post-harvest management of potatoes is a major challenge in iran. approximately 30% of the harvest is lostafter a few months of storage. the chemical methods for long term storage are not adequate to controldeterioration and also produce undesirable side effects. to address this issue, a study on radiationpreservation of potatoes was carried out. agria potato bulbs were irradiated using beta be...

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect pre-harvest spraying with aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) and ethephon on fruit maturation 'Baigent' apple (Malus domestica) trees grown under black anti-hail nets. treatments were: control; 125 mg L-1 AVG, sprayed 30 days before anticipated harvest time (DBAH); 120 7 DBAH; 62.5 + AVG 20 DBAH DBAH. Fruit were harvested in commercial c...

an experiment was conducted as a split – split plot in form of a randomized block design with four replications in cilakhor region of iran in 2004. the main factor was the seed planting date with three levels (5, 12 and 25 april), sub factor was the crop density with two levels (160,000 and 250,000 pl/ha) and sub-sub factor was the crop arrangement with two levels (equidistant and non-equidista...

background and objectives: recently, double-cropping of rice in mazandaran due to favorable climate condition is highly interested by the rice farmers. so that, after harvesting of main crop of rice, farmers can grow again one crop of rice during summer, especially in the years which climate conditions are suitable for double cropping of rice in a rice-rice growing system. therefore, developmen...

in order to evaluation the different sowing date and different harvest time in intercropping of maize and legume plants on maize forage quality, a randomized complete block with three replications conducted in research field of university of sari agricultural sciences and natural resources in 2011. treatments were included three legume plants (soybean, fenugreek and cowpea) at two sowing time (...

determination of the response of differentcrop varieties to environmental variables from planting to harvest is one of the fundamental pillars of agriculture planning to achieve maximum yield and desirable quality. changing planting date by effect on vegetative and reproductive growth period and balance between them, will affect yield and product quality. in order to study the responses of four...

in order to study the effects of planting date and plant density on yield and its components in three chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) cultivars in rainfed conditions of ilam, a field experiment was carried out using split plot design as factorial by complete randomized block design with three replications at shirvan-chardavol agriculture research station during 2008-2009. sowing dates were assign...

The effects of three harvesting dates; 120 150 and 180 days after planting (DAP) and four potassium fertilizer levels; 0, 48, 72 and 96 Kg K2O fed -1 , on vegetative growth characteristics, tuber yield potential and quality of Jerusalem artichoke (cv. Balady) were studied. Two field experiments were conducted during the two successive summer seasons of 2001 and 2002 at the Experimental station ...

requested that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) conduct another assessment of the projected impacts of extended framework dates for duck hunting. To better assess the potential impact, the Service asked the Flyway Councils to survey their respective States concerning their interests in extended framework dates in each of their duck-hunting zones. Based on this survey, which assumed ...
