This study was carried out in 2019 to determine the effects of methyl jasmonate (MJ), gibberellic acid (GA3) and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) applications on fruit yield and essential oil content in anise (Pimpinella anisum L.). Different concentrations of MJ (0, 0.1, 0.5 and 1 mM), GA3 (0, 50, 100 and 150 ppm) and NAA (0, 25, 50 and 100 ppm) were pulverized to the plant during the beginning of the flowering. Phytohormone applications had a statistically significant effect on the parameters examined in the study, and the effects of the applications generally varied depending on the application doses. While GA3 and NAA applications significantly increased the fruit yield and essential oil content compared to the control, high-dose MJ applications generally had a negative effect on all parameters except that the thousand-grain weight. The highest fruit yield was obtained from 100 and 150 ppm GA3 and 25 and 50 ppm NAA applications, while 1 mM MJ applications significantly reduced fruit yield compared to the control. Depending on the applications, the fruit essential oil content varied between 1.94%-2.69% and the essential oil yield varied between 1.42-3.18 L/da. While the highest essential oil yields were obtained from 100 ppm GA3 and 50 ppm NAA applications, 1 mM MJ applications caused a significant decrease in essential oil yield compared to the control.

This study was carried out in Isparta conditions in 2014 and 2015 in order to determine the effects of foliar applications of Gibberellic acid (GA3) and Methyl Jasmonate (MJ) at different growth stages on cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) fruit yield and essential oil quality. Different concentrations of GA3 (0, 50, 100 and 150 ppm) and MJ (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mM) were applied to the leaves by spraying in two developmental periods: vegetative development period (40 days after emergence) and mid-flowering (60 days after emergence). The applications of GA3 and MJ have generally positively affected the yield and parameters affecting fruit yield in cumin, and the resulting effect has varied depending on the application doses. The highest number of umbrellas and number of fruits was obtained from applications of 100 ppm GA3, 1000 grain weight and fruit yield were obtained from applications of 0.5 and 1.0 mM MJ. The effect of both applications on the synthesis of essential oils was found to be statistically significant, and all applications except that high-dose GA3, significantly increased the fruit essential oil content compared to the control (1.85%). The main components of the essential oils in all applications were similar (3-caren-10-al, cuminic aldehyde, μ-terpinene, β-pinene and cymol). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, Minneola Tangelo hybrid, a cross of grapefruit and mandarin (Duncan grapefruit x Dancy mandarin), used as interstock to Star Ruby grapefruit with different lengths. Effects of different interstock lengths on fruit yield and quality, plant development and photosynthetic parameters were investigated. According to the results, different interstock lengths significantly affected fruit yield and size. The highest fruit yield was determined in T-M20-S whereas the lowest was on T-M5-S. The highest fruit size were determined in Star Ruby fruits on T-M5-S and T-M40-S whereas the lowest on T-M20-S and T-S (control). T-M40-S and T-M20-S treatments markedly reduced stem diameter and tree canopy in comparison to other treatments and control. Usage of different interstock lengths did not significantly affected some of fruit quality traits, net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, leaf transpiration rate, leaf water usage efficiency and leaf chlorophyll concentration. In regards to seasonal changes, net photosynthetic rate were higher in spring and summer seasons then winter and fall seasons.

The experiment was carried out to determine the effect of foliar micro element application on Chojuro cultivar in Asian pear (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai) in producer orchard that established in 3 x 4 m spacing in Uşak ecological condition in 2018. In the experiment, it was investigated the using foliar microelement (Fe, Zn, Mn and Cu) fertilization method with different application frequency effects on the plant growth, fruit yield and quality characteristics of Chojuro cultivar. As a result, the leaf area and shoots length and diameter in plants increased with a rising foliar application numbers. The application of foliar fertilizer yielded dark-colored fruits.3 times applications were increased leaf Fe, Zn, Mn and Cu content by 33%, 61%, 189% and 80%, respectively. However, the foliar nutrient application did not cause any significant differences in fruit yield. Especially 3 times applications were increased fruit weight by 28%. The total soluble solids (TSS) rised from 12.8% to 14.3% with the increased foliar application, but the fruit firmness was significantly reduced. For the Asian pear cultivation, which is fairly new in the Turkey, application of foliar fertilization method in micronutrient deficiencies could be applied to obtain quality products.

