The soft rot Enterobacteriaceae (SRE) Pectobacterium and Dickeya species (formerly classified as pectinolytic Erwinia spp.) cause important diseases on potato and other arable and horticultural crops. They may affect the growing potato plant causing blackleg and are responsible for tuber soft rot in storage thereby reducing yield and quality. Efficient and cost-effective detection and identific...

Pistachio is one of the most important horticultural crops in Iran.  There is a unique role for amino acids in the plant response to stressful conditions, and special physiological role for Arginine (Arg) compared to other amino acids.  The effects of this compound were investigated on vegetative and reproductive characters of bearing pistachio trees of ‘Ahmad-Aghaei’. The experiments were done...

The experiment on “Performance of dahlia (Dahlia variabilis L.) genotypes for floral and yield attributes” was carried out at the Department Floriculture Landscape Architecture, College Horticulture, Sirsi, University Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot, Karnataka with a view to find best characters. Among 35 HUBD-26 recorded minimum days flowering (31.40 days), maximum flower per plant (559.03 g)...

The Chinese hawthorn (Crataegus pinnatifida Bge. var. major N.E.Br.) is uniquely originated in northern China. The ecological and horticultural importance of Chinese hawthorn is considerable and some varieties are valued for their fruit or medicine extracts. Its taxonomy and phylogeny remain poorly understood. Apart from general plant morphological traits, pollen is an important trait for the c...

Northeast India is rich in genetic diversity of horticultural crops and colocasia one the important crops. This region for both cultivated wild species particularly jhum fields, homestead gardens, near water bodies, river banks, forests road sides. Wide range variability observed vegetative characters, corm cormel yield quality characters.  It field as a mixed crop along with paddy other l...

A study was carried out at the Department of Vegetable Science, Horticultural College and Research Institute, Periyakulam,2022 in ten moringa genotypes to assess pod, seed characters, oil yield, quality. In pod among PKM MO-3 recorded highest length (75 cm) & fresh weight (154 g), MO 7 dry (37 2 girth (7.7 9 lowest length, weight, Number seeds per yield tree. characters 3 registered (0.92 c...

To explore small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing identifying technology for horticultural crop diseases, and to combine it with small UAV spraying, the peach leaf blade was taken as material, the peach shot-hole disease was taken as object for spectral capture, and the intellectualized identifying and precision control system for horticultural crop diseases were developed, mainly i...

The present investigation was carried out at the Department of Vegetable Crops, Horticultural College and Research Institute (HC&RI), Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Periyakulam during 2016 -2017. Twenty genotypes used to study genetic diversity for different yield attributing characters moringa by principal component analysis. In this study, twelve components, five components exhibited...
