Accurate pre-harvest estimation of avocado (Persea americana cv. Haas) yield offers a range of benefits to industry and growers. Currently there is no commercial yield monitor available for avocado tree crops and the manual count method used for yield forecasting can be highly inaccurate. Remote sensing using satellite imagery offers a potential means to achieve accurate pre-harvest yield forec...

five levels of salicylic acid (sa), (0, 2, 4, 6 & 8 mm) were sprayed on strawberry cv. comarosa fruit bearing plants in a hydroponic culture. growth, yield & fruit quality attributes were assessed. vegetative characteristics (crown number, root & shoot weight), reproductive traits (yield, fruit number as well as shape), fruit quality, macro elements (ca, mg, k & p), dry weight & ash were evalua...

In this paper, we present a technique to estimate citrus fruit yield from the tree images. Manually counting the fruit for yield estimation for marketing and other managerial tasks is time consuming and requires human resources, which do not always come cheap. Different approaches have been used for the said purpose, yet separation of fruit from its background poses challenges, and renders the ...

Objective: This field experiment was laid out in order to study on effect of Nano and Bio fertilizers on yield and yield components of tomato (Lycopersicone sculentum L.) during the growing seasons 2013- 2014. Methods: The experiment was laid out in a factorial based on randomized block design with three replications. Treatments were K nanofertilizer in five levels such as (0, 100, 200...

nitrogen is one of the most important and essential lelments for plant growth and development and it has an important role on quantitative and qualitative yield production in agriculture. this study was carried out to evaluate the effects of foliar application of nitrogen on qualitative traits of tomato fruits using a completely randomized design with five treatments and four replications under...

to determine the effects of different pollen types and suitable pollination time in medjhol date palm, an experiment was carried out with three pollen cultivars: ghaname, vardy and samesmave and two pollination times (1-3 days before or after spathe opening) during 2010-2011 in date palm and tropical fruit research institute in ahwaz. the results showed that the vardy pollen had the most signif...
