The experiment was conducted during the fruiting season of 2005-06 to  investigate the effects of paclobutrazol in manipulating the harvesting time,  increasing yield and quality in mango (Mangifera indica) cv. BARI Aam-3  (Amrapali) plants at the BAU Germplasm Centre, FTIP, Department of  Horticulture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. Paclobutrazol  at 2500, 5000, 7500, 10000 ppm, and control (water application) and two times  of application (15 October and 15 December) were included in the study as  treatments. Soil drench application of paclobutrazol at 10000 ppm and 7500  ppm on 15 October was more effective in suppressing vegetative growth i.e.  terminal shoot length, number of leaves and leaf area compared to control. Both  7500 ppm and 10000 ppm paclobutrazol applied as soil drench on 15 October  caused earlier panicle emergence by 19 days as well as harvesting by 15 days  compared with control. Applying paclobutrazol at 7500 ppm on 15 October  produced the highest number of fruits as well as yield per plant and the heaviest  fruit compared with the lowest yield in control. Paclobutrazol at 7500 ppm  applied on 15 October also resulted in higher edible portion, lower stone pulp  ratio and peel pulp ratio, longer shelf life, higher TSS, increased vitamin C,  lower titratable acidity, higher dry matter, reducing, non-reducing and total  sugar contents as compared to control plants. The present results suggest that the  application of paclobutrazol at 7500 ppm in October enhances yield and quality  in mango. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjar.v37i2.11238 Bangladesh J. Agril.

The experiment to determine the effects of KNO3 and urea in manipulating the harvesting time and increasing yield as well as quality of nine years old mango (Mangifera indica L.) cv. Amrapali plants was carried out at the BAU Germplasm Centre, Department of Horticulture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from September 2006 to July 2007. The five treatments included in the experiment were potassium nitrate at 4%, 6% and 8%; urea at 2% and 4% and the control (water spray). Foliar spraying of urea at 4% exhibited better performance in relation to terminal shoot length, number of leaves and leaf area and potassium nitrate at 4% gave superior results with respect to length and breadth of panicle and number of secondary branches per panicle compared to control. The plants sprayed with KNO3 at 4% expressed earlier panicle appearance by 17 days as compared to delayed appearance of panicle in untreated control plants. The plants received KNO3 at 4% produced the highest number of panicles per plant (220.67) whereas the control plants had the least number of panicles (107.67). Regardless of concentration, KNO3 and urea manifested slightly earlier harvest (5 days) compared to control. Plants treated with KNO3 at 4% noted the highest number of fruits per plant (136.67) compared to control (62.67). The treatment urea at 4% resulted in the biggest fruit (202.83g) and the control plants exhibited the smallest fruit (175.00g). Potassium nitrate at 4% gave maximum yield (23.14 kg/plant) as compared to minimum yield (9.12 kg/plant) in the control (water spray). Bangladesh J. Agril.

The experiment was carried out at the Germplasm Centre of Bangladesh   Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the fruiting season of 2005-06 to   investigate the effects of fertilizer and its installment of application on   harvesting time, yield and quality of fruits of 8 years old mango plant cv. Amrapali. Four fertilizer doses i.e. T1 : 50% of the fertilizer dose (cowdung 12.5 kg, urea 375 g, TSP200g, MoP125 g, gypsum 125 g and zinc sulphate 7.5 g per plant), T2 : 100% of the fertilizer dose (cowdung 25 kg, urea 750 g, TSP400 g, MoP 250 g, gypsum  250 g and zinc sulphate 15 g per plant), T3 : 150% of the fertilizer dose (cowdung  37.5 kg, urea 1125 g, TSP 600 g, MoP 375 g, gypsum 375 g and zinc sulphate 22.5 g per plant), and T4 : control (no fertilizer) and three splits of application i.e. A1 : One installment (whole fertilizer applied on 15 September), A2 : Two installments (15 September and 15 March) and A3 : Three installments (15 September, 15 March and 15 May) were included as treatments. Plants receiving 150% of the fertilizer dose in three installments caused delayed harvest by 11 days compared  to control than that of the control. Plants treated with 150% of fertilizer dose in combination with three installments produced the highest number of fruits (96/ plant) as well as the highest yield (19.55 kg/plant) as compared to control (23/   plant and 3.48 kg/plant). Applying fertilizer at 150% of the fertilizer dose in  three installments improved the fruit quality with regard to TSS, pH, titratable acidity, vitamin C, moisture content, dry matter content, reducing sugar, non reducing sugar and total sugar content over control. Thus, this treatment may be recommended for fertilizer management in mango cultivation. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjar.v37i2.11231 Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 37(2): 279-293, June 2012

