Present study was designed to evaluate the response of date palm cultivars Khadrawy and Zahidi to varied concentrations of pollen grains liquid suspension (1, 2, 3 and 4 g L-1). The experiment was arranged in two-factorial randomized complete block design. Results of the study revealed that the pollen application of 4 g L-1 significantly increased fruit set (86 %), fruit weight (11.27 g), fruit length (38.27 mm), fruit width (23.70 mm), fruit thickness (18.90 mm), fruit geometric diameter (24.93 mm), fruit arithmetic diameter (26.96 mm), fruit surface area (1953.93 mm2), fruit volume (11.29 cc), yield per palm (23.97 kg), seed length (2.40 cm), pulp weight (9.83 g), pulp:seed ratio (6.88) and moisture content (22.72 %). However, fruit drop parameter was minimal (37 %) in that treatment as compared to others. All other parameters (fruit sphericity, seed weight, seed diameter, percent of pulp, percent of seed, total soluble solids, total sugars, reducing sugars and non-reducing sugars) were statistically not different. However, application of 3 g L-1 pollen grains liquid suspension treatment was closely followed by 4 g L-1 pollen grain application regarding all these attributes. Comparison between the date palm cultivars, Khadrawy was observed superior than Zahidi regarding aforesaid parameters. The interaction of both factors showed positive impact of 4 g L-1 pollen suspension concentration when applied to cultivar Khadrawy, which was closely followed by 3 g L-1 application. It is therefore, concluded from the present research that although the application of 4 g L-1 pollen suspension treatment gave the best results in both cultivars, application of 3 g L-1 pollen suspension can also be practiced at a minimal compromise on date palm yield and quality for both cultivars.
本研究旨在评价枣椰树品种Khadrawy和Zahidi对不同浓度(1、2、3和4 g L-1)花粉粒悬浮液的反应。试验采用二因子随机完全区组设计。研究结果显示,4 g l - 1显著增加水果的花粉应用组(86%)、水果重量(11.27 g),果实长度(38.27毫米),水果宽度(23.70毫米),水果厚度(18.90毫米),水果几何直径(24.93毫米),水果算术直径(26.96毫米),水果表面面积(1953.93平方毫米),果实体积(11.29 cc),收益率/棕榈(23.97公斤),种子长度(2.40厘米),纸浆体重(9.83 g),纸浆:种子比例(6.88)和水分含量(22.72%)。然而，与其他处理相比，该处理的果实掉落参数最小(37%)。所有其他参数(果实球形度、种子重量、种子直径、果肉百分比、种子百分比、总可溶性固形物、总糖、还原糖和非还原糖)均无统计学差异。但是，施用3g L-1花粉粒液体悬浮液处理后，施用4g L-1花粉粒处理对所有性状的影响紧随其后。在枣椰树品种间的比较中，Khadrawy在上述参数上优于Zahidi。两因素的交互作用表明，4 g L-1的花粉悬浮液浓度对Khadrawy有正向影响，其次是3 g L-1的花粉悬浮液浓度。因此，本研究得出结论，尽管在两个品种中施用4 g L-1花粉悬浮液处理效果最好，但施用3 g L-1花粉悬浮液也可以在对两个品种的枣椰树产量和品质影响最小的情况下进行。

