The aim of this research was to determine the impact soaking bitter melon seeds in a Pseudomonas alcaligenes and Bacillus sp bacteria suspension on growth yield melon. A randomized block design used with 11 treatments consisting three isolates P. alcaligenes, four sp, one mixed control, each which repeated times for total 44 experimental pots. Data were analyzed using variance test one-way ANOV...

The use of toxic protein bait sprays to suppress melon fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett) (Diptera: Tephritidae), populations typically involves application to vegetation bordering agricultural host areas where the adults seek shelter ("roost"). Although bait spray applications for suppression of oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), populations have traditionally been applied ...

in this study, the effect of foliar spray with calcium chloride (0, 0.75, 1.5 and 3 g l-1) during 2, 4 and 6 weeks before commercial harvesting time of apple fruit cv. ‘gala’ and ‘delbarestival’ which trained in three different systems (v shape, hightech and cordon) was investigated. the results showed that types of training systems and foliar application of calcium can affect on fruits quality...

Aims: To estimate the effects of general and specific combinatorial fitness in parents progeny on yield fruit quality related traits melon.
 Study Design: A completely randomized block design with three replications was used to analysis variance combining ability (GCA) (SCA). The genetic carried out based Griffing Method II dialelic (1956) fixed model. Tukey P=.05 mean comparison analysis....

In 2007 to 2008, a fruit rot of Melon (Cucumis melo L.) caused by Sclerotium rolfsii occurred sporadically in a farmer's vinyl house in Jinju City. The symptoms started with watersoaking lesion and progressed into the rotting of the surface of fruit. White mycelial mats appeared on the lesion at the surface of the fruit and a number of sclerotia formed on the fruit near the soil line. The scler...

Methodology The object study is two research institutions. Tests carried out three agroecological zones: Astrakhan, Volgograd regi...

Galia muskmelon (Cucumis melo L. var. Reticulatus Ser.) is an F1 hybrid known for exceptional fruit flavor. Since introduction to the market in 1973, the original ‘Galia’ has become a trade name for look-alike cultivars. Some ‘Galia’-type cultivars are firmer, ship well, and may be less susceptible to powdery mildew [Podosphaera xanthii (Px) (syn. Sphaerotheca fulignea)] than a true ‘Galia’, bu...

peach genotypes showing notable fruit and tree traits were selected in ardabil and east azarbaijan provinces of iran. genotypes were grafted on seed rootstocks and cultured with 4×4 m spacing. traits such as tree growth habit, flowering, maturity, morphological and qualitative fruit characteristics were described in 15 peach genotypes using ibpgr peach descriptors during the 2005-2007 seasons. ...

Fruit productivity and quality of eight years peach and nectarine cultivars (Rich Lady, Ryan Sun, Ruby Diamond and Venus) grafted onto Cadaman-Avimag, Viking, Atlas, GxN 15, GF 677, MRS 2/5 and Nemaguard (control) rootstocks were evaluated. A Split Plot experimental design was used, with each rootstock/scion combination as an experimental unit. Total yield, fruit size distribution, number of fr...