A study on the effect of paclobutrazol on vegetative growth, harvest time, yield and quality of mango cv. BARI Mango-3 (Amrapali) was conducted at the Germplasm Centre, Department of Horticulture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. Paclobutrazol @ 7500 ppm, 10000 ppm and control (water application) along with two application times; 15 July and 15 October were used with three replications following RCBD design. Paclobutrazol soil drenched @ 7500 ppm or 10000 ppm on 15 July distinctly advanced panicle emergence and fruit harvest by 23 and 22 days, respectively. Application of paclobutrazol @ 7500 ppm on 15 July produced the highest number of fruits (185) as well as yield (55.05 kg) per plant and the biggest fruit (303.67 g). Paclobutrazol @ 7500 ppm applied on 15 July or 15 October also resulted in higher edible portion, lower stone pulp ratio, longer shelf life, higher TSS, increased vitamin C, lower titratable acidity, higher dry matter, reducing, non-reducing and total sugar contents.Bangladesh J.

Mango (Mangifera indica L.), the sixth most important fruit crop worldwide, is likely at risk under a climate change scenario of accelerated soil organic matter mineralization and constrained plant nutrient supplies such as zinc (Zn) and boron (B). We identified the optimum nutrient formulation and application method to possibly rectify nutrient deficits in mango plants grown in one of the warmest and driest regions—Multan, Pakistan. We evaluated the yield and physiological (quality) responses of 20-year-old mango trees to seven treatments of foliar and soil applications of Zn and B. Combined soil application of B and Zn resulted in optimum increases in leaf mineral B and Zn and fruit-set, retention, yield, pulp recovery and total soluble solids at ripening (p = 0.021), while reducing titratable acidity and early fruit shedding (p = 0.034). Additionally, this treatment improved fruit quality (taste, flavour, texture, aroma, acceptability; p ≤ 0.05). Yield was found to be correlated with retention percentage (P ≤ 0.001; R2 = 0.91), which was in turn related to fruit-set number panicle−1 (P = 0.039; R2 = 0.61). Therefore, we suggest that combined soil application of B and Zn mitigates leaf mineral deficiencies and improves the yield and quality of mango more efficiently than other individual or combined foliar or soil treatments used in this study.

An experiment was carried out at the BAU Germplasm Centre, Department of Horticulture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to investigate the effect of irrigation on harvesting time, yield and quality attributes of mango cv. BARI Aam -3 (Amrapali) during the period from September 2005 to July 2006. There were seven treatments in the experiment viz., Irrigation at 15th October, Irrigation at 15 October and 15 November, Irrigation at 15th of each month starting from October and continued up to December, Irrigation at 15th of each month starting from October and continued up to January, Irrigation at 15th of each month starting from October and continued up to February, Irrigation at 15th of each month starting from October and continued up to March and Control (no irrigation). The plants those were irrigated twice on 15 October and 15 November exhibited the highest number of panicles per plant (137.33) compared to the lowest number of panicles per plant (9.00) in the treatment where irrigation was given at 15th of each month starting from October and continued up to March. Two irrigations at 15 October and 15 November produced the highest number of fruits per plant (61.67) and irrigation applied on 15th of each month starting from October and continued up to December produced the lowest number of (11.00) fruits. Maximum yield (12.50 kg/plant) was recorded from the plants which were irrigated twice on 15 October and 15 November as compared to minimum yield (2.15 kg/plant) in plants irrigated on 15th of each month starting from October and continued up to December. Irrigation applied on 15th of each month starting from October to March resulted in the longest shelf life (7.28 days) as compared to control (5.63 days). Bangladesh J. Agril.

