Nutritional indices of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on different host plants including chickpea (cultivars Arman, Hashem, Azad, and Binivich), common bean (cultivar Khomein), white kidney bean (cultivar Dehghan), red kidney bean (cultivar Goli), cowpea (cultivar Mashhad), tomato (cultivar Meshkin) and potato (cultivars Agria and Satina) were studied under laboratory co...

Study the effect of fruit cultivar (intact, early split, irregular crack) on (Akbari, Abbasali, Khanjari) cultivars in Damghan city to Aspergillus Flavus fungus and effect of harvest time in early split pistachio in 1389, sampling from orchards has been performed. Samples after grinding by dilute cultivating in a specific AFPA medium bottles in a completely randomized model were three times rec...

The antioxidant properties of different almond cultivars (cv.), either regional (Casanova, Duro Italiano, Molar, Orelha de Mula and Pegarinhos cv.) or commercial (Ferraduel, Ferranhês, Ferrastar and Guara cv.) were evaluated through several chemical and biochemical assays: DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity, reducing power, inhibition of beta-carotene bleaching, in...

in this research, we studied physical, chemical and biochemical characteristics of pistachio entitled pistacia vera cv. daneshmandi and was compared to three pistachio including of badami sefid, kalle ghoochi and akbari. the examined characteristics were fresh and dry weight of seed, green shell and also kernel, weight of hard shell, seedless and early opening nut, comparing the seed and kernel...

chlormequat (cycocel or ccc), the plant growth retardant, was evaluated for its ability to control plant height in brassica oleracea cultivar ‘kamome white’ and ‘nagoya red’. different concentrations of ccc (0, 500, 1000 and 1500 mg/l) were sprayed and drenched on plants 40 days after transplanting. data were recorded the 60 and 90 days after transplanting. the 1500 mg/l of ccc resulted in abou...

For the last five years an average 14,761 ha of white clover has been grown for seed, with 77%, 8% and 15% sown in public cultivars, New Zealand and overseas proprietary cultivars, respectively. The area presently contaminated by proprietaries is estimated at 20,000 ha. New Zealand requirements for cultivar-change are more effective than OECD requirements. The five-year break period enables suc...

Cost reduction in plant breeding and conservation programs depends largely on correctly defining the minimal sample size required for the trustworthy assessment of intra- and inter-cultivar genetic variation. White clover, an important pasture legume, was chosen for studying this aspect. In clonal plants, such as the aforementioned, an appropriate sampling scheme eliminates the redundant analys...

Mediterranean almond growing is increasing, as confirmed in Italy where new orchards areas not previously interested this nut crop have been recently established. In these areas, the coastal of Latium region, knowledge eco-physiological behavior a complex interaction among cultivars, pedoclimate conditions and orchard management still poor. Optimizing fertilization strategies according to culti...
