This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different crop load levels on apple trees’ yield and physiological characteristics, emphasizing relationship between stem water potential link trunk diameter growth load. It was conducted in 2014 at Station Expérimentale Fruits et Légumes (SUDEXPE-CEHM) Southern France. The ‘JoyaTM’ Pajam-1 rootstock used as plant material. Trees were subjected hand t...

Salinity is an important factor in reduced cucumber yield and quality. Grafting on the resistant rootstock could keep growth near to optimum condition. The aim of the present research is to investigate the characteristics of different rootstocks on physiology and fruit characteristics of cucumber. Treatments were rootstocks [Rn: Nongrafted (Cucumis sativus v. DAVOSII), Rt: Tanbal (Cucurbita max...

gain of enough knowledge on how to reduce mechanical damages is indispensable in developing fresh fruit handling as well as post harvest systems. this research was performed to determine and compare the susceptibility of five apple varieties to impact loads in khorasan region. five apple varieties of khorasan region (aroos, abbasi, yellow lobnani, red lobnani and golshahi) were loaded by two im...

in order to evaluate the effect of harvest time on fruit weight, oil content and fruit bearing in the next year in some cultivars of olive (conservalea, amygdalolia, karidolia, koroneiki, arbequina, zard and rouwghani), an experiment was performed as a split plot in time based on crd (completely randomized design) with three replications at olive research station (tarrom–zanjan) during 2013 and...

Bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) grown in Florida has traditionally been field-grown and harvested at a mature-green stage. However, the demand for highquality colored pepper has led producers to look at pepper grown under protected structures. Thirty-six colored pepper cultivars (red, orange, yellow, chocolate, and purple) from both Israeli and Dutch seed companies were compared during the Fal...

The present study was conducted on five ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk) cultivars (Komethry, Pakstany, Um-sulaem, Toffahy and Peyuan) grown in Saudi Arabia during 2005 and 2006 seasons. The aim of the present study was to investigate fruit properties (fruit weight, length, diameter, shape, specific gravity, seed weight, pulp percentage, total soluble solids (TSS), acidity percentage, TSS/acid, v...

In this research, twenty genotypes of cucumber (Cucumis sativus) were studied that were collected from different geographical regions. The experiment was conducted as a randomized complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications in Greenhouse. Data was collected on morphological features, yield and components of yield of cucumber which include: Total fruit yield per pickling, Fruit number pe...

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...

this study was carried out on olive trees cv. amygdalifolia, to investigate the effect of spraying potassium nitrate, kno3, and zinc sulfate, znso4, on the fruit weight, dimension and volume. the plants were sprayed with 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% kno3 and 0, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75% znso4 and their combinations in august about halfway through the fruit growth period. the highest fruit weight was observe...
