Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) and tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) are common diseases of tomato in Florida. TYLCV occurs in central and southern Florida whereas TSWV occurs in northern Florida and throughout all states of the southeastern USA. TYLCVresistant cultivars and advanced breeder’s varieties are available for commercial use, but vegetable producers don’t often use them. A vari...

Business colleges and schools expose students to core business principles, which yield potential employees having certain marketable skills and awareness. However, the current business environment also advocates an intensive use of information technology to enable competitive advantage, which requires a basic awareness of information security practices. This study empirically explores the aware...

Twenty bacterial wilt resistant lines including recently developed at CSKHPKV, Palampur (08) were studied to ascertain the extent of genetic variability, type and magnitude correlation between component characters & marketable yield, as well direct indirect impacts every character on yield. For all variables except plant survival, analysis variance exhibited significant differences across g...

frost occurrence during plant growth created special conditions to evaluate the effects of planting date on dry matter content and agronomical characteristics of potato cultivars influenced by natural frost in field conditions. a split-plot experiment with three replications was carried out to compare three planting dates, as main plot, from 1 to 21 november with 10 day intervals and four culti...

Rising atmospheric CO₂ concentrations will probably increase rice (Oryza sativa L.) yield but decrease grain nitrogen (GN) concentration. Grains attached to different positions in the panicles differ greatly in weight and quality, but their responses to elevated CO₂ (e[CO₂]) are poorly understood, which limits our understanding of the mechanisms of yield enhancement and quality degradation. Thu...

Potato grown for early or off-season production plays a crucial role in the economy of several areas in the Mediterranean countries. Irrigation is important for determining yield and earliness, thus a better investigation of plant response under various pedo-climatic conditions can help to improve resource use efficiency and farmer income. A two-year field research (2009-2010) was carried o...