Different pollination techniques were applied to improve fruit quality in kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa cv. Hayward) in the province of Yalova. Open pollination was considered as the control, and additional pollination experiments are conducted. Experiments except for control; were open pollination + hand pollination (AT+ET), open pollination + artificial pollination (AT+ST), pollination using honeybee area covered by bee–veil (AKABAT), and pollination using bumblebee area covered by bee–veil (AKABOAT). Results indicate that the effects of additional pollination applications on fruit quality were important, and AKABOAT gives the best results with regard to fruit weight, fruit diameter, fruit length and number of seed. In terms of yield, AT+ST and AKABOAT applications were found to be superior.

This study was established at the experimental field of Horticulture Department of Çukurova University in Adana, Turkey during 2013-2015 harvest period two consecutive years. Two plum cultivars (‘Black Diamond’, ‘Angeleno’) and Friar as pollinizer grafted on Myrobolan rootstock were used as plant material. Trees produced commercially good yield in 2014, at the fourth growing season. The aim of this study was to compare four different pruning systems (spindle, 4 leader- Quad-V, central leader and open vase) and six different planting distances (0.8-1-1.2-1.6-2- 4 m and standard inter rows 4 m) for yield (ton ha-1) on several fruit quality variables such as (fruit weight, firmness, fruit flesh/seed weight, TSS, TA). Morphological and phenological characters were observed and chilling accumulation of the study area was determined. Sufficient chilling accumulation was calculated in both years regarding fruit crop load. The best results for quality characteristics were obtained from Spindel (1.2x4 m) high density pruning system for both cultivars. Also, ‘‘Black Diamond’’ cultivar on Spindel (1.2 m) gave the highest fruit weight (110.4 g) and yield (62.27 ton ha-1).

Greenhouse tomato production is in the first place in Turkey, 34% of total tomato production (3.614.472 tonnes) is under greenhouse conditions. The increase in yield in Turkey is due to the spread of undergrowth cultivation besides the use of qualified varieties and seeds. Synthetic fertilizers can’t be used to obtain economic efficiency in underground organic tomato growing Therefore, the application of alternative fertilizers (barn stubble, green manure, organic fertilizer, vermicompost etc.) needs to be improved. For this purpose, effect of the eight different fertilizer combination including organic and worm liquid fertilizer, humic acid and mycorrhizae applications on tomato plant and fruit yield were investigated in the study. Negative check without any fertilizer application growing and a positive check; a synthetic liquid fertilizer application was included. Experiment was set up according to completely randomised block design with 3 replications under greenhouse conditions. Tomato fruit length, diameter and weight was determined as fruit yield and fresh and dry weight as plant yield. There was not any statistical difference among fertilizer applications for fruit and plant yield. However, the highest tomato fruit yield was obtained in the treatments of organic (7.17 kg/ plot) and worm fertilizers (4,80 kg/ plot) in combination with mycorrhizae. The results were similar for fruit diameter and length. Plant fresh and dry weight was between 2.01 to 5.92 and 0.368 to 1.153 kg, respectively. The highest plant weight was belong to mycorrhizae and organic fertilizer application.

In this study the effects of rootstocks on watermelon fruit quality and yield were investigated by comparing grafted plants with non-grafted and self-grafted ones in open field conditions in over two consecutive years (2013-2014). The watermelon cultivar Crimson Tide was grafted onto Ferro RZ, Maximus, Nun 9075, RS 841, No:3, Strong Tosa and TZ 148 rootstocks. Non-grafted and self-grafted plants were used as control. Grafting increased the average fruit yield between 17.45% and 52.56% compared to non-grafted treatment. It was concluded that among the tested rootstocks No:3 along with Nun 9075 and TZ 148 rootstocks can be advised due to the increase in fruit yield, total soluble solids and taste panel test values and that the use of grafted plants can be advantageous alternative in watermelon production for producers.

