The purpose of this study was to observe the technology of mango fruit production at off-season used growth regulators. The research was conducted with three treatments namely: i) Paclobutrazol dosage (control, 5 mL L–1 per tree, 10 mL L–1 per tree and 15 L–1 per tree). ii) Ethephon dosages (0 mL L-1 per tree, 400 mL L–1 per tree, 600 mL L–1 per tree and 800 mL L–1 per tree) that applied 1 mo after paclobutrazol addition. iii) Paclobutrazol (P) and organic fertilizer (F) application in combination as follows: (control, 5 mL + 10 kg, 10 mL + 15 kg, 15 mL + 20 kg) Randomized Completely Block Designed (RCBD) with five replications was used. The results indicated that i) Paclobutrazol application accelerated the flowering age, shortens the panicle length, and increased fruit yield of the tree. ii) Giving Ethephon accelerated the flowering period, enhanced both the panicles number and yields. The treatment of ethephones 600 mL L–1 produced the highest fruit weight, 182.60 kg, respectively iii) The Paclobutrazol and organic fertilizer application indicated significantly (p < 0.05) to the panicles number and the fruit weight yield is higher than the control.

Summary. Water loss and premature ripening during postharvest handling reduce the market quality of mango fruit. Towards investigating the use of moisture barrier liners for mango fruit trays, relationships between in-package relative humidity and weight loss and ripening of ‘Kensington Pride’ fruit were studied. Individual fruit were held at 20°C in sealed plastic containers (small 1.2 L buckets). The lid of each container had a single circular hole. Holes were of various sizes, ranging from 5 to 135 mm diameter. Ripening mature green fruit held at the lowest relative humidity of 57% (135 mm diameter hole) lost weight at a significantly (P£0.05) greater rate (10 mg/g initial FW. day) than fruit at higher relative humidities of 59 (open air), 60 (95 mm diameter hole), 61 (55 mm diameter hole), 71 (35 mm diameter hole), 74 (25 mm diameter hole) and 83% (25 mm diameter hole plus free water). These fruit at higher relative humidities lost weight at rates ranging between 9 and 4 mg/g initial FW. day. Fruit softening and skin colouring rates were similar across all relative humidities. In a second experiment, mango fruit were allowed to ripen in containers with smaller holes, ranging from 5 to 95 mm diameter, in their lids. Fruit at the lowest relative humidity (60%, 95 mm diameter hole) lost weight at a significantly (P≤0.05) greater rate (9 mg/g initial FW. day) than fruit from other treatments. Furthermore, these fruit ripened about 2 days sooner than fruit at higher relative humidities: 85 (25 mm diameter hole), 88 (15 mm diameter hole), 91 (10 mm diameter hole) and 93% (5 mm diameter hole). Fruit at the higher relative humidities lost weight at rates between 6 and 2 mg/g initial FW. day, and ripened in 6 to 12 days. Thus, hole size can be varied in order to control in-package relative humidity and regulate mango fruit weight loss and ripening. Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 1997, 37, 463–7 463

Particle film technology is a developing pest control system for tree fruit production systems. Trials were performed in Santiago, Chile, and York Springs, Pa., Wenatchee and Yakima, Wash., and Kearneysville, W. Va., to evaluate the effect of particle treatments on apple [Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill. var. domestica (Borkh) Manst.] leaf physiology, fruit yield, and fruit quality. Leaf carbon assimilation was increased and canopy temperatures were reduced by particle treatments in seven of the eight trials. Yield and/or fruit weight was increased by the particle treatments in seven of the eight trials. In Santiago and Kearneysville, a* values of the fruit surface were more positive in all trials although a* values were not increased in Wenatchee and Yakima. Results indicate that particle film technology is an effective tool in reducing heat stress in apple trees that may result in increased yield potential and quality.

