Abstract:
... The forced cultivation of strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) requires fast flower bud differentiation. Using temporary nutrient-withholding periods is a common management practice for inducing flower bud differentiation at strawberry nurseries in the Republic of Korea. After the temporary nutrient-withholding period, nutrient solution resupply can advance both flower bud growth and fruit yie ...

Abstract:
... Both nitrogen and calcium fertilization management are vital for crops, where an imbalance of these elements can cause both physiological and yield problems. It has been proposed that nitrogen absorption, particularly ammonium, is in part dependent on calcium supply. Moreover, the balance between these two nutrients could be a key indicator of plant growth in some species. Tomato, one of the most ...

Abstract:
... In view of alleged positive effects of coloured (red) hailnets on phytochrome, photosynthesis, yield and fruit quality, the objective of the present work was to investigate a range of red and green hailnets using apple as a model crop with cvs. 'Pinova' and 'Fuji Kiku 8'. Light transmission of green or red hailnets peaked between 500 and 570 nm (green) or above 570 nm (red-orange) and was reduced ...

Abstract:
... Elevated CO₂ concentration (e[CO₂]) could induce the decline of nutrient concentration in tomato fruit, although it enhances the yield. Alternate partial root drying (PRD) irrigation is a water-saving irrigation strategy, which may enhance tomato fruit quality including both organic and inorganic attributes. Yet, it remains unknown whether PRD could alleviate the negative impact of e[CO₂] on the q ...

Annual fruit yield within a region often alternates between high and low fruit load and is termed alternate bearing. The underlying cause of alternate bearing is the negative impact of high fruit load on vegetative growth and next year's flowering. In this review, we emphasize ...

... Jatropha shrubs grow tall if left non-pruned. Pruning helps to keep the height within harvestable distances. Since, Jatropha flowers are borne on leaf axils of new growth in the season, pruning is supposed to increase fruiting because of formation of more number of lateral branches due to suppression of apical dominance. However, results of exploratory studies revealed drastic reduction of fruit y ...
