A total of 25 indigenous lines collected from different agroclimatic zones of Jharkhand were evaluated at Ranchi during rabi season of 2018-19 in randomized block design with three replications. The aim of present study was to assess the extent of genetic variation and identify most promising germplasm for improvement programme. Seventeen quantitative and forty qualitative characters were analysed as per DUS guidelines. Significant differences were recorded in most of the characters. The genotype RKML-11 exhibited highest number of primary branches (6.67) and produced maximum yield (38.54 t ha-1). Maximum fruit weight was recorded in RKML-28 (262.8 g). RKML-35 showed maximum value of fruit diameter (33.9 cm) but had minimum number of fruits per plant (6.7). However, RKML-21 showed maximum fruits per plant but had smallest fruit size (8 cm). RKML-26 exhibited precocious bearing habit, it was also second-best genotype in terms of yield (37.7 t ha-1). The lowest yield was recorded in the genotype RKML-25 (8.8 t ha-1). These accessions could be used as potential donors for hybridization program to develop high heterotic hybrids.

Soilless growing systems can improve water-use efficiency, especially in closed soilless growing systems. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of different transplanting conditions, and determine how supplying H2O2 as an oxygen source to the rhizosphere of strawberry plants in a soilless growing system affects plant growth, fruit yield and fruit quality. Strawberry plants (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) cv. ‘Fortuna’ were cultivated in 12 L pots filled with peat substrate, and maintained under conditions of natural light and temperature. Treated plants were supplied with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (H1) and control plants did not receive H2O2 (H0). In terms of the transplanting conditions, the plants were transplanted in October (T1), and either maintained in a culture chamber (T2), or refrigerated (T3), for one month, before being transplanted. A completely randomized block design with two treatment factors (transplanting conditions, and H2O2 treatment) and five replications was established. Then, we determined the fruit per plant, yield per plant (g plant−1), fruit weight (g fruit−1), fruit size (mm), SPAD values, crown number, crown diameter (mm), flower number, firmness (g cm−1), pH, total soluble solid (TSS), titratable acidity (TA) and TSS/TA. During the early crop cycle, there were not significant differences between treatment and the transplanting conditions that significantly affected the fruit weight and fruit size, although T3 produced the highest values. During the late crop cycle, the H2O2 treatment affected fruit per plant, yield per plant (g plant−1), and crown diameter, with H1 producing the highest values. Furthermore, the transplanting conditions affected yield per plant (g plant−1), old SPAD values, crown diameter, firmness, TSS, TA and TSS/TA.

Abstract The objective of this study was to assess the effect of planting densities, irrigation levels and bunch trimming on yield, fruit grading and water-use efficiency (WUE) of ‘Prata-Anã’ banana plants. The following factors were combined in a randomized block design: three irrigation levels (IL), 50, 75 and 100% crop evapotranspiration (ETc); four planting densities (PD)- 1,666; 2,083; 2,666 and 3,333 plants ha-1; and two bunch trimming treatments (BT), removal of either one or two hands from the bunch. The treatments were arranged in a split-split plot design. Irrigation level was assigned to main plots, PD to subplots and BT to sub-subplots, with four replicates. Measurements were made in the first production cycle. Removing two hands increased number of leaves, leaf area, leaf area index, fruit weight, fruit diameter, total hand weight and mean hand weight of ‘Prata-Anã’ banana plants. A plant density population of 3,333 plants ha-1 combined with an irrigation level at 75% ETc improves plant development and yield while maintaining fruit size and saving water, regardless of removal of one or two hands from the bunch.

The obstacle faced when cultivating honey pumpkins (Cucurbita moschata Durchesne) is that the fruit size is not uniform and even tends to get smaller so that the results are not satisfactory and are not accepted in the market. This study aims to examine the effect of the combined application of the MOL of bamboo concentration with fruit thinning on the growth and production of honey pumpkins, which was carried out from May to September 2020 in PT. Pupuk Sriwijaya land, H. Agus Salim street No. 1 Handil Jaya Village, Jelutung District, Jambi. This study used a factorial randomized block design with 2 factors, the first factor being the provision of MOL of bamboo which consisted of 4 levels of concentration, namely; without presenting the MOL of bamboo (b0), MOL of bamboo 20 ml L-1 (b1), 40 ml L-1 (b2), and 60 ml L-1 (b3). The second factor is fruit thinning, consisting of 3 levels, namely; without fruit thinning (p0), fruit thinning to 4 pieces (p1), and fruit thinning to 6 pieces (p2) with 3 replications. The results showed that the combination of concentration MOL of bamboo of 40 ml L-1 and fruit thinning to 4 pieces resulted in higher plant growth yields and greater fruit weight. This study showed that these two factors were involved in the growth and yield of honey pumpkins.

ABSTRACT Knowledge about associations between traits is fundamental for plant breeding, since indirect selection can accelerate the development of promising genotypes. This study assessed the magnitude of associations between agronomically important traits in fisális (Physalis peruviana L). The experiment was conducted in Lages, Santa Catarina, and the treatments consisted of six fisális populations. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design, with two replications and seven plants per plot. The correlations between traits were estimated based on the Pearson correlation coefficients and partitioned into direct and indirect effects through path analysis. Fruit weight was positively correlated with number of seeds (0.874), equatorial fruit diameter (0.738) and polar fruit diameter (0.672). By path analysis, number of seeds was identified as the trait with the highest direct contribution to fruit weight. The high phenotypic correlations between the equatorial and polar fruit diameters with fruit weight were mainly due to the indirect effect via number of seeds (0.505 and 0.459). The selection for heavier fisális fruits was strongly influenced by number of seeds, i.e., this trait should be taken into account for selection.

ABSTRACT The low fruit set is one of the main factors leading to poor yield of pear orchards in Brazil. Ethylene is associated with abscission of flowers and fruitlets. Then, the application of ethylene synthesis inhibitors, such as AVG, is a potential tool to increase fruit set of pears. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of AVG, sprayed at different rates and timings, on fruit set, yield and fruit quality of ‘Rocha’ pear. The study was performed in a commercial orchard located in the municipality of São Joaquim, SC, during the growing seasons of 2014/2015 and 2015/2016. Plant material consisted of ‘Rocha’ pear trees grafted on quince rootstock ‘BA29’. AVG was tested at different rates (60 mg L-1 and 80 mg L-1) and timings [full bloom, one week after full bloom (WAFB), and two WAFB), either alone or in combination. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design, with at least five single-tree replications. The fruit set, number of fruit per tree, yield, estimated yield, fruit weight, return bloom, and fruit quality attributes were assessed. Fruit set and yield were consistently increased by single applications of AVG at 60 and 80 mg L-1 at both one and two weeks after full bloom, without negatively affecting fruit quality attributes and return bloom.
