The 900-odd species of Ficus (20, 21) constitute the most distinctive of the widespread genera of tropical plants. Figs have (a) a complex obligatory mutualism with their pollinating agaonid fig wasps, yet are found in almost all tropical habitat types and geographic locations [this sets them apart from ant-acacias (63-65), euglossine-orchids (24,26), moth-yuccas (45, 88, 89,), ant-epiphytes (6...

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect decreased spacing between 'Roxo de Valinhos' fig (Ficus carica) trees with different numbers fruiting branches on green production. Fig trees, two or four branches, were distributed in blocks, at a standard 2.5 m rows, three plants row (0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 m), densities 8,000, 5,333, 4,000 per hectare. experiment conducted during c...

The fig tree (Ficus carica L.) was one of the first domesticated trees. In 2019, world’s fruit production estimated at 1153 tons. However, leaves are not utilized, resulting in copious quantities bio-waste. To identify promising varieties, hydroethanolic extracts were prepared from five varieties (Pasteliere—PA, Longue d’Aout—LA, Dauphinie—DA, Boujassote Noire—BN, and Marseille—MA). variety wit...
