In 2000, trees sprayed with a suspension at full bloom, 30 60 days after bloom. This experiment demonstrated significant differences shoot length only treated bloom stage. view this, was performed 2001.The average increase yield 30% 90%,...

A magnetic field is an inescapable environmental factor for plants in the soil. However, its impact on plant growth not well understood. In order to learn how fields affect plants, effects of alternating (MF) yield and ion accumulation leaves strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) was studied. Short day cv. Camarosa were treated with strengths 0.096, 0.192 0.384 Tesla (T) heated greenhouse conditions. Fruit fruit number per plant, average weight higher at low MF strength than control high...

Plant growth promoting effects of Bacillus subtilis EY2, atrophaeus EY6, spharicus GC subgroup B EY30, Staphylococcus kloosii EY37 and Kocuria erythromyxa EY43 were tested on strawberry cv. 'Fern' in terms fruit yield, growth, chlorophyll reading value, leaf relative water content (LRWC), membrane permeability ionic composition leaves roots under saline conditions. Compared with 0 mM sodium chloride (NaCl) treatment, the average decrease yield LRWC 51.6% 21.0%, respectively, when 35 NaCl was...

Abstract Phosphorus (P)‐solubilizing bacteria and fungi can increase soil‐P availability, potentially enhancing crop yield when P is limiting. We studied the effectiveness of Bacillus FS‐3 Aspergillus FS9 in strawberry ( Fragaria × ananasa cv. Fern) mineral content leaves fruits on a P‐deficient calcareous Aridisol Eastern Anatolia, Turkey. The 120 d pot experiment was conducted three replicates with treatments FS‐3, FS9, control) five increasing rates addition (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 kg ha –1...

Abstract This research was conducted in the Erzurum province of eastern Turkey during 1996–98. The rose hip (Rosa spp.) population c. 10 000 seedling shrubs examined with regard to fruit and shrub properties. Twelve promising genotypes were selected, six which belonged R. dumalis, four canina, one genotype selected both pulverulanta montana. exhibited a range 3.149–4.803 g for weight, 63.11–71.13% flesh ratio, 1074–2557 mg/100 ascorbic acid, 31.01–36.72% total soluble solids, 34.82–40.15%...

Allelopathic effects of juglone and walnut leaf extracts from Persian (Juglans regia L.) on yield, growth, chemical plant nutrient element composition the day-neutral strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa cultivar Fern were investigated as part an effort to identify tolerant species adjacent walnut. Strawberry plants treated with (5-hydroxy-1.4 naphthoquinone, 1mM) (undiluted, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 diluted). Vegetative reproductive growth was inhibited strongly by treatment both undiluted extracts. Fruit...

ABSTRACT During 2003 and 2005, plant growth promoting effects of Pseudomonas BA-8 Bacillus OSU-142 were tested alone or in combination on apple (Malus domestica L.) cvs. 'Starkrimson' 'Granny Smith' terms yield, growth, nutrient composition leaves the province Karaman, Turkey. The presence BA-8, BA-8+OSU-142 stimulated resulted significant yield increases both cultivars. Floral foliar applications PGPR strains significantly increased per trunk cross-section area (13.3–118.5%), fruit weight...

The effects of Alcaligenes 637Ca, Agrobacterium A18, Staphylococcus MFDCa1, MFDCa2, Bacillus M3 and Pantoea FF1 were tested on peach cv. 'Elegant Lady' GF677 Nemaguard rootstocks. Average increases in citric, malic, oxalic, butyric fumaric acid the leaf obtained from rhizobacterial root inoculations 33.1, 17.5, 21.7, 26.5, 44.7% Elegant Lady/Nemaguard, respectively. showed highest FC-R activity roots (112.4 nmol FW gr−1 hr−2) (162 hr−2). was with MFDCa2 Lady/Nemaguard (57.1 637Ca Lady/GF677...

Abstract The effects of different priming treatments and durations on germination percentage, speed, synchrony thermal time requirement the seeds chickpea were investigated. Seeds osmoprimed in four water potentials (−0.5, −1.0, −1.5 −2.0 MPa) polyethylene glycol (PEG) or 4% mannitol addition to hydropriming for 12 24 h at 25±1°C darkness. Following priming, subjected tests ten constant temperatures ranging from 5 32±0.5°C. In general, there was no significant effect percentage. However,...

Ten SSR loci, previously developed for Prunus, were analyzed to examine genetic relationships among 23 rootstock candidates sweet and sour cherries, of the species P. avium, cerasus, mahaleb, angustifolia. Five genotypes laurocerasus, not used as rootstock, included in molecular analysis. The number alleles per locus ranged from 8 12, with a mean 9, while microsatellite varied 17, indicating that SSRs highly informative. degree heterozygosity (0.61) was high. Clustering analysis resulted two...

In the present study, a total of 186 bacterial strains isolated from various soil sources and plant species Eastern Anatolia region in Turkey were evaluated for their ability to suppress gray mold (Botrytis cinerea Pers. ex Fr.) occurred on strawberry cv. Fern. Among strains, 36 found effective inhibit development B. under vitro conditions, thirteen them which have greater inhibition zone selected as biocontrol agent. These antagonistic identified Bacillus lentimorbus, megaterium, pumilis,...

The Coruh Valley, located in Northeastern Turkey, is one of the most important centers diversity pomegranate Turkey.In this study, we attempted to characterize 19 promising genotypes originating from Valley using fl uorescent dye AFLP markers and capillary electrophoresis.Four primer combinations were used, generating a total 297 fragments, 213 which polymorphic (73.0%).Resolving powers primers ranged 0.700 1.018, with 3.440, while polymorphism information contents 0.707 0.837 an average...
