Kiwifruit requires a high quantity of nutrients that must be supplied through fertilization to obtain an optimum yield on a sustainable basis. This research was conducted to evaluate different fertilization methods including broadcast application (as control), deep placement of the fertilizer and fertigation, alone or in combination with foliar application and their effects on the yield, leaf m...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of exogenous polyamines, isopropyl ester, 2, 4-D and naphthalene acetamide application on yield and quality of date palm of ‘Kabkab’ cultivar. The inflorescences sprayed with 2, 4-D isopropylester (0, 10, and 20 mg L-1), naphthalene acetamide (0, 80, and 120 mg L-1), putrescence and spermidine (0, 0.1, and 1.0 mM), three or six weeks after pollin...

an increasing world population and the competitive nature of the stone fruit market, particularly nectarines [(prunus persica var. nectarine)], demand the selection of fruit with high quality attributes, flavor, and a wide range of maturity. information on this subject is limited at the present time. in search of superior nectarines, a trial was conducted to study growing degree days (gdd), ful...

In this experiment (in the absences of disease pressure) the application of Mycostop had no effect on yield or quality of fruit harvested. Nutrient and irrigation application based on the amount of solar radiation received by the crop reduced the amount of nutrient used without reducing yield or quality. Fruit quality was higher with lower amounts of irrigation but yield increased with increase...

To investigate effects of putrescine (Put) and humic acid (HA) on fruit yield and physiological attributes of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. 'Kano') under water deficit stress, a field experiment was conducted in split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. Plants were exposed to three different irrigation regimes (33%, 66% and 100% ETc) and were treated with...

this research was carried out to investigate the effect of different levels of potassium (in nutrient solution), harvest season and plant density on yield and quality of strawberry cv. selvain hydroponic system conditions. the tests were done in the greenhouse, and laboratories of horticultural science department of the university colleg of agriculture and natural resources of tehran university...

abstract in order to study the effect of planting density and branch pruning on growth, yield and quality of greenhouse muskmelon, a study has been conducted using a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with three replications and three factors, including cultivar (galia-52 and mirella), branch pruning (1 and 2 branch per plant), and plant density (2, 2.4, 2.8 and 3.6 plants p...

the effect of shoot pruning (2, 3 and 4 branches per plant) and fruit position selection (on main branch vs on main and lateral branches) on yield and qualitative characteristics of two greenhouse grown pepper (capsicum annuum l.) cultivars (torkal and paramo) was studied through a factorial experiment arranged in a completely randomized block design, of three replications. results indicated th...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of exogenous polyamines, isopropyl ester, 2, 4-d and naphthalene acetamide application on yield and quality of date palm of ‘kabkab’ cultivar. the inflorescences sprayed with 2, 4-d isopropylester (0, 10, and 20 mg l-1), naphthalene acetamide (0, 80, and 120 mg l-1), putrescence and spermidine (0, 0.1, and 1.0 mm), three or six weeks after pollin...