In order to study the effects of four IBA concentrations (0, 1000, 2000 and 3000 mg L-1) and three substrate pH levels [pH 5, 7 and 9] on rooting of hardwood cuttings of peach cv. Red May, experiment were conducted at the Department of Horticulture, College of Agricultural Sciences, University of Sulaimani/ Kurdistan,Iraq, . The experiment was laid down in a factorial RCBD with three replications. Comparison among means was done using Duncan’s multiple range test (P≤0.05). Rooting and callusing percentage, root number, root length, root fresh weight, root dry weight, shoot length, shoot diameter, leaf number, leaf area, shoot fresh weight and shoot dry weight were examined. The highest rooting percentage (40 %) was achieved from 2000 mg L-1 IBA. However, effects of IBA levels were not significant on callusing. Control gave no rooting and other root traits. Effects of the IBA concentration on vegetative traits were not different with each other except shoot diameter and leaf number. Shoot diameter and leaf number were the highest (1.12 mm and 4.51, respectively) at 2000 mg L-1 IBA. Rooting and other parameters were the best in pH 5 and 7 substrates. Substrate pH 9 gave minimum rooting and other parameters. Effects of interactions between the two factors showed that cuttings treated with 2000 mg L-1 IBA and planted in pH 7 substrate gave the highest (60 %) rooting percentage, and cuttings dipped in 1000 mg L-1 IBA and planted in pH 7 substrate gave the best other root traits. Interaction effects of the two factors on shoot traits showed that the maximum shoot traits were observed at interaction between 2000 mg L-1 IBA and pH 5 substrate.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the pepper yellow leaf curl disease (PepYLCD) caused by begomovirus at different elevations on the percentage of growth and yield reduction in chili (Capsicum annuum L.) plants. The study was conducted in farmer’s field at Lambeugak (lowland) with the latitude of 30 meter above sea level (m asl) and Saree (middleland) with the latitude of 485 m asl of Aceh Province, Northern Sumatera, Indonesia. The samples selection was obtained using the Purpose Sampling method. Data collection were devided into 2 clusters where the first cluster samples were choosen randomly from 600 plants (300 plants for lowland and 300 plants for middleland) for the disease incident percentage and second cluster samples were choosen randomly from first cluster, each field consisted of 30 plants (15 virus-symptomatic plants and 15 non-virus symptomatic plants) for the reduction of growth and yield percentage. PepYLCD incidence in lowland reached 100 % at 120 day after transplanting (DPT), whereas in middleland it occurred at 150 DPT. At 45 DPT virus-symptomatic plants at lowland encountered higher reduction percentage of growth than the middleland plants, including height of plant (43.6 %) and stem diameter (31.1 %). The yield of virus-symptomatic plants in lowlands encountered higher loss than the middleland plants, including the number of fruits per plant (53.6 %) and productivity (72.6 %). The reduction of growth and yield was also suspected to be the impact of temperature differences that the average and maximum temperatures of lowland (27.68 and 35.53 oC) was higher than the middleland (25.36 and 30.17 oC) during the experimental period. Our present study showed that the escalation of PepYLCD incidence was affected by environmental factors which reduced the growth and yield of chili plants.

Abscission of plant organs is a key process during plant life cycle and prerequisite factor involved in limiting the spread of disease, shedding of un-pollinated flowers and facilitates dispersal of seeds. In an agricultural context, abscission may become a major limiting factor for crop productivity. The organs abscise at a specific position called Abscission zone (AZ) and it is one of the prime traits to be manipulated during the crop improvement process towards the selection of reduced abscission lines. The tomato abscission polygalacturonase (TAPG) genes are abscission induced polygalacturonases and specifically induced in the AZ, which plays a major role in AZ separation. The current study had accentuated to identify the entire polygalacturonase gene families in tomato AZs, through AZ specific customized microarray. The results revealed that TAPG1, 2, 5, 7 and TPG6, PS2 genes were specifically induced and continuously overexpressed linearly along with abscission progression in tomato flower AZ. Similarly, the same set of genes were up-regulated upon abscission induction at the early hours (24 h) in the leaf AZ, indicating potential involvement in organ abscission. Our study provides new insights for the regulation of the early events in the process of tomato organ abscission and a novel trait for molecular breeding.

Jujube belongs to family Rhamnaceae and its fruit is rich in nutrients. Jujube tree is droughtand frost-tolerant and can be widely planted across the state of New Mexico. Recently, interest in jujube from consumers and growers is surging. The major challenge is a very limited availability of jujube saplings. The experiment was conducted in Portales, NM from 2017 to 2018 to study the effects of sucker height and diameter on jujube survival. Jujube suckers of four different sizes (height and diameter) were transplanted in the experimental field and replicated three times. Result showed that the most suitable size of jujube sucker for transplantation is 50-100 cm height with 0.36-0.75 cm diameter. This result could be useful for growers who plan to plant jujubes trees in the semi-arid regions like New Mexico. It is expected that jujubes could become a valuable alternative fruit crop in the United States.

Use of effective microorganisms as a pre-sowing seed treating agent is considered to be ecologically sound and beneficial to both seed and environment. Therefore to ensure the benefits, studies were conducted in tomato seeds with different liquid microbial cultures. The results revealed that the tomato seeds treated with liquid cultures viz., Azospirillum, phosphobacteria and Pink Pigmented Facultative Methylotroph (PPFM) have showed significant increase in germination and vigour. The seeds soaked in equal volume of Azospirillum @ 1:50 dilution for 24 h or phosphobacteria @ 1:50 dilution for 12 h or PPFM liquid culture @ 1:100 dilution for 18 h have registered the higher germination and vigour. Among these microbial cultures, PPFM has performed well in enhancing the seed germination and seedling vigour. Also, the viability and vigour of the inoculants infused seed were not much affected in three months storage. However, consortia of these microbial cultures showed antagonistic effect in seed germination and seedling vigour. In addition, the seeds infused with PPFM @1:100 dilution for 18 h followed by polymer coating @ 5 mL and carbendazim fungicide treatment @ 2 g kg-1 recorded significant improvement in seed germination and vigour with minimal reduction in the microbial population. Therefore, it would be possible to infuse the beneficial microbes into the seed through liquid cultures and also storing such seeds without much reduction in the microbial population. Therefore, it is beneficial if the seeds treated with the effective microorganisms which favour the better seed germination and seedling growth. Also, the microbes can easily be added into the soil along with the seed which may reflect on the better coloization of the microbes in plant root zone.