Product yield and quality in agricultural production is closely related to plant nutrition. The most important input used in plant nutrition is fertilizers. Since chemical fertilizers, which are used as indispensable in today's modern agriculture, are both costly and harmful to the environment and people, the search for more economical and effective solutions to these inputs has gained importance. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of different organomineral and chemical fertilizer applications on yield, quality and nutrient intake in strawberry cultivation. Sweet Charlie strawberry variety was used as plant material, organomineral fertilizer (Agronatura, Agrosulfur, 5x15, and 30.0.0) and chemical fertilizers (Agrohum, Azurite and 4x10) were used as fertilizer materials. The mean values of the measurements made at the end of the study were evaluated statistically. In the research; Quality parameters such as yield per plant, average fruit weight, water-soluble dry matter content, fruit acidity, micro (iron, zinc, manganese and copper) and macro (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and calcium) nutrient contents were examined. According to our findings, organomineral fertilizer applications gave the best results in terms of yield and average fruit weight criteria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study was carried out between 2019-2021 in order to examine the phenological, yield and pomological properties of 'Chandler' cultivar grafted on Kaman-1 and Serr cultivars and Keles genotype used as seedling rootstock. Bud swelling, bud break, leafing, receptivity dates in male and female blooming were recorded as phenological trait of the trees. Fruit weight, fruit size, kernel percent and kernel rottenness-shrinkage ratio were evaluated as pomological properties of fruits. In study leafing, male and female blooming in trees grafted on Keles occurred later than in trees grafted on other rootstocks. The effect of rootstocks was found to be significant in 'Chandler' cultivar and higher values were obtained from trees grafted on Kaman-1 and Serr rootstock. The effect of rootstocks on yield was significant, higher values were obtained from the trees grafted on Kaman-1 and Serr rootstock. In the study, the effects of rootstocks on fruit quality characteristics such as kernel weight, kernel percent, shell thickness and kernel rottenness found to be significant differences. It was determined that Serr and Keles rootstocks gave better results, especially in terms of high kernel percent and low kernel rottennes, which are considered to be economically important parameters in nuts. When the study results were evaluated in general, it was concluded that the performance of Serr rootstock was better than the other rootstocks used in the study in terms of yield and fruit quality parameters.

In the present study, effects of AVG, MeJA and AVG+MeJA applications on pre-harvest fall and fruit quality was investigated using Starcrimson apple cultivar. AVG (300 mg/L) and MeJA (7.5 mM) applications were carried out 1, 2 and 3 weeks, and 2, 3 and 4 weeks before the harvest; respectively. In addition, AVG was administered to the trees 1, 2, and 3 weeks before harvest and MeJA together at 2, 3 and 4 weeks before harvest. Cumulative fruit fall off was reduced by 7.73% AVG application prior to 1 week of harvest, by 8.74% 2 week before AVG+ and 3 week before MEJA applications and by 11.60% AVG application prior to 2 weeks of harvest compared to control application. The lowest total fruit yield was obtained using AVG application 3 weeks before harvest + MEJA application 4 weeks before . The highest fruit yield was obtained from combined application of AVG applications prior to harvest at 2 weeks application periods. Fruit width, length and weight significantly increased compared to control application. The highest fruit dimensions was obtained from MEJA application administrated 2 week before the harvest while the lowest fruit dimensions were obtained from control. AVG application one week before the harvest gave the lowest fruit firmness (14.96 lb), the highest fruit firmness was observed from MEJA application (27.91 lb) 2 week before the harvest. All applications significantly increased total phenolics content and antioxidant capacity compared to the control. Differences in skin color was not important between applications and the control.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of different irrigation regimes on the vegetative growth, fruit yield and quality of young apple trees from 2000 to 2007 year in Igdir Plain conditions. Irrigation regimes were applied by increasing the available water at 90 cm depth soil profile to field capacity in different time intervals (S1: 7 days, S2: 14 days, S3: 21 days and S4: 28 days). Three apple varieties grafted on MM106 rootstock (Golden Delicious, GD; Starking Delicious, SD; and Granny Smith, GS) and under-tree micro sprinkler irrigation method was used in this study. Effects of irrigation regimes on vegetative growth, fruit yield and quality were not statistically significant. Statistically significant differences were generally obtained among years, and cultivars. The average values of vegetative growth and fruit yield per tree of the GD (13.9 cm² year-1 and 60.3 kg tree-1), fruit yield per unit trunk cross - sectional area of the GD and the SD (0.49 kg cm-2 for both cultivars), and fruit yield per unit crown volume of the SD (7.4 kg m-3) were more than those of other cultivars for the experimental years. Titrable acidity and pulp hardness of the GS (1.18% and 6.3 kg cm-2), and total solids soluble in the water for the GD (12.2%) was more than other cultivars. The highest water use efficiency, and irrigation water use efficiency were obtained from the S4 irrigation regime for all the cultivars. Consequently, the S4 irrigation regime to have the highest water use efficiency should use to conserve the water for the cultivation of apple in Igdir Plain conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, different rootstocks used in tomato; effects on plant growth, fruit quality and yield were investigated. Beaufort F1, Kingkong F1, Hamarat F1, Arazi F1, Spirit F1 were used as rootstock, Ayer 38 F1 was used as the scion. Ayer 38 F1 non-grafted and also Ayer 38 F1 /Ayer 38 F1 self-grafted plants combinations were as the control used. Scion diameter, fruit firmness, internode length, number of leaves, plant high, EC and pH value of juice, titratable acidity, soluble dry matter content, fruit height, fruit diameter were not affected by rootstocks. However, an increase in rootstock diameter, early yield, total yield, fruit weight, total fruit number were observed by rootstocks. According to the result, it was observed that rootstock diameter ranged 14.5 mm-19.8 mm, total yield 8.83-14.43 kg/m², the number of fruits per plant ranged from 21.5-54.5. The effects of scion/rootstock combination on total yield were significant and Ayer 38 F1/Hamarat grafting combination resulted in higher yield than the other grafting combinations. Consequently, it was determined that tomato yield and fruit quality could be positively affected by appropriate rootstock selection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The productivity of tomato in Nepal is very low due to lack of high yielding, disease and pests resistant varieties. An experiment was carried out to evaluate horticultural traits of 50 genotypes obtained from World Vegetable Centre (WorldVeg), Taiwan and SAARC region, and local collections during March to August 2020 in open field conditions at National Horticulture Research Centre, Khumaltar, Lalitpur. The objectives were to identify promising open-pollinated tomato cultivars for high yield, appropriate fruit size, and disease resistant. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Results showed significant differences in yield and yield attributing characters including virus infection. The highest yield (39.6 mt ha-1) was produced by HRA43 and it was followed by HRA33 (26.4 mt ha-1). Among the WorldVeg OP lines, AVTO1429 produced the highest yield (16.21 mt ha-1) and it was followed by AVTO1717 (12.95 mt ha-1), AVTO0922 (11.83 mt ha-1) and AVTO1219 (11.7 mt ha-1) respectively. Most of the WorldVeg lines performed better than the check variety ‘Pusa Ruby’. Genotype HRA43, Red Local and Sindhupalchock Local were not affected by virus while Yellow Local showed 3.3% infection. Among the WorldVeg lines, AVTO1712 (20%), AVTO1717 (20%) and AVTO1718 (13%) and AVTO1219 (15%) showed less than 20% virus infection in the open field conditions. Cluster analysis using the unweighted paired group method with arithmetic mean showed that cluster-1 was the largest cluster comprised of 40 genotypes followed by cluster-2 and cluster-4. Genotypes from cluster-4 showed the higher fruit yield (25.1 mt ha-1) and resistant to the virus and the highest number of fruits per plot (1978 in 4.5 m2 area). The yield was low in cluster-1 which could be due to the heavy rainfall during the vegetative and reproductive stages. Genotypes Red Local and Sindhupalchock Local could be used in future tomato breeding program due to their resistant to TYLCV, higher potential yield and highest plant vigour in open field conditions at the mid-hill of Nepal. Considering the overall performance, genotype HRA43, HRA33 and AVTO1429 were promising lines with performance for yield and other horticultural traits.

