Abstract:
... Japanese apricot blooms in mid-winter, and thus severe weather conditions, including low temperatures, sometimes limit pollinator activity and consequently decrease fruit set rate and yield. Plant physiology is also affected by weather conditions. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of pollinator activity on fruit set rate and yield, in comparison with the effects of meteorological fact ...
... Jujube (Zizyphus jujuba Miller var. inermis Rehder) is highly susceptible to jujube gall midge (Dasineura jujubifolia Jiao & Bu) larvae infestation, which causes rolled leaf damage, leaf galls, discoloration, and a decline in fruit yield. In this study, we demonstrate the larvicidal potential of cuticle-degrading chitinase and protease produced by Bacillus velezensis CE 100 against jujube gall mid ...

Abstract:
... Environmental control of flowering in everbearing strawberry is well known, while the optimal commercial raising conditions for high and continuous yield remains unsettled. We exposed freshly rooted plants of cultivars Altess, Favori and Murano to 9 °C, 15 °C, 21 °C and 27 °C, respectively, at two photoperiods for 4 weeks, and assessed flowering and yield performance. Long days at 15–21 °C enhance ...

Abstract:
... Blossom-end rot (BER) is a physiological disorder related to calcium (Ca) deficiency in tomato fruits. However, adequate Ca supply is not sufficient to inhibit the BER incidence. The Ni-Ca interaction has increased the Ca content in Ni hyperaccumulators plants. However, studies with commercial plants are still incipient. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of Ni-Ca interaction in ...

Abstract:
... Shortage of winter chill has reduced pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) fruit yield and quality from 2015 to 2018 in Iran. In this study accumulated chilling was determined by the chill hour (CH) and the dynamic (DM) model in five regions near Shahrebabak County, Kerman Province, Iran, for dormant season 2017–2018. The CH model has been routinely used in Iran for reporting chilling accumulation for pist ...

Abstract:
... Glasshouses hold the potential to improve global food security, but high energy costs are an ongoing challenge in bringing them to the forefront of agriculture in warm climates. Here, the energy-saving potential of a ‘Smart Glass’ (SG), diffuse glass fitted with ULR-80 film which permits transmission of 85% of photosynthetically-active light and blocks heat-generating radiation, was characterised ...

Abstract:
... Anthracnose, a major problem for persimmon exporters worldwide, reduces fruit yield and quality. In this study, a pathogen causing anthracnose of an imported persimmon fruit from an unknown country of origin was identified using a polyphasic approach. The pathogenicity of two fungal isolates, MBPER001A and MBPER002, was assessed by wound inoculation on healthy persimmon fruits. Anthracnose symptom ...

... The use of Lagenaria siceraria rootstocks in watermelon production has favored fruit yield and quality under conditions of environmental stress. However, it is necessary to know if the differential characteristics of fruit and seed L. siceraria are related to watermelon yield and fruit in grafted plant. The objective was to evaluate two dissimilar groups of Mexican L. siceraria as rootstock in Tri ...

The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of soil application of different doses of fish protein hydrolysates (FPH) on the growth parameters of the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plant. FPH treatment were applied through soil application in three different doses such ...

... Olive yield components are first determined during flowering, ovary growth, and fruit set. However, variations of the assimilates available during these important processes have been little studied. The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of source-sink alterations on (i) production of flowers and their structure, (ii) sink responsiveness source activity, and (iii) the relationship bet ...

Abstract:
... Tomato plant has high yield potential, although the yield is very low because of non-availability of superior cultivars for protected cultivation. Presence of diversity is an important for variety development. Hybridization among divergent parents is probably produce ample variability and helps to isolate superior recombinants. So, the study was carried out to assess of genetic diversity in tomato ...
