Bbell pepper (Capsicum annum L.) production is an appropriate alternative for the northeastern Sonora, México (Magdalena River). Because of the fresh temperature conditions of this region, production is possible in spring and summer. However, it is necessary to have appropriate varieties with a high potential for quality and yield under these conditions. The objective of this research was to evaluate the yield and quality of six varieties of bell pepper. The evaluation was carried out at the INIFAP-CIRNO Experimental Station (Magdalena of Kino, Sonora) in Spring 2002 under field conditions. The evaluated varieties were: `Baron', X3R Wisar, PS 236894, `Bamoa', `Admiral', and `Navolato'. The date of seedling transplant was 29 Mar. in furrows with 1 m of separation and 0.33 m between plants under a drip-irrigation system. In the trials, we used a completely randomized design with four replications. The measured variables were yield and fruit weight. The harvest period was 26 June to 23 Aug. The results indicated that the highest yields were obtained from: `Baron', X3R Wisard, and PS 236894 with 43.2, 42.3, and 38.8 t·ha-1, respectively, and the lowest yields obtained were from `Admiral' and `Navolato', with 33.3 and 30.0 t·ha-1, respectively. The highest fruit weights corresponded to PS 236894 and X3R Wisard with 145 and 140 g, respectively.

In the north of Sonora, Mexico, it is possible to obtain high yields and quality in “saladette”-type tomato production in two cycles, spring and summer. However, seed varieties adapted to the temperature conditions of these seasons that have a high potential for quality and yield are needed. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate 14 varieties of “saladette”-type tomato (indeterminate). The evaluation was carried out in the INIFAP-CIRNO Experimental Station (Magdalena of Kino, Sonora) in Spring–Summer 2002 under field conditions, in furrows 2 m apart and three plants per linear meter (15,150 plants/ha). The date of seedling transplant was 29 May under a drip-irritation system. In the trials, we used a completely randomized design with two replications. We measured the yield, fruit weight, and shape. The harvest period was from 20 Aug. to 30 Nov. The results indicated that the highest yields were obtained from SSC-1020, `Brigade', `Azteca', `Purepecha', and `Yaqui' with 77.7, 74.8, 73.3, 71.8, and 69.7 t·ha-1, respectively. The lowest yields corresponded to `Rio Grande', `Silvestre', and `Fierce Rio' with 51.5, 50.4, and 36.9 t·ha-1, respectively. The highest fruit weights were from `Purepecha', SSC-1020, and `Yaqui' with 109, 108, and 102 g, respectively. The fruit shape was oval-square in all varieties.

The objective of this research was to examine the effect of giving Rice MOL and superior plant hormone on growth and yield of Chilli.  The experiment was arranged using the completely randomized design with two factors. The first factor was rice MOL (M), namely M0 (without rice MOL), M1 (50 cc/l water), M2 (100 cc/l water), and M3 (150 cc/l water).The second factor was application of superior plant hormone (H), consisting of four factor, namely H0 (without hormone), H1(1 cc/l water), H2 (2 cc/l water), and H3 (3 cc/l water). The parameters observed were plant height, flowering age, the first harvest age, fruit weight per plant, fruit weight per plot, and number of remaining fruit. Data were analyzed using statistical technique and continuing test of BNJ at 5% confident level. The results showed that the interaction of giving rice MOL and hormone had a significant effect on flowering age and harvest age with the best treatment M2H2 with 56.67 days and M2H2 with 112.67 days, respectively.  The rice MOL alone gave a significant effect on flowering age, the first harvest age, econmic fruit weight per plant, and  economic fruit weight per plot with the best treatment was M2. The superior plant hormone alone affected significantly plant height, flowering age, the first harvested age, economic fruit weight per plant, economic fruit weight per plot, and number of remaining uneconomic fruit per plant with the best treatment of H2.

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of 0.05% KCl on yield and quality of two peanut varieties L12 and L18 grown in Thanh Hoa province. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design with two factors (varieties and chemicals). After careful selection, L12 and L18 seeds were divided into two parts. Part 1 was treated with distilled water as control and part 2 was treated with 0.05% KCl. The results showed that pre-sowing seed treatment with 0.05% KCl increased the yield components and yield of both L12 and L18 when compared to the control, in which the yield of L18 in both treatments reached 37.37 quintals/ha and 39.54 quintals/ha and was higher than that of the L12 variety at 35.77 quintals/ha and 36.40 quintals/ha. Pre-sowing seed treatment with 0.05% KCl also increased the quality of peanuts such as starch content, reducing sugar, lipid, saponification value, protein, B vitamins, total amino acids and content of some mineral elements in peanuts such as N, K, Ca, Mg. Briefly, the results of this study indicated that pre-sowing seed with KCl increased the yield and quality of peanuts.

