and low temperatures in winter. The present experiment was designed to quantify the effect of season on pepper fruit growth, maturation and ripening. Three bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) cultivars (Yolo Wonder, California Wonder and E84066) were cultivated in an unheated ...

to conserve the genetic resources and identify the strong and weak points in sistan watermelon accessions and compare these with improved cultivars of: sugarbaby and fairfax, an experiment was carried out, based on rectangular lattic design of two replications in 2007. the morphological traits studied, included plant length, plant weight, seed weight, fruit number, fruit length, fruit width, su...

field experiment was conducted to determine the economic threshold for spraying of flubendiamide against the brinjal shoot and fruit borer. flubendiamide was applied based on 10 thresholds including 2% shoot infestation, 5% shoot infestation, first fruit set + 2% fruit infestation, first fruit set + 5% fruit infestation, 2% fruit infestation, 5% fruit infestation, 2% shoot + 2% fruit infestatio...
