growth traits, yield and fruit quality in ‘synda’ tomato were compared with those in tomatoes grafted onto either ‘king kong’ rootstock or onto their own rootstocks, (trained as single or double stem), and at two fruit thinning levels, of: no thinning or thinned to five fruits per truss. the data related to crop growth rate (cgr), relative growth rate (rgr), net assimilation rate (nar), leaf ar...

experiments were conducted to test the effects of two different paper bags, white single- and green double-layers, on fruit quality and sunburn of pomegranate (punica granatum cv. rabab neiriz). young fruits, at 35 days after full bloom, were covered by bags. the results showed that white single layer bag increased size and weight of fruits and aril weight in comparison to those of control. in ...

to evaluate the inoculation effect of potassium releasing, phosphate solubilizing and nitrogen fixing bacteria on the fruit quality of tomato, an experiment based on randomized complete block design with 9 treatments and 3 replications has been conducted. in this experiment, tomato (super chief cv.) seedlings of the in the treasury cultivation with single and combined treatments of the potassiu...

Limited-cluster production systems may be a useful strategy to increase crop production and profitability for the greenhouse tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill). In this study, using an ebb-and-flood hydroponics system, we modified plant architecture and spacing and determined the effects on fruit yield and harvest index at two light levels. Single-cluster plants pruned to allow two leaves ab...

Carbon partitioning in the leaves of Cucumis sativus L., a stachyose translocating plant, was influenced by the presence or absence of a single growing fruit on the plant. Fruit growth was very rapid with rates of fresh weight gain as high as 3.3 grams per hour. Fruit growth was highly competitive with vegetative growth as indicated by lower fresh weights of leaf blades, petioles, stem internod...

iran is the center of origin as well as variation for pomegranate (punica granatum l.). also, iran is one of the most important countries in the world in terms of pomegranate culture and production. monitoring morphological and physiological changes which occur during fruit growth and development is an important determining in orchard management decisions. the aim of the present research was to...

a number of grapevine cultivars have female flowers and for better fruit set, they need pollinizer. single planting of these cultivars leads to severe decrease in fruit set. this research was carried out to investigate the effect of cross pollination with four grape cultivars (askari, rish baba, bidane sefid and tabarze sefid) on fruit set, bunch weight, berry per cluster, average weight of 20 ...
