This manuscript reports that for tulip bulbs ( Tulipa gesneriana L. 'Apeldoorn'), simultaneous application of methyl jasmonate (JA-Me) with gibberellic acid (GA) increases gum formation in the bulbs, compared to JA-Me applied alone. After the dry scales of the bulbs were removed, the bulbs were treated with JA-Me and GA starting from the beginning of July 20 until November 30. Treated bulbs were stored...
Suitability of nine scab-resistant or partially scab-resistant apple cultivars: Bohemia, Rubinola, Topaz, Goldstar, Pinova, Redkroft, Free Redstar, Melfree and Gold Milenium for organic orchards was evaluated during the period 2002-2010. The trial consisted of two experimental plots. In the first plot, no plant protection chemicals were applied either to the trees or to the soil. In the second plot,...
Flower development of Ranunculus asiaticus L. growing in the University Botanic Garden was divided into six stages (I - VI): tight bud stage (I), loose bud stage (II), half open stage (III), open flower stage (IV), partially senescent stage (V) and senescent stage (VI). The average life span of an individual flower after it is fully open is about 5 days. Membrane permeability of sepal tissues estimated...
This experimental study was conducted at the Fruit Research Institute, Cacak, Serbia, to determine bud break and callus formation dates, the degree of callus formation, grafting success on day 20 after grafting and overall grafting success on day 28 after grafting in walnut (Juglans regia L.) under different treatments and bench grafting conditions in cultivar Seinovo (control) and the selections...
Yellow latex is the main problem in the mangosteen agribusiness because it is a factor that lowers fruit quality. The objective of this research was to study the effect of fruit spray using various forms of calcium namely CaCl2, Ca(OH)2, and Ca(NO3)2 on the incidence of yellow latex spots, and the physical and chemical properties of a "Leuwiliang subdistrict" mangosteen population. Application...
There is inadequate information on the application of rootstocks in the propagation of pomegranate. The aim of this research was to study propagation of pomegranate using the stenting method. The experiment was conducted on the basis of a completely randomised design (CRD) with two factors: rootstock (Rj, R2 and R3) and the concentration of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) (0 and 500 mg/l), in three...
Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is a highly popular tropical fruit. One of the factors causing the low production of mango is fruit drop. Many factors cause fruit drop, one of them being a phytohormonal imbalance. The objective of this research was to compare the content of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 1-amino cyclopropane-1- carboxylic acid (ACC), and carbohydrate between persistent and pre-abscission...
In the present work, 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA) was applied to uncooled tulip bulbs, cultivars Apeldoorn and Gudoshnik, before flower bud formation, at the beginning of July and after flower bud formation, in October and November. Shoot growth and flowering of partially dry-cooled bulbs were substantially stimulated. These results strongly suggest that TIBA partially replaces the cold requirement...
Wilt disease, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Cubense (Foc), is one of the most important diseases of bananas. An Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy is a promising concept for controlling this disease. This concept must be supported with all suitable control techniques that can be compatibly and effectively utilized. Essential oils, which have been long recognized as having good fungus-toxic...
The influence of sucrose (5, 10, 20, 30 g l-1), nitrogen salts - KNO3, NH4NO3 (25%, 50%, 100% in relation to the MS medium) and temperature (15 °C, 20 °C) on the growth of the main shoot and the activation and development of axillary buds in Syringa vulgaris in vitro was investigated. Different ratios of sucrose/nitrogen salts in the MS medium had a limited effect on the length of the main shoot of...
Sour cherry trees cultivars Debreceni Botermo, Nefris, English Morello and local Sokówka Serocka were densely planted at4x1.4x1.5 and 4 x 2 m, and the leader trained for mechanical harvesting with a self-propelled straddle harvester working in continuous motion. From the 3rd year onward the trees were renewal-pruned. Branches older than 3 years were cut back and replaced by young wood. All the cultivars...
In Poland in the year 2010, 518 527 hectares of agricultural land were managed organically. This study attempts to estimate the total non-monetary value of Polish organic production as a sum of its non-monetary external benefits and the external costs which were offset by the transition from conventional to organic production. The external costs of Polish conventional agriculture were also calculated...
Development of embryogenic cultures having high regeneration efficiency from important, commercial varieties of banana is a prerequisite for genetic manipulation and for in vitro propagation. In the present study, we have studied the induction of somatic embryogenesis from young immature male inflorescences of the banana cultivar Lal Kela (red banana) on M2 medium (Ma et al., 1991) supplemented with...
In the field experiment, 5-year-old 'Morden 604' and 'Miodowa' apricot trees grafted on the seedling rootstocks Wangenheim Prune and Erunosid (both P. domestica L.), as well as Polish selection apricot (P. armeniaca L.) genotypes A4 and M46 were compared with trees of the same cultivars on the standard P. divaricata rootstock. Vigour in apricot trees was affected by rootstock type. Trees of both...
There is inadequate information in the case of rootstock application in pomegranate. In this study, propagation of pomegranate was investigated using bench grafting. The experiment was conducted as factorial in the framework of CRD design with three replications. The rootstocks were Rb R2 and R3 and the scions included 'Gorj-e- Dadashi' (Si) and 'Gorj-e-Shahvar' (S2). At the end of experiment, successful...
