abstract in order to study the effect of planting density and branch pruning on growth, yield and quality of greenhouse muskmelon, a study has been conducted using a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with three replications and three factors, including cultivar (galia-52 and mirella), branch pruning (1 and 2 branch per plant), and plant density (2, 2.4, 2.8 and 3.6 plants p...

Genetic variability, heritability in broad sense and expected genetic advance as percent of mean for fruit yield and nine characters were studied in 25 pointed gourd genotypes. Fruits per plant and fruit yield per plant showed maximum variability. Genotypic coefficient of variation was found high for fruit yield and number of fruits per plant. All the characters under study were highly heritabl...

continual bearing and production of the highest quality fruits in kiwi requires initial training and regular annual pruning. effects of three training systems including t-bar, as a common training system, modified ty (mty) and y-shape (y), and two pruning levels (60 and 80 buds per vine) was studied on yield and quality characteristics of kiwifruit ‘hayward’. experiment was carried out in a fac...

abstract in order to provide optimal yield and quality of tomato fruit (lycopersicon esculentum mill. cv. beril), different growing media for soilless culture of tomato plants were studied. seedling of tomato (lycopersicon esculentum mill, cv. beril ) were cultivated in perlite, mixture of perlite with nh4-zeolite and with raw zeolite (z:p ratio 10v:90v) and fed by two nutrient sources: a) comp...

study on relationships between yield and its components will improve the efficiencyof a breeding program with appropriate selection criteria. in this study,interrelationships between yield and its components in cantaloupe were investigatedusing sequential path coefficient analysis. to determine important components of yieldin cantaloupe, 49 genotypes generated from 7 × 7 diallel, were evaluated...

deficit irrigation is an essential optimization method for water consumption in irrigated lands. in order to investigate the effects of deficit irrigation on growth, yield and quality traits of two tomato (lycopersicon esculentum mill.) cultivars a factorial layout based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in agricultural research station of miandoab during...