The aim of this paper was to study the influence of low vigor rootstocks on the 'Regina' cherry cultivar. The study was conducted at Research Institute for Fruit Growing Pitesti, Arges county, Romania between 2019 and 2021. A bifactorial experiment was set up, with A factor-the rootstock ('Gisela 3', 'Gisela 5', 'Gisela 12' and 'Weigi 2') and B factor-the study year (2019, 2020 and 2021). Fruiting and vegetative growth data (fruit production, the trunck cross-section area-TCSA, the annual increase of TCSA, the productivity index and the ratio between the fruit production and the annual increase of TCSA), as well as fruit quality data (fruit mass, firmness, pH, total soluble content, chromatic coordinates of epicarp color and chlorophyll fluorescence) were collected. 'Gisela 5' rootstock recorded the highest value of TCSA annual increase (11.46 kg/cm2) and had also the highest cromatic coordinates values: colour brightness (25.68), red pigment (15.61) and yellow content (4.12).The highest vigor of the cultivar 'Regina' was observed in 'Weigi 2' rootstock variant (with an TCSA value of 44.71 cm2), given that 'Weigi 2' TCSA annual increase was similar to 'Gisela 5'. 'Gisela 3' rootstock stood out for its fruit highest pH (3.97), fruit yield (13.51 t/ha), lowest vigor (TCSA=24.19 cm2), smallest annual TCSA increase (6.11 cm2), highest productivity index 0.219 kg/cm2) and highest fruit production to annual TCSA increase ratio (1.79 kg/cm2). Taking into account climatic accidents that marked the spring of 2021, on the average of the study years, the cultivar 'Regina' grafted on the rootstock 'Gisela 12' was distinguished by fruit weight (10.02 g), firmness (66.53 units HPE Bareiss) and TSS (16.03°Brix) on the background of the lowest fruit yield. A negative very signifficant correlation between fruit yield and fruit quality traits (weight, firmness and total soluble solids) was found.

The flowering induction in mango (Mangifera indica L.) orchards is an agricultural practice carried out on tropical regions to obtain fruits out-of-season looking to reach better sale prices. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of potassium (PN), ammonium nitrate (AN) and paclobutrazol (PBZ) on flowering induction and fruit production in mango cv. Tommy Atkins. The experiment included fourteen treatments with 2, 4, and 6 % PN, and 2, 3 and 4 % AN applied in combination with PBZ (1 g of a.i. m-1 of canopy diameter), paclobutrazol alone (1 g of a.i. m-1 of canopy diameter), and a control (water), which were arranged in a completely randomized design with three replicates. Results show that floral induction and fruit production were improved: PBZ followed by foliar application PN 2 %, 4 % or 6 % induced flowering 16 days after treatments. Likewise, the major number of emerged panicles were obtained with PBZ + PN 6 %. An increase on fruit weight and size reduction was observed at harvest. PBZ followed by foliar application of nitrates induced flowering and enhanced the number developed panicles in mango cv. Tommy Atkins.RESUMENLa inducción floral en mango (Mangifera indica L.) es una práctica agrícola común en regiones tropicales, tendiente a obtener frutos fuera de temporada para lograr mejores precios de la cosecha. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo evaluar el efecto de tratamientos de nitrato de potasio (PN), nitrato de amonio (AN) y paclobutrazol (PBZ) sobre la inducción floral y producción de fruto en mango cv. Tommy Atkins. Los tratamientos con PN al 2, 4, y 6 % y AN al 2, 3 y 4 % fueron aplicados solos o combinados con PBZ (1 g de i.a. m-1 de diámetro de copa), PBZ solo y un testigo (agua) bajo un diseño completamente al azar, con tres repeticiones. Se midieron variables de inducción floral y producción de fruto. Los resultados muestran que aplicación foliar de PBZ seguida de PN (2 %), (4 %) o (6 %) indujeron floración 16 días después del tratamiento. El mayor número de panículas emergidas se obtuvieron con PBZ + PN 6 %. Se observó una reducción de peso y tamaño de fruto a la cosecha. El PBZ seguido de aplicaciones foliares con NP y AN induce floración y aumenta el número de panículas desarrolladas en mango cv. Tommy Atkins.

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.

Background: The temperature being the most important environmental factor that influences the deterioration of perishable commodities. It is often critical that fresh produce rapidly reach the optimal pulp temperature for short term storage if it is to maintain its highest visual quality, flavour, texture and nutritional content (Kader, 2013). Aims: The effects of storage temperature and hot water at various temperature and duration on chemical and textural characteristics of the Keitt mango fruit were evaluated for the 2015/16 growing season in Botswana. Materials and Methods: The treatments were fruits dipped in distilled water at room temperature (25±2ºC- control), fruits dipped in hot water at 50 and 55ºC for a duration of 3, 5 and 10 minutes, and storage temperatures at 4, 7, 10, 13, or 25±2ºC, plus 95% RH. Results: The results showed that as the storage temperature and water temperature decreased, the proline content and electrolyte leakage increased significantly (P ≤ 0.0001). The interactions of storage temperature and hot water temperature, and duration in which mango fruit was treated with hot water, significantly (P ≤ 0.01) maintained vitamin C content, firmness and reduced fruit weight loss during storage and seven days after storage when the fruit was kept at room temperature. Conclusion: Chemical and physical attributes of Keitt mango fruits were significantly improved by the interactions between storage temperature, hot water temperature and duration.
