A field experiment was conducted from September 2010 to July 2011 at Research Station Farm of Higher Institute of Agronomy, Chott Mariem, Sousse (Tunisia) in order to evaluate the performance of seven onion varieties: ‘GIZA 6’, ‘Red Amposta’, ‘Z6’, ‘Morada de Amposta’, ‘Yellow Dessex’, ‘Early Yellow Texas Grano 502’ and ‘Keep Red’ against the commonly grown variety ‘Blanc Hâtif de Paris’ under field conditions. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Results obtained showed that onion varieties were significantly different when it comes to the plant and bulb morphological characteristics. Variety ‘Morada de Amposta’ recorded the highest leaf length (68.06 cm), pseudostem diameter (8.63 cm), number of leaves (8.71), plant height (76.95 cm),  in addition to the greatest yields (32.88 t/ha) which were significantly (p≤0.05) increased by respectively 66.2,  88.8,  2.1,  61.2, 63, 27.9  and 28.4%  compared to those obtained from the regular variety ‘Blanc Hâtif de Paris’. Variety ‘Blanc Hâtif de Paris’ was the earliest to maturity and recorded the most preferment bulb weight (155.02 g) and diameter (8.21 cm). ‘Keep Red’ variety had the highest height of the bulb (7.19 cm). Variety ‘Z6’ recorded the minimum data in all measured parameters.

In order to evaluate a number of agro-morphological characteristics in 10 melon population, an experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was carried out in two years (2017-2018) at high tunnel condition at Zahak Agriculture Research Station. The relationships among the related traits evaluated using by statistical methods. The combined analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among landraces in evaluated traits. A highly and significant correlation was observed between fruit width and yield (0.81**). Mean comparison using Duncan?s multiple rang test revealed that maximum yield belonged to landrace Zardeivanaki with 29160 kg/ha. Factor analysis was used for understanding the data structure and trait relations. The factor analysis showed that five factors explained 84% of the total variation among the traits. Therefore, the selection may be done according to the first component and it was helpful for a good breeding program for development of high yielding genotypes also landraces Dargazi, Zardeivanaki and Sabzsooski were placed very closely indicating that the responses of these landraces to be similar to high tunnel cultivation condition.

A field experiment was conducted to find out the suitable combination of relay intercropping of different gourds with brinjal for higher productivity and economic return at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Jamalpur during rabi and kharif 2017-2018 and 2018-2019. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications and seven treatments. The treatments were T1= Sole brinjal, T2= Brinjal + relay sweet gourd, T3= Brinjal + relay ridge gourd, T4= Brinjal + relay bitter gourd, T5= Brinjal+ relay sponge gourd, T6= Brinjal + relay snake gourd, T7= Brinjal + relay ash gourd. Highest brinjal yield was observed in relaying snake gourd and sweet gourd combination (Y1 and Y2) which was statistically similar to sole brinjal and brinjal + relay ash gourd combination.

The excessive use of agrochemicals in agriculture has been causing irreversible environmental impacts, from this point of view, organic farming appears as an economically viable alternative to minimize these impacts. So, the objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different types organic fertilizers in the development and production of coriander harvested at different epochs. The experiment was conducted during the period from August to October 2016, in an area of the experimental farm of University of International Integration of Afro-Brazilian Lusophony. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design, in a 5 × 4 factorial scheme, consisting of five organic fertilizers and four harvesting epochs (28, 35, 42 and 49 days after planting-DAP) and five blocks. The variables stem diameter, plant height, root size, number of leaves, leaf length and productivity were evaluated. All the analyzed variables responded significantly by the F test, either for the qualitative factor, fertilizer sources, or the quantitative, epochs of evaluation. Regarding the cultivation epochs, when the first evaluation period (28 DAP) was compared with the last (49 DAP), it was verified that the variables presented linear responses over time, with increases of 34.4% for height , 29.5% for stem diameter, 37.07% for root length and 64.44% for production. In relation to the fertilizer sources, in general, the cattle manure provided a greater growth and production of the coriander plants, being therefore the most suitable for the cultivation.

The present experiment was carried out at one field of the research station (B) belongs to Horticulture Department/College of Agriculture/ Baghdad University during the summer season of 2017 in order to study the effect of the inoculation with the mycorrhizae and spray with FeSO4 and Anti-Transpirant (Armurox) on some growth characters and yield of okra Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench. The experiment was lay out as a factorial experiment (2x3x2) in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The total number of treatments was twelve. The three factors of the experiment included; the inoculation with mycorrhizae (M) (0 and 10 g. plant-1), spray with FeSO4 (F) (0, 0.5, and 1g.L-1), and the Anti-Transpirant ‘Armurox’ (A) (0 and 5 ml.L-1). The results showed that the three factors and their interactions had significant effects on most of the growth characters measured. The inoculation with the mycorrhizae was superior in giving higher values of plant height, number of branches and total number of leaves per plant; 139.97 cm, 15.00 branch. plant-1 and 165.85 leaf. plant-1, respectively. The M1F0A0 combination treatment recorded the highest number of branches per plant (16.50) while the M1F2A1 treatment recorded the highest values of plant height (145.66 cm), total leaves number (170.33 leaf. plant-1), leaf area (731.36 dcm-2. plant-1), number of pods (19.20 pod. plant-1), and plant yield (809.40 g. plant-1).

Cultivation of okra in Ghana is challenged by low yield due to lack of improved varieties. Gamma irradiated okra seeds can generate genetic variability to improve the crop. Samples of 150 seeds, each of okra genotype, UCCC6, were irradiated with 400 Gy to 1000 Gy using cobalt 60 source at a dose rate exposure of 121.58 Gy/hr. There were 40 stands comprising single plant per stand in three replications per treatment in a randomized complete block design outlay. Seedling survival, plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, number of branches, leaf length and width, days to 50% flowering, number of fruits, length and weight of fruit, number of seeds, and 100-seed weight decreased significantly (P≤0.05) with increasing doses of gamma rays. Seedling survival was highest (88%) at 400 Gy, followed by control (81%). However, 600 Gy, 800 Gy, and 1000 Gy had 61%, 41%, and 17% seedling survival, respectively, with LD50 at 720 Gy. Significant (P≤0.05) correlations existed between growth and yield components. Optimum growth and yield in okra were induced by 400 Gy but the higher doses had growth retardation effects and the induced variability can be assessed at M2 generation.

Five commercial (Any sesion, Tikimashi, Mino Early, Forty Days and Chetki) and a local (Bhedetar Local) varieties of radish were tested at the Agricultural Research Station (ARS), Pakhribas, Dhankuta, during the autumn season of 2008 and 2009 for their performance at different levels of manures and fertilizers. Two trials, varietal and fertilizer were conducted in randomized complete block design with four replications. The highest root yield (65.1 t ha-1) was obtained from Mino Early which was at par with Bhedetar Local (62.85t ha-1) in varietal trial. In fertilizer trial, the highest mean root yield of Bhedetar Local was obtained from 100:80:40 N2:P2O5:K2O kg ha-1 + FYM 20 t ha-1 which was at par with 75:50:50 N2:P2O5:K2O kg ha-1 + FYM 20 t ha-1, however, differed statistically with other treatments. The root yield obtained from the exiting farmers practice was statistically at par with 75:50:50 N2:P2O5:K2O kg ha-1. Root yield (t ha-1) was positively and significantly (≥0.01) correlated with root length, plant height, root diameter and number of leaves per plant.
