this experiment was carried out in 2003-2004 to determine fruit set patterns in four pistachio cultivars (akbari, ahmad aghaie, kalle ghouchi and ohadi) to find out the correlation between final fruit set and embryonic sac development, and as well between primary fertility and final fruit set. in a field experiment, inflorescence schematic shape and position of flowers (on inflorescence on the ...

the different factors such as harvest time, product handling, temperature and storage duration can be influenced on the different properties of citrus fruits and has considerable economic consequences. therefore a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with 3 replications was performed to evaluate the effects of harvest times (start of color change, 50% of color change and f...

a study was conducted on six years old trees of almond, shahroud cv. (no. 18), in a three-year trial (2002-04) at mashhad agricultural research station. the experiment was done on the basis of completely randomized desigh with four replications. in the first and second years of the experiment, ethephon was sprayed in 15 and 20 days before the common time of harvesting, respectively. the concent...

Peppers (Capsicum spp.) are an important crop in the USA, with about 32,000 ha cultivated in 2007, which resulted in $588 million in farm revenue. The pepper weevil, Anthonomus eugenii Cano (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is the most troublesome insect pest of peppers in the southern United States. It is therefore urgent to find different vulnerabilities of pepper cultivars, fruit and plants parts...

in this research, during three consecutive years (2010-2012), a series of diallel crossing was performed among wild type barberry genotypes and iranian seedless barberry. setting of seed and fruit in the crossing have been studied and then seedling survival were evaluated in several cultural systems. results showed significant effects of pollen sources on setting of fruits, seed and seeded frui...

abstract having no exact knowledge of most appropriate harvesting time in kiwifruit grown in different regions of guilan province, as well as the low storage longevity of the fruits are the most important factors causing considerable reduction in both marketability and export affairs. in this study, the influence of fruit quality in term of harvesting time on the postharvest quality and food va...

In this study, we evaluated zinc (Zn) and selenium (Se) biofortification in strawberry fruits under substrate soil cultivation, along with their effects on mineral element accumulation fruit quality. To achieve this, foliar Zn (0.1% 0.2%) Se (0.003% 0.006%) fertilizers were applied separately or combination at the initial flowering stage. The contents increased spraying dosage. Compared to cont...
