the effect of four citrus rootstocks {sour orange (citrus aurantium), bakraeii (c. reticulata × c. limetta, mexican lime (c. aurantifolia) and volkamerlemon (c. volkameriana)} were evaluated on sweet lime leaf chlorophyll content and mineral concentrations (n, p, k, ca, na, mg, fe, zn, mn, cl, cu, and b) in a completely randomized design of four replications. budded sweet lime on the above root...

The MERIS Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index (MTCI), a standard level 2 ESA product, provides information on the chlorophyll content of vegetation (amount of chlorophyll per unit area of ground). This is a combination of information on leaf area index (LAI, area of leaves per unit area of ground) and the chlorophyll concentration of those leaves. The MTCI correlates strongly with chlorophyll content...

this study was aimed to study the ways of removing dormancy period and accelerating pre-sowing tuber germination to provide simple tools to apply by farmers. for this purpose, intact tubers, exposed tubers to released ethylene and sliced tubers were examined in respect to germination characters, bud length, starch, anthocyanin and chlorophyll contents and amylase activity. relative amount of an...

The MERIS Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index (MTCI) is designed to monitor vegetation condition via an estimation of chlorophyll content. Its simplicity of calculation, suitability for automation and most importantly, sensitivity to all and notably, high values of chlorophyll content made it a suitable level-2 ESA product. This index effectively combines information on leaf area index and the chloro...

This study was conducted to assay the effects of methanol foliar application (0, 10, 20 and 30% v/v) and bed cover (control, white and black covers) on yield and some physiological traits of marigold as a factorial based on RCBD. The results revealed the significant interaction effects of bed cover and methanol foliar application on chlorophyll a content and plant height. The highest plant heig...

In Hass avocado trees, the girdling and scoring of about 50% of the fruit bearing branches per tree, at the end of November 1994, resulted in an initial accumulation of carbohydrate in the leaves and branches of the girdled limbs. The girdling of only 50% of the branches and also the width of the girdle are crucial to the process since healing of the girdle wound, and continued nutrient supply ...

selection of genotypes based on high value of heritability and forecasted genetic conditions would be an effective method for improvement of wheat cultivars. the present investigation was carried out to estimate the genetic variability of agro-physiological characters using biometrical genetic techniques in 20 bread wheat genotypes under irrigated condition. for this purpose an experiment was c...
