using mulch to decrease and optimize water use is known as a practical method. for this purpose, a split-factorial experiment based on complete block design with three replications on two melon cultivars was conducted in spring season of 2010 in torbat-e-jam. interval irrigation treatments in three levels (6, 8 and 10 days) were considered as main plot and mulch (straw plus paddy rice, plastic ...

using mulch to decrease and optimize water use, increase yield and fruit quality is known as a practical method. for this purpose, a split-factorial experiment based on complete block design with three replications on two melon cultivars was conducted in torbat-e-jam, iran. interval irrigation treatments in three levels (six, eight and 10 days) were considered as main plot and mulch (rice straw...

Total soluble solid (TSS) content is commercially used as fruit quality index because of its high positive correlation with sugar content. In the present study, The effect of foliar application of naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) with different concentrations (0, 25, 50, and 100 mg.L-1) at 4 true leaf and fruit set stages and plant training (pruning and thinning) on TSS and soluble sugar (i.e. suc...

to investigate the effects of methyl jasmonate growth regulators on growth characteristics, fruit number and fruit yield of ‘semsuri’ melon, an experiment at the field of shahid bahonar university was conducted in summer 2012. melon (cv. ‘semsuri’) is widely cultivated in iran and therefore increasing the fruit yield and quality of this cultivar is necessary. some growth regulators including me...
