Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mil.) is one of the most important economical vegetable in the world and its greenhouse production has expanded during the recent years. In this study, the effects of two pruning methods on yield and some fruit quality traits indices of two varieties of tomato (Newton and Oregon) were investigated. In the first experiment (florescence pruning), treatments were ke...

In this experiment, the effect of repeated foliar application of 0.5 percent urea at three different stages of fruit growth (including initiation of embryo growth, rapid growth of embryo and during flower bud abscission with two weeks interval) on growth and yield of pistachio was investigated. To this aim, 20 mature trees of Kalleh-ghuchi were selected from the Research Garden of Vali-e-Asr Un...

This study was done to investigate and compare fruit yield, yield components, morphological traits and fruit quality of greenhouse tomato genotypes in order to use them as selection criteria. Progenies of 49 crosses of greenhouse tomato together with their 13 parents were evaluated using Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The highest amount of fruit yield was observed in ...

One of the most important limiting factors in cultivation of strawberry in greenhouses during winter season is short day-length. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of end-of-day red light on growth characteristics, yield and fruit quality of strawberry (cv. Queen Elisa) in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments in winter of 2013. Strawberry plants were exposed to red l...

To evaluate the effects of pollen source and grafting on morphological characteristics and color of tomatoes, different cultivars with various fruit colors were grown and investigated in three experiments. In the first experiment, the red sweet olive cultivar was used as female parent and yellow pear, violet cherry, yellow palm garden and orange olive cultivars were used as male parents. In the...

The effects of 4 different levels of nitrogen (0,120,150, and 180 kg nitrogen per hectare) and one level of poultry manure (10 tons per hectare) on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of an autumn grown cultivar of cucumber [Cucumis sativus, cv.'super dominos] were studied in DarrehShahr, Ilam. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design with 3 replications...