Aims: This study aims to determine the effects of growing locations on harvest time and yield distribution in strawberry varieties. Methods and Results: This study was conducted during 2014-2015 growing season at Mustafa Kemal University Agriculture Faculty Horticulture Department on Antakya (117.6 m), ÅžakÅŸak (755.1 m) and Urumu (443.5 m) locations using four strawberry cultivars (Camarosa, Rubygem, Albion, and San Andreas). In the study, the first harvest dates, harvest period and monthly yield distribution and total yields per plant were investigated. Conclusions: The earliest first harvest was recovered from Albion and San Andreas cultivars. Among locations were given in the first week of April from Antakya. According to cultivars and location harvest period has changed between 41.1 and 78.3 days. The highest yield was recovered from Rubygem (473.6 g/plant) and Camarosa (417.1 g/plant). The lowest yields were recovered from Albion (277.4 g/plant). There was no effect on the yields of locations. Significance and Impact of the Study: While the first harvests were taken from the low altitude location, the harvest time was longer in the high altitude location. No effect of the locations on the yields has been determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of NK chemical fertilizers in combination with compost on the growth and yield attributes of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). The pot experiment was done in a complete randomized block design possessing eight treatments with four replicates. Fruit weight, pulp weight, seed weight, total soluble solid, leaf area and dry weights of plat parts were taken and fruit yield was calculated. All the collected data were subjected to statistical analysis. The results revealed that there were significant differences in fruit and seed weights, total soluble solid, pulp weight, 100 seed weight, pulp consistency, leaf area and crop residue. In these parameters, higher mean values were recorded in chemical fertilizers (7.5 g N + 6 g K2O + 15 g P2O5 per m2) with compost (2 kg per m2) than those in the chemical fertilizers applied alone (9.0 g N + 8 g K2O + 15 g P2O5 per m2as standard control). Total soluble solid and fruit yield were 5.73 obrix and 3.21 kg/m2 respectively in the chemical fertilizers with compost (7.5 g N + 6 g K2O + 15 g P2O5 +2 kg compost per m2) treated plants and these were statically on par with the standard control which gave 4.36 obrix total soluble solid and 3.05 kg/m2 fruit yield. The result could be concluded that application of chemical fertilizers (7.5 g N + 6 g K2O + 15 g P2O5 per m2) with compost (2 kg per m2) could increase the total soluble solid and fruit yield as well as reduce the usage of chemical fertilizers in tomato cultivation over the standard control in sandy regosol.

