Off-season strawberry production may diversify the yield, thereby increasing costs, but environmental conditions are a limiting factor. This experiment aimed to study effects of vernalization on off-season flowering and gene expression in sub-tropical cv. Pharachatan 80. The factorial (2 × 2) + 1 completely randomized design was used this study. Factor A temperatures: 2 °C 4 °C. B periods: week...

Anthocyanin accumulation is responsible for the red color of skin apple fruits (Malus × domestica Borkh.). Environmental stimuli, such as light, temperature, soil factors, tree and application chemicals can alter synthesis anthocyanins. Herein, we examined expression genes related to anthocyanin biosynthesis in fruit cultivars, ‘Summer Prince’ ‘Arisoo’ at early stage development 60 DAFB (days a...

Exposure to surface moisture triggers cuticular microcracking of the fruit skin. In mango cv. apple, compromises postharvest performance by increasing loss and infections with pathogens. This study reports effects exposing fruit’s skin on incidence water vapor permeance. Microcracking was quantified microscopically following infiltration a fluorescent tracer. Water mass determined gravimetrical...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of two N-fertilizer rates and plant density on herb yield and active substance of feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium Cv.Zardband). The experiment was performed in a factorial trial, RCB design. Three rates of N-fertilizer (0.75 and 150 kg/ha) and plant densities of 10 and 20 cm were applied as treatments, with three replications. After perfo...

Peach tree thinning is essential to harvest quality fruits and keep balanced production for several years. Manual of peach trees demands much work force increases costs. Chemical may be an alternative solution, but efficiency depends on doses species. This study aimed at evaluating the effect metamitron – applied different concentrations chemical in south Brazil. The experiment was carried out ...

To evaluate the effect of climate change on peanut production in Northern Iran on the basis of 2oC rise in temperature, a study was conducted using the SSM-Peanut. The simulation was done based on the long-term data obtained from synoptic stations in Guilan including Anzali, Astara, Kiashahr (Astaneh Ashrafieh), Lahijan, Rasht (Agriculture station), Rasht (Airport station), Roudsar and Talesh. ...

recently full factorial design approach has been used to assess the recycling potential of a given waste. the objective of this study is to identify the significant factors and interactions involved in maximizing compressive strength of concrete when chromium waste is used as admixture. in this respect, experimental factors at two levels, which are admixture type (chromite/ chromite+ superplas...
