abstract having no exact knowledge of most appropriate harvesting time in kiwifruit grown in different regions of guilan province, as well as the low storage longevity of the fruits are the most important factors causing considerable reduction in both marketability and export affairs. in this study, the influence of fruit quality in term of harvesting time on the postharvest quality and food va...

Harvest and post-harvest operations constitute principal constraints to rice production, especially in irrigated systems, because of the larger yield that has to be handled. Post-harvest crop losses of up to 35% have been reported and attributed to inefficiency of manual threshing of rice by small-scale farmers. This leads to poor grain quality and rejection of locally produced rice. The Africa...

Corn production management including nitrogen consumption will be different at different circumstances. In order to investigate the effect of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and yield components of seed corn hybrids in Khuzestan weather conditions, this research was carried out in the summer of 2013 in the lands of Safi Abad Agriculture and Natural Resources Research Center-Dez...

According to urgent need of corn to nitrogen and since this element play a main role in improving of yield corn, thus, in order to investigate the effect of different levels of urea on yield and yield components of corn 704, an experiment was conducted randomized block with three replications in cropping year of 2012. Experimental treatments included six levels of urea (0, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 1...

BACKGROUND: Wheat produces more than 50 percent of requirements protein and calorie for human nutrition in Iran. Management of nitrogen fertilizing is important to increasing wheat production. So, among chemical fertilizer a high correlation reported between nitrogen and yield. Also to improve physical, chemical and biological properties of soil, organic fertilizer such as verm...

research was carried out in 2007 on 7 native summer-ripening apple cultivars grown in kamal abad karaj research station. the 16 year-old plants were grafted onto seed rootstocks. the cultivars were ghandak-e-kashan, golab-e-isfahan, golab-e-kohanz, mashad, assali, ghermez-e-rezaieh and a new cultivar--koli-e-mahallat (syn. escr). the aim of the study was to identify changes in qualitative and q...

to evaluate the anti-transpiration effect on yield and yield components of corn late yield 704 under drought stress experiment split factorial randomized complete block design with three replications in spring 2012 at the research station, kermanshah. and paclobutrazol treatments include salicylic acid, which is taking on two levels. based on the values determined in the following order foliar ...

a randomized complete block design with four replications and a split plot arrangement was conducted in 2010, in order to study the effect of limited irrigation on yield and yield component of sweet corn. water levels were (100%, 80%, and 60% replacement of plant water requirement) which served as main plots. subplot was a factorial arrangement of three different sweet corn varieties (merit, ob...