Red beet is the most important source of betanin, a natural colorant commonly used in the food industry. The first production step for this food colorant presented in concentrated or powder form is the production of red beet juice. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of enzyme pre-treatment prior to pressing step in the production of high-yield red beet juice and, that of pH, temperature, enzyme ratio and processing time. In this context, the effect of enzyme addition (Pectinex Ultra SP-L) were evaluated at different pH values (2.5-5.0) and temperature (30-60 °C); and in the second step, the effects of the enzyme ratio and processing time were determined using the response surface methodology (RSM). Enzyme pre-treatment increased press yield by 17%. Under the optimum conditions which are 3.0 pH value, 50 °C temperature, 75.8 polygalacturonase unit (PGB)/g enzyme ratio and 48 min processing time, the fruit juice yield was 34.7%, the betanin content was 106.0 mg/100 g, the total phenolic content was 245.2 mg GAE/100 g and the antioxidant capacity was determined as 47.0 µmol TE/100 g.

Strawberry is ranked as the first within berry fruit group in terms of production and consumption values. With the increase in consumer's demands, strawberry production increases day by day due to the fact that strawberry has many developed commercial cultivars and adaptation to various climate conditions. It is necessary to evaluate the yield and quality under various climate and soil conditions of many developed strawberry cultivars and recommend them to producers as a result of these studies. This study was conducted to investigate yield characteristics and production opportunities of four commercial strawberry cultivars (Albion, Sweet Charlie, San Andreas, and Monterey) grown in Merzifon district of Amasya city. In the study, Monterey cultivar had the highest yield with an average of 307.8 g plant-1, followed by Albion cultivar (283.7 g plant-1), San Andreas cultivar (243.7 g plant-1), and Sweet Charlie cultivar (64.41 g plant-1). Monterey cultivar gave the highest result with the average of 26.08 in fruit number per plant. In fruit index, Albion cultivar had the largest fruits (12.8 g berry-1), whereas, the cultivar having the smallest fruits was Sweet Charlie (7.39 g berry -1). Even though no statistically significant difference was observed between the examined cultivars in terms of soluble solid content, Monterey cultivar had the highest soluble solid (9.81 %). It was concluded in the present study that strawberry production could be realized and especially Albion, Monterey and San Andreas strawberry cultivars could be evaluated as an alternative product for locals in Merzifon district that have suitable conditions for plant production in terms of climate and soil conditions.

Aims: This study was carried out for compared different soil tillage main crop peanut and wheat + second crop peanut in Çukurova Region. The study was conducted in Alata Horticultural Research Instıtute Directorate in the field of cultivation in 2015-2016 growing periods with three replications according to randomized block experiment design. With this purpose; four different tillage systems were applied. Methods and Results: In the peanut two-year study; main crop of fruit yield values changed between 433.10 kg/da and 548.66 kg/da, while second crop of fruit yield values changed between 267.06 kg/da and 338,88 kg/da. The main crop and second crop different soil tillage methods of the highest fruit yield level was determined 209.78 kg / ha, while the lowest fruit yield level was determined 164.99 kg / da. Main crop of fuel consumption values changed between 33.33 l/ha and 63.80 l/ha, while second crop of fuel consumption values changed between 34.92 l/ha and 62.48 l/ha. The main crop and second crop different soil tillage methods of the highest fuel consumption level was determined 2,09 l/ha, while the lowest fuel consumption level was determined 0.2 l/ha. Conclusions: As a result were determined positive effects different soil tillage main crop and second crop peanut on yield and fuel consumption. Significance and Impact of the Study: The monetary values of soil tillage methods have been presented with economic comparison. The most positive effect in terms of yield, fuel consumption, production in put cost and income was determined in T1 (conventional soil tillage) and T2 (reduced soil tillage) tillage methods.
