Plant hormone keeps a significant role to enlarge the fruit size and quality development. Fruit growers have a lot of interest in making fruit enlargement and shorten maturity to harvest fruit earlier and to make it marketable soon. Gibberellic Acid (GA3) and bark stress play a significant role in fruit enlargement and development. Bilimbi fruit was used in this experiment. The flower bud were ...

pomegranate (punica granatum) is an important fruit crop cultivated for fruit and processing in the iran. delaying fruit harvest of pomegranate may increase fruit losses due to fruit cracking; however, early harvest may influence physical and biochemical indices of fruit. an experiment was carried out in 2011 at ‘baghmalek’ (north west of ahwaz, khuzestan province, iran) to determine the effect...

Fruit flies are an ideal animal for biological research. Fruit flies can grow quickly in the lab, and we can study many fruit flies at the same time. The fruit fly has an outer layer, just like the human skin, to protect itself from injury or damage. If humans and fruit flies respond to injury in similar ways, then we can use fruit flies to discover new steps to improve human health. Using smal...

Effect of different fruit position on postharvest quality of F1 hybrid redfleshed watermelon Hi-U 16 was examined. In this study only one main vine was trained and maintained. The plants were allowed to set three fruits naturally at the first (8th - 11th nodes), second (13th - 16th nodes) and third (18th - 21th nodes) position. Fruits were harvested at 35 days after anthesis. Fruit weight, diam...

The performance of a multi-view machine vision method was documented at an orchard level, relative to packhouse count. High repeatability achieved in night-time imaging, with absolute percentage error 2% or less. Canopy architecture impacted performance, reasonable estimates on hedge, single leader and conventional systems (3.4, 5.0, 8.2 average error, respectively) while fruit load trellised o...

Strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) are highly perishable fruit. Timely prediction of yield is crucial for labor management and marketing decision-making. This study demonstrates the use high-resolution ground-based imagery, in addition to previous weather information, throughout season at different intervals (3–4 days, 1 week, 3 weeks pre-harvest). Flower fruit counts, yield, imagery data...