A field trial was conducted during 2015 and 2016, to study the effect ofgrowth regulators on growth, flowering, yield and fruit quality of strawberry cv. Chandler. The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design with 16 treatments viz.CPPU at 1, 2 and 4 ppm, GA3 at 25, 50 and 75 ppm, Promalin at 2, 4 and 6 ppm, GA4+7 at 5, 10 and15 ppm, NAA at 10, 20 and 30 ppm and control (water spray) and each treatment was replicated thrice. The results revealed that the plants sprayed with 15 ppm GA4+7 two weeks before flowering significantly reported highest plant height (33.43 cm), leaf area (239.70 cm2), number of flowers (31.94), fruit set (87.45 %), number of fruits per plant (29.02), yield (540.01 g/plant), fruit length (53.63 mm) and fruit diameter (37.19 mm) and fruit weight (23.70 g) as compared to control. This treatment resulted in 196.36 % increase in yield and 56.22 %in fruit weight over control. Plants sprayed with 6 ppm promalin also showed significant improvement in vegetative growth, fruit size, yield and fruit quality, which resulted in 137.92 % increase in yield and 51.81 % increase in fruit weight over control. Hence, it is concluded that foliar spray of 15 ppm GA4+7 applied 2 weeks before flowering is beneficial in improving growth, yield and fruit quality of strawberry plants.

The onion bulb production In Mexico is about 39,000 ha annually. Yield is variable according to the technological capacity and economic condition of the grower. However, The technology adoption (new varieties, efficient irrigation system and establishment methods) is increased during the last years. Traditionally in Mexico the grower use the manual transplant of seedling, that which increases the cost and time of this labor. The objective of the present Experiment was to evaluate Two establishment methods (direct seed and transplant seedling) and the effect on 24 bulb varieties. The evaluation was carried out in INIFAP-CIRNO Experimental Station in furrows with 1.00 m of separation among them, with double row of plants, the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus used were 180 and 80 kg·ha-1 respectively, we used the drip irrigation system. In this experiment we observed that the system of direct seed obtained better yield (18%), bulb weight (21%) and precocity (11 days) in comparing to the transplant methods, however in the first treatment the floral stem emission was greater (6.7% vs 1.1%) of the transplant methods. The white varieties with high yield were: White onion 214 and Cal 128 with 71.4 and 65.7 ton/ha. The purple varieties was F1 Cal 192 with 68.3 t·ha-1 and the yellow varieties was Ringer Cal 160 with 63.2 t·ha-1.

A 2-year study was conducted in eastern Oregon to evaluate the effects of hooped spunbonded polypropylene rowcovers and Ca fertilization on yield and quality of drip-irrigated bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L. Grossum group) grown on black plastic mulch. The experiment was a complete factorial with four replications of two cultivars, covered and uncovered plots, and three levels of supplemental Ca fertilization at 0, 34, and 68 kg·ha-1 applied through the drip irrigation system as Ca(NO3)2. Rowcovers increased marketable yields both at the first harvest and over the season. Blossom-end rot and sunscald were reduced substantially by rowcovers; the effect was greatest during the earlier harvests. First-harvest and season total yield of fancy grade peppers increased linearly as rate of supplemental Ca increased, as did total marketable yield at the first harvest. Both yield of fruit with blossom-end rot and the percentage of fruit with blossom-end rot at the first harvest decreased as Ca rate increased. Yield of fruit affected by sunscald decreased linearly as supplemental Ca rate increased at the first harvest; overall, yield of sunscalded fruit was reduced by application of Ca at either rate.

ABSTRACT Potassium (K) influences the variables that determine quality of fruit and the concentration of phytonutrients to human health and therefore consumer preferences. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of K in the nutrient solution (5, 7, 9 and 11 mM of K) on yield and quality of Cantaloupe fruits under greenhouse conditions. The experiment was conducted in pots using a completely randomized design with 15 replications. Analysis of variance, correlation, regression and multiple comparisons among means (Tukey p<0.05) were performed. Results showed higher values of yield, average fruit weight, equatorial diameter, pulp thickness, fruit firmness, soluble solids content, phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of fruits at the concentrations of 9 and 11 mM of K. All variables, except equatorial diameter, increased their values as K concentrations increased, showing a lineal, positive and significant trend, which evidences that the optimal dose of K in muskmelon is higher than 11 mM, being suggested for future research, to evaluate concentrations above this value.
