Hops (Humulus lupulus L.) is economically relevant in the brewing industry. Although Brazil has a big beer market, the unfavorable climate makes the hop growing difficult. Micropropagation is an alternative way to clone plants, but in this process somaclonal subculture variations may occur. In order to reduce consecutive subcultures, the slow growth technique can be used. To develop a slow growth protocol for the conservation of hop plants and Cascade and Nugget cultivars in vitro, Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium was supplemented with doses of osmotic agents: sucrose and sorbitol. The plants were kept at 25°C or 4°C during 120 days. After 4 months, the plants were transferred to a new MS medium containing sucrose (30 g.L-1) and kept for 30 days under optimal growing conditions. After evaluation, the plants were transplanted and underwent a 30-day acclimatization period, and then the ex vitro survival was evaluated. For both cultivars, reduced growth was observed at 4°C, with a satisfactory survival rate. There was no significant interaction between the osmotic agent and temperature for Cascade cultivar Conversely, the Nugget cultivar did have interaction, and the treatment with sucrose (60 g.L-1) at 4 ºC reduced plant length, brought largest root length and fresh mass.

Pruning is one of the main tasks that must be taken into account in the management of a cacao plantation. Its proper application stimulates production, facilitates the harvest of ripe fruits and the removal of fruits and organs diseased by Cacao frosty pod rot and Witches´ Broom. Essentially, pruning consists of removing suckers, branches that grow downwards and to the sides, intertwined branches, twigs that form inside the crown, and the tipping of upper branches to preserve the proper height of the trees.

The capacity as a biological control agent is due to multiple mechanisms, such as competition for nutrients, for space and myco-parasitism. While the fungus of the Trichoderma genus has several advantages as a Biological Control Agent; it takes nutrients from the fungi that it degrades and from the organic matter helping its decomposition. Therefore, the objective of this work was to determine through microcultures the mycoparasitic capacity of native strains of Trichoderma spp. against Verticillum dahliae, etiological agent of olive verticillium wilt. The action and type of parasitism of three native strains of Trichoderma against the phytopathogen V. dahliae was determined using the microculture technique. A trial with a completely randomized design with a 3x2x2 factorial arrangement (3 antagonists x 2 pH levels x 2 lighting levels) was performed. The capacity of each native strain of Trichoderma to exert different types of parasitism under the established conditions was determined. This being considered of great interest since the biocontrol of the phytopathogen is evidenced through physical contact with the native strain of Trichoderma. Therefore, it is of great importance to continue the antagonism studies of different strains of Trichoderma to determine the efficiency of the control of V. dahliae.

Metallic nanoparticles are receiving more attention as a result of their extensive uses in fields such as health, chemistry, agriculture, and biotechnology, which may be related to their matching small sizes. Because most plants are normally economically, readily accessible, eco-friendly, and harmless, the utilization of plant material for nanoparticle production has increased a lot of traction. The findings of this review are noteworthy because nanoparticle production is different in the properties, types, and physical as well as chemical processes of nanoparticle development for the green development of nanoparticles, their types, and their properties. We have studied in detail the biosynthesis of nanoparticles utilizing extracts from most common plants and their various sections, as well as the various kinds of characterization processes employed for their identification. Numerous current investigations have shown that plant extracts can be used as a non-hazardous precursor for the combining of nanomaterial. Various kinds of reducing and capping/balance factors are abundant in plant extracts. As a result, this approach has great scale-up potential and can generate nanoparticles with a variety of morphologies. Plant-derived NPs are not at most further stable with regards to forming a size and produce a better yield than conventional physical and chemical approaches. As a result, the effect of numerous experimental agents on the size as well as the rate of nanoparticle formation is also discussed. The antibacterial activity of plant-mediated biosynthesized nanoparticles is also discussed in this paper.

