In this article, we present a model to evaluate both marketable quality and profitability considering service providers and consumers relation. We use the real values of some leading Japanese manufacturing corporations as virtual data of service providers to our proposed model to analyze its accuracy. By analysis, we found that the theoretical and real standard values of the marketable quality ...

a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications was carried out in order to study the effects of tuber size, nitrogen fertilizer and harvest date on yield and yield components of potato. this experiment was conducted in a grower’s farm in uraki village located in chabahar city, in 2011. in this experiment, the treatments were two levels of tuber size (...

The design and implementation of environmental policy often involves more than one pollutant, and must consider pollution as a byproduct of the production of marketable output. In this paper, we test the implicit assumption in the empirical literature that (1) production of marketable output, pollution, and abatement are separable, and (2) different pollutants can be abated separately. Using un...

'Nagasaki Kogane' is a new potato variety bred from a cross between 'Saikai 35' as a female parent and 'Saikai 33' as a male. 'Saikai 35' is resistant to bacterial wilt, contains the H1 and Rychc genes for resistance to the potato cyst nematode (PCN) and potato virus Y (PVY), respectively, and has high carotenoid content, while 'Saikai 33' has large and high-yielding tubers and is resistant to ...

In potato (Solanum tuberosum) production, the number of tubers harvested and their sizes are related to plant population. Field maps spatial variation in density can therefore provide a decision support tool for spatially variable harvest timing optimize tuber by allowing densely populated management zones more tuber-bulking time. Computer vision has been proposed enumerate numbers using images...

In order to investigate the effect of different levels of biological fertilizers on potato performance (cv. Marfona), an experiment was carried out as strip plot based on RCB design with 3 replications in 2011 at Isfahan. Treatments included Nitrocara at 4 levels (0: control, 220, 330 and 440 ml.ha-1) as a first factor and Nitroxin+ Phosphate at 4 levels (0+0: control, 20+100, 30+150...

Plant lipoxygenases (LOXs) are a functionally diverse class of dioxygenases implicated in physiological processes such as growth, senescence, and stress-related responses. LOXs incorporate oxygen into their fatty acid substrates and produce hydroperoxide fatty acids that are precursors of jasmonic acid and related compounds. Here, we report the involvement of the tuber-associated LOXs, designat...

in order to find the superior genotypes and high yielding potato varieties, the experiment was carried out on 33 introduced potato genotypes and varieties based on a complete randomized block design with four replications, in which a number of morphological characteristics were investigated. results of analysis of variance on the recorded traits revealed that the studied genotypes were signific...

A field experiment was conducted in Eastern Tigray, Ethiopia, during the summer season to determine effects of flower removal and earthing up time on tuber yield quality potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). The comprised three stages five treatments, which were laid out a randomized complete block design (RCBD) 5x3 factorial arrangement with replications. Data collected parameters analyzed using SAS ...
