growth in plants is defined as irreversible increase in volume and size. these changes are varied depending on stage of growth and physiological activity of the fruit tree. this research was conducted to determine the duration period of fruit growth and development and to come up with a mathematical model representing the relationship between fruit diameter, volume, and fruit fresh and dry weig...

abstract to investigate the effects of paclobutrazol (pbz) on vegetative and reproductive growth of strawberry cv. selva a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with three replications was carried out in greenhouse of agriculture college, isfahan university of technology. pbz was applied in two methods, drench and foliar spray, at 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 mg active ingredient per p...

This study was carried out on olive trees cv. Amygdalifolia, to investigate the effect of spraying potassium nitrate, KnO3, and zinc sulfate, ZnSo4, on the fruit weight, dimension and volume. The plants were sprayed with 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% KnO3 and 0, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75% ZnSO4 and their combinations in August about halfway through the fruit growth period. The highest fruit weight was observe...

to study yield and its components by the method of multivariate analysis, 25 genotypes of melon were sown on the basis of square lattice design of 2 replications in zahak agricultural research station. analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences among genotypes in some such characters as: fruit weight, width, and seed weight and yield. simple correlation coefficients sho...
