the effects of rootstocks such as 'sour orange' (citrus aurantium l. var. ‘yerli’), 'carrizo' and 'troyer citranges' (citrus sinensis osb. x poncirus trifoliata raf), 'smooth flat seville sour orange' (citrus spp. hybrid of uncertain origin), 'brazilian sour orange' (citrus aurantiam l. var. ‘brasilian’), 'volkameriana' (citrus volkameriana tan. and pasq.) and 'calamondin' (possibly citrus reti...

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...

excessive vegetative growth may bring about improper pollination and consequently lead to reduced fruit set and misshapen fruits. paclobutrazol (pp333) reduces vegetative growth. on the other hand, balanced nutrient uptake at all developmental stages increases fruit quality and yield. an experiment was conducted with the aim of reducing vegetative growth and improving yield of strawberry, selva...

carbohydrate flow between vegetative and reproductive parts of trees is one of the determining factors of yield and fruit quality. therefore, it varies during different times of growth season. the aim of this study was to investigate the carbohydrate content variation during growth season between leaf and fruit of nectarine. so, eight nectarine trees cv. red gold selected randomly in the orchar...

the aim of the present study was to examine the effect of grafting of watermelon hybrids ‘obla f1’ and ‘vanessa f1’ on to cucurbita maxima × cucurbita moschata rootstock tz 148 and lagenaria sp. rootstock ‘dias f1’, on the volatiles and yield of fruit and the plant growth. fruit volatiles analysis showed the presence of two aldehydes, namely (e)-2-nonenal and (e,z)-2,6-nonadien-1-al, with (e)-2...
