In order to evaluate the effect of different training systems on growth, yield and fruit quality of greenhouse cucumber (Cucumis sativus cv. Gohar) this experiment was set out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Treatments consisted of four training systems including twin-stem system (V-shape), modified twin-system, high-wire system and horizontal system (single-stem)...

By storing the cantaloupe fruit in the optimum conditions, it can be provided over a longer period of time with a more optimal quality in the domestic markets; its exports to other countries can be expanded and developed. This study was intended to utilize ethylene absorbents in order to preserve postharvest characteristics in the cantaloupe fruit. Therefore, fruits of Cucumis melo were stored ...

In order to determine the best source of iron fertilizer for green pepper under alkaline conditions, the experiment was conducted as factorial with three factors include of iron fertilizer (control, Fe-EDDHA and nano iron chelate), sodium bicarbonate (0 and 10 mM) and two cultivars (Bonanza and Griffaton) with three replications. Plants were treated with bicarbonate 45 days after planting for 2...

Melons due to domestic consumptions and high potential for export are very important in Iranian agriculture. In order to compare the agronomic characteristics of seven selected populations (Jalali, Tashkent, JaJu, Khaghani, Shadgany, Ghasri, Suski) and three hybrid varieties (Ananase, Durango, Akyla) of melon, this study was conducted for two years (2008- 2009) using a randomized complete block...

Eight Strawberry cultivars (Paros, Queen Elisa, Pajaro, Camarosa, Gaviota, Selva, Mrak and Kurdistan as local cultivar) were evaluated to select the best cultivar based on quantitative yield production in Kurdistan province condition. An experiment was performed in a randomized complete block design with three replications during 2008- 2010 in Grizeh research station (Sanandaj). Eleven morpholo...

  To evaluate the effect of plant density on yield and quantitative characteristics of two greenhouse cucumber cultivars, this experiment was planned as factorial, based on completely randomized blocks design with three replications, during two years in the greenhouse of Jiroft Agricultural Research Center, Jiroft, Iran. The experimental factors were width of planting strip (15, 30 and 45 cm), ...