The project entitled, “Assessment and identification of water potential areas in Borana and Guji zone” to assess and identify the water potential with enough catchment and suitable command area that can improve the sustainable fodder production of the land and livestock supporting the Borana and Guji Pastoral and agro pastoral System. The Borana and Guji rangelands were well-known for fodder production potential, However, this production is declined from year to year due to different factors such as; Physical factors namely; grazing pressure, human activity, bush encroachment and climate variability as well as Policy attention and good government are the others most important factors. The land use change and climate variability are the key factor for affecting pastoralists’ and agro pastoralists’ livelihoods that cause food and feed insecurity both Borana and Guji zone. Therefore, the main objectives of assessment confidential into three classes, firstly, to assess the water potential areas of Borana and Guji rangelands, secondly, to identify and classify water potential sources and their limitations both zones that thematic areas of mercy corps, Thirdly, to improve communities’ livelihoods and increasing adaptive capacity of societies to climate variability and environmental and others social negative events in study areas. The assessment was conducted two zones of Borana and Guji Zones. During the assessment four main offices were selected for interview at zonal, woreda and PA level, those offices were Irrigation office, Land use office, Pastoral Development office and Water office, these cascaded to woredas accordingly. After selected and discussed with those main offices, we had been observed two main important offices that could play a crucial role of arranging and facilitation for the assessments. We assessed twelve woredas and identified thirty nine water potential sites from Borana zone while four woredas of Guji zone were assessed and eleven sites were identified as irrigation potential. The result indicated 50 sites were identified as water potential in Both Borana and Guji Zones for fodder production through irrigation techniques. Our result showed that 78% of water potential sites were found in Borana zone, while 22% of irrigation potential sites were found in Guji zone. We identified four water potential or sources through different reservoir construction techniques such as micro earthen dams 22 sites, rivers 8 sites, ponds 15 sites and depth wells 5 sites. Our Result showed that 44% of water potential sources were MEDs, 16% were river streams, while 30% shows pond and 10 % shows depth well respectively.

The production technology of Lavandula angustifolia (true English Lavender) from rooting of stem cuttings, standardizing the distance for plantation in field, yield of essential oil and economics of cultivation has been discussed. 92% rooting can be achieved in the semi hardwood cuttings of L. angustifolia if treated with 2000ppm IBA in the month of October. Maximum herbage yield (fresh flower) on harvesting after two years can be to the tune of 11,420kg ha-1 when planted at a spacing of 50cm X 50cm. Maximum yield of essential oil 117 kg ha-1 has been obtained from 50cm X 50cm spacing and thus showing a recovery rate of 1.02%. Actual benefits are obtained after 2nd year of plantation and production may continue up to 12-15 years. Economic analysis has shown the net results will be Rs 4.0 lakhs ha-1 year-1. Comparing the quality profile of essential oil cultivated in Kashmir with that of cultivated in Europe it has become evident that Kashmir lavender oil (linalool > 44%) is of international standards.

Poor coloration of the arils and externally on the skin have been the main problems of pomegranates as well as skin cracking before harvest. This study was conducted during two consecutive seasons 2020 and 2021. Proline was sprayed alone or along with fruit bagging. The treatments included. The control (tap water spray, Proline at 0.25mM. proline at 0.25mM plus fruit bagging, proline at 0.5mM, proline at 0.5mM plus fruit bagging, proline at 1mM and finally proline at 1mM plus fruit bagging. The non-ionic surfactant top film was added to all used treatments at 0.05% (v/v). The treatments were applied by spraying three times to the run off after fruit set, at the initiation of rapid fruit elongation and at fruit maturity. The results indicated that there was an increase of anthocyanin in the skin whether alone or in the presence of bagging in a consistent manner. More the porline concentration, more the increase in skin color. Meanwhile, the greatest content of anthocyanin in the aril juice was obtained with proline at 1mM plus fruit bagging. In addition, proline at 0.5mM plus fruit bagging had a significant effect on aril's anthocyanin as compared with the control. Total soluble solids also increased significantly with the treatment of proline at 1mM plus fruit bagging. The same combination of treatments was also found with aril weight. More fruit characteristics were also discussed. In general, the use of proline spray three times has potential to enhance coloration of pomegranates especially in the presence of fruit bagging.

More the porline concentration, more the increase in skin color. Meanwhile, the greatest content of anthocyanin in the aril juice was obtained with proline at 1mM plus fruit bagging. In addition, proline at 0.5mM plus fruit bagging had a significant effect on aril's anthocyanin as compared with the control. Total soluble solids also increased significantly with the treatment of proline at 1mM plus fruit bagging. The same combination of treatments was also found with aril weight. More fruit characteristics were also discussed. In general, the use of proline spray three times has potential to enhance coloration of pomegranates especially in the presence of fruit bagging.","PeriodicalId":108819,"journal":{"name":"Horticulture International Journal","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121565513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
