In crop growth and development, boron (B) is an essential trace element. Boron deficiency is common in highly leached, acidic sandy soils of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) growing regions in the world. Boron is particularly important in pollen germination and pollen tube growth resulting in successful fruit setting. Therefore, B deficiency during flowering and fruiting may significantly reduce ...

Pollination efficiency and reproductive success vary strongly among populations of most animal-pollinated plant species, depending on their size and local density, whereas individual plants within populations experience varying levels of reproductive output as a result of differences in floral display. Although most orchid species have been shown to be severely pollination limited, few studies ...

Background & Aim: Deanaie thyme (Thymus daenensis Celak.), a member of the Lamiaceae family.  Thymus in one of the most important medicinal and aromatic plants that was used in pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics hygienic industries in most of developed countries. Recent studies have showed that thyme have strong antibacterial, antifungal, spasmolytic and antioxidant acti...

Almond tree yield is a function of the number of flowers on a tree and the percentage of flowers that set fruit. Almonds are borne on spurs (short proleptic shoots that can have both leaves and flowers). Almond tree spur dynamics research has documented that previous year spur leaf area is a predictive parameter for year-to-year spur survival, spur flowering and to a lesser extent spur fruiting...

This study aims to determine the growth response of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) liquid organic fertilizer noni fruit (Morinda citrifolia grown in lebak swamps. In this study, a randomized block design (RBD) method was used which consisted 6 treatments and 4 replications. The concentration extract P0 = 0 ml, P1 P2 8 P3 10 P4 12 P5 14 ml. Observations were made on plant height, number branche...

All total 21 F1 crosses of local landraces were evaluated along with seven parents and one check brinjal by adopting RBD replicated twice at AICRP on Vegetable Crops, OUAT, Bhubaneswar, Odisha. The objective the experiment was to evaluate performance for growth, flowering, fruit yield attributes. Results revealed significant variations among various vegetative characters (plant height : 74.50 c...

this study was conducted with the main purpose of investigating genetic variation among 13 selected sweetcherry (prunus avium cv. siah mashhad) genotypes, i.e., the most important iranian sweet cherry cultivars based on their pomological, morphological, and phonological characteristics. the experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications at khorasan-e-razav...

In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to evaluate the genetic variability of yield contributing characters, and the genetic diversity in forty-four genotypes of okra collected from the IIHR, Bangalore, India. Analysis of variance indicated significant differences among the genotypes for different morphological characters. High GCV and PCV were observed for plant height, inter-n...