Okra is often considered useful in traditional medicine because it contains secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, terpenoids, and flavonoids and young fruits and leaves are rich in minerals and dietary fiber. The objective of this study was to assess the growth and quality of okra pods at different plant spacing and litter compost dosages. Results showed that plant height, crop growth rate, yield, pod weight and, fruit circumference increased with the increasing dose of N compost. The highest nitrate reductase activity was at 50 cm row spacing and 150 kg N ha-1 interaction. Chlorophyll content at 75 cm row spacing was higher than 50 cm row spacing. Chlorophyll content was higher at 150 kg N than 0 kg N ha-1, 50 and 100 kg N ha-1. Level of antioxidants decreased with the increase of N given both in row spacing of 50 cm and 75 cm.
秋葵通常被认为在传统医学中很有用，因为它含有次生代谢物，如生物碱、萜类化合物和类黄酮，而且年轻的果实和叶子富含矿物质和膳食纤维。本研究的目的是评价不同株距和凋落物堆肥用量下秋葵荚果的生长和品质。结果表明:随着施氮量的增加，玉米株高、作物生长速度、产量、荚果重和果实围度均呈增加趋势;硝酸还原酶活性在行距50 cm、N - ha-1互作150 kg时最高。行距75 cm的叶绿素含量高于行距50 cm的叶绿素含量。叶绿素含量在150 kg N下高于0、50和100 kg N ha-1。行距为50 cm和75 cm时，抗氧化剂水平随施氮量的增加而降低。

Berberis vulgaris has been indicated with various pharmacological properties such as antioxidant and antibacterial effects. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common infection in women within child bearing ages that creates gynecological problems, pelvic infection, urinary tract infection and malodorous discharge which could lead to infertility, premature birth and miscarriage in women. This study was conducted to compare the effect of metronidazole gel and B. vulgaris gel for the treatment and recurrence of BV. This doubleblind clinical trial was conducted on 80 women with BV who were referred to women’s clinic in Hajar Hospital (southwestern Iran) in 2016 with convenience sampling. The diagnosis criteria were Amsel’s criteria, gram staining and culture. The participants were divided in 2 groups. First group received metronidazole gel 0.75 % for 5 nights and the second received B. vulgaris gel 5 % for 5 nights vaginally. The symptoms were evaluated for 7 and 21day follow up. The descriptive and inferential statistics (chi square, t-test and ANOVA) were used to analyze the data using SPSS software. After 7 days of treatment, a significant difference was observed in terms of improving symptoms of irritation, dyspareunia and dysuria in both groups and this level was higher in the group taking B. vulgaris gel (P < 0.05). The results of a recurrence of symptoms after 21 days of intervention showed that the complete recovery of various symptoms was significantly higher in B. vulgaris gel than the metronidazole gel group (P=0.001). B. vulgaris gel was more effective than metronidazole gel in treating bacterial vaginosis and could be considered as a new therapeutic approach in BV treatment.

Shortage and inefficient use of resource in agricultural activities in Bangladesh are emphasizing to measure efficiency for increasing productivity with the highest efficiency and ensure the sustainable development of the agricultural sector. The motive of the study is to estimate technical efficiency by using stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) of brinjal and bottle gourd cultivation in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Tobit regression was applied to determine the elements affecting the efficiency and Cobb-Douglas production model was applied to pick out elements affecting the gross return of bottle gourd and brinjal. 100 (50 Brinjal +50 Bottle gourd) farmers were selected randomly as well as interviewed for collecting information through one set of questionnaires. The result revealed that bottle gourd and brinjal farmers were not perfectly efficient in Bangladesh. The mean efficiency of bottle gourd and brinjal observed 0.79 and 0.81, respectively. According to mean efficiency, farmers can be efficient in bottle gourd and brinjal farming through increasing 21 % and 19 % output, respectively with on-hand resources and technologies. Tobit model suggests that the education level of farmer, training program, choosing high yielding variety and the size of the farm have an effect on farmers’ efficiency positively and significantly. In addition, we observed that human labor cost, seed cost, irrigation cost, fertilizers cost, and pesticides and insecticides cost have a significant positive impact on bottle gourd and brinjal production. Key word: Technical efficiency, brinjal, bottle gourd, agriculture, farmer. Journal Appl Journal of Applied Horticulture ISSN: 0972-1045