Yield And Quality

The strawberry cultivation is an important economic activity in the Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, however the number of offered cultivars to the growers is reduced. The yield and quality of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) cultivars Camarosa, Galexia, Earlibrite, Festival, Plarionfre and Sabrosa was evaluated under the climatic conditions of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul State. We determined the number, mass, total soluble solids (TSS ºBrix), total titratable acidity (TTA), antocianin level and fresh fruits produced in an experimental unit. We also determined the production of fruits per hectare and per plant. The statistical design used in the experiment was of completely randomized blocks with 6 treatments (cultivars) and 4 replicates where the experimental unit was composed of 8 plants. The harvest began in the first half of August, extending to the second half of December, totalling 20 weeks. Plarionfre, Earlibrite and Festival cultivars showed higher production from the first half of October until the end of the first half of November. Camarosa reached higher productivity, mass of plants and fruit weight. There were no differences between the evaluated cultivars in the levels of TSS, antocianin, ATT and pH during the period of evaluation.

Two trials in different agricultural farms were carried out from October 2014 to June 2015 with the aim to assess the advantages linked to the substitution of the low density polyethylene (LDPE) films for soil mulching with the Mater-Bi<sup>®</sup> biodegradable films in the strawberry cultivation under tunnel in Campania. Lifetime of biodegradable mulch and influence of type of mulch on the yield and the quality of cvs Sabrina and Fortuna were evaluated. Plants were cultivated on mulched, raised beds, high 40 cm from bottom soil. Mater-Bi<sup>®</sup> film was 20 <span>µ</span>m thick while LDPE film was 50 mm thick. The physical-chemical parameters (firmness, pH, total soluble solid content, titratable acidity and skin colour) and some bioactive compounds (total polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, antioxidant activity) of fruits were determined by three samplings effected in consecutive months (from March to May 2015) of the harvest cycle. Biodegradable film guaranteed an effective mulch along the whole strawberry cycle (9-10 months including the time of drawing up of film). Yields of cv Sabrina on LDPE was 18% higher than those on Mater-Bi<sup>®</sup> while the opposite was detected in cv Fortuna (+10%). The physical-chemical parameters of fruits were not modified by the mulches. The content of the bioactive compounds, instead, resulted, in each time of sampling, significantly higher in fruits picked on Mater-Bi<sup>®</sup> based film.

Five strawberry genotypes ('Rabi 3', 'Camarosa', 'BARI Strawberry 1', 'BADC Strawberry' and 'Festival') were evaluated for their field performance. The maximum number of leaves/plant (14.2), canopy spread (31.82 cm) and runners/plant (7.2) were found with 'Camarosa', 'Festival' and 'Rabi 3' respectively. Festival took the lowest number of days to flower initiation (32.5). The highest number of flowers (23.64) and fruits/plant (19.98) were found in 'Camarosa'. The heaviest (21.83 g) and the largest sized individual fruit (1539.31 mm2) were produced by 'Festival'. Fruit TSS (%) was the highest (15.83) in BARI Strawberry 1. Genotype 'Festival' gave the highest fruit yield (12.94 t/ha) and 'BADC Strawberry' yielded the lowest (6.15 t/ha). Considering growth, yield and quality of fruit, genotypes 'Festival' and 'Camarosa' were found promising under the climatic condition of Salna.Bangladesh J. Agril.
