in order to investigate the effect of pruning and potassium nutrition on pumpkin grain yield and quality, a factorial experiment based on complete block design with four replications was carried out in nooshar village of ardabil province, ardabil, iran, in 2007. experimental factors include potassium nutrition in three level (0, 75 and 150 kg/ha from potassium sulfate) and stem pruning (without...

Flowering, the beginning of reproductive growth, is a significant stage in growth and development plants. Conifers are economically ecologically important, characterized by straight trunks good wood quality and, thus, conifer plantations widely distributed around world. In addition, species have tolerance to biotic abiotic stress, stronger survival ability. Seeds some species, such as Pinus kor...

pomegranate is one of the major horticultural crops in iran, but studies about this product; especially its pruning is very little. therefore this study was carried out to assess the effect of pruning and nutrition on pomegranate cultivar “robab” in qaemieh, fars province during 2008-2009. this research was conducted factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with 5 p...

summer pruning and calcium spray could improve kiwifruits quality. in this study, effect of summer pruning in two times, 2 and 15 days after petal fall alone or in combination with %1 calcium chloride spray on fruit quality and mineral elements contents of ‘hayward’ kiwifruit was investigated. calcium sprayed four times 90 days after petal fall with 15 days intervals. the results showed that su...

We present two additions to the hierarchical mixture of experts (HME) architecture. By applying a likelihood splitting criteria to each expert in the HME we "grow" the tree adaptively during training. Secondly, by considering only the most probable path through the tree we may "prune" branches away, either temporarily, or permanently if they become redundant . We demonstrate results for the gro...

A field experiment was conducted at the experimental of Department Horticulture in Sylhet Agricultural University to evaluate growth and yield performance three okra genotypes (viz. BARI Dherosh-1, Dherosh-2 & RAJ F1) under special management practices de-topping non de-topping) from March July 2022. The two factor laid out a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with replications. Dheros...
