Twelve introgressed oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) progenies of Nigerian dura x Deli dura were evaluated for bunch yield, yield attributes, bunch quality components and vegetative characters at the Malaysian Palm Oil Board Research Station, in Keratong, Pahang, Malaysia. Analysis of variance revealed significant to highly significant genotypic differences, indicating sufficient genetic variabilit...

this study was conducted to determine water stress tolerance of two iranian dudaim melons (kerman & birjand) and one iranian muskmelon (samsoury). throughout the experiment, three different levels of irrigation with three irrigation starting points (-50, -65 and -75 cb of matric potential) were employed. results indicated that water stress significantly affected yield, firmness, fruit sugars as...

Rates of nitrogen application were studied in relation to commercial yield and fruit quality of cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Bunex). All plants were grown under controlled conditions in a greenhouse. Treatments consisted of the application of N as KNO3 (N1, 2.5 g m-2; N2, 5 g m-2; N3, 10 g m-2; N4, 20 g m-2; and N5, 40 g m-2). The fruits of cucumber from the N3 and N4 treatments were...

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...

deficit irrigation is an essential optimization method for water consumption in irrigated lands. in order to investigate the effects of deficit irrigation on growth, yield and quality traits of two tomato (lycopersicon esculentum mill.) cultivars a factorial layout based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in agricultural research station of miandoab during...
