Volatiles from flowers at three blooming stages of nine citrus cultivars were analyzed by headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME)-GC-MS. Up to 110 volatiles were detected, with 42 tentatively identified from citrus flowers for the first time. Highest amounts of volatiles were present in fully opened flowers of most citrus, except for pomelos. All cultivars were characterized by a high p...

The aim of the study was to assess influence Trichoderma spp. and different fertilization levels on flowering nutritional status Begonia × tuberhybrida Voss. ‘Picotee Sunburst’ plants. Before planting, tubers were soaked in water or a mixture spore (T. viride Schumach–Tv14, T. harzianum Rifai–Thr2, hamatum/Bonord/Bainier–Th15) form suspension for 24 h. plants fertilized every 7 days with multi-...

The present investigation to study the effect of nitrogen and planting density for open grown roses loose flower production was carried out at Department Floriculture Landscaping, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana during 2020-21. Two years old plants were used this which planted three different spacings 70 x 100 cm, 90 cm 80 cm. fertilized with four levels 0 g, 1.5 2.0 g 2.5 per plant mo...

I. Pangola grass (Digitaria decumbens) was grown with or without sulphur fertilizer, cut at seven stages of growth, dried and given to sheep with or without a supplement of 0.6 g S as sodium sulphateld. Voluntary intake and digestibility of dry matter (DM) and retention time in the reticulo-rumen, of various components of the grasses were determined. 2. Grass grown on the S-fertilized plots had...

Bee species interactions can benefit plant pollination through synergistic effects and complementary effects, or can be of detriment to plant pollination through competition effects by reducing visitation by effective pollinators. Since specific bee interactions influence the foraging performance of bees on flowers, they also act as drivers to regulate the assemblage of flower visitors. We sele...

Edible flowers have been used in the food and beverage industries because of their high nutritional value, flavor, scent. For storage edible these industries, drying is a necessity to store materials more easily prevent damage metabolites flowers. However, may affect metabolite retention conditions can differ according various methods. In this study, Agastache rugosa were dried using four diffe...

Abstract Deep tropical soils with net anion exchange capacity can adsorb nitrate and might delay the eutrophication of surface waters that is often associated many temperate croplands. We investigated soil pools in deep Southern Brazilian Amazon, where conversion forest Cerrado to intensive fertilized soybean soybean-maize cropping expanded rapidly 2000s. found mean top 8 m increased from 143 k...

Research goal: Based on the information found in literature, it has been verified that use of biofertilizing algae can definitely improve plant quality, growth, and blooms. In this work, studies were conducted to evaluate whether cultivation ornamental cacti pots qualities resistance salt stress plants normally grow environmental conditions different from our latitudes. Materials Methods: The e...

Equilibrium-tension lysimeters were used to evaluate and compare dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) leaching from a prairie and fertilized no-tillage and chisel-plowed corn agroecosystems on Plano silt loam (fine-silty, mixed, superactive, mesic Typic Argiudolls) in south central Wisconsin during four monitoring periods, March through April 1996, 1997, and 1998, and from January 1999 through S...

Promotion of sustainable horticulture via wider use peat substrate substitutes makes wood fiber an increasingly popular component. Interspecific geraniums are plants huge potential in the floriculture market, but there not enough specific guidelines on their cultivation. This study investigated effectiveness enriching with 10%, 20%, 30%, or 40% (by volume) waste pot cultivation interspecific cv...
