Passion fruit is known to be sensitive drought, and in order study the physiological biochemical changes that occur passion seedlings under drought stress, a hypertonic polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%) was used simulate stress seedlings. We explored induced by PEG elucidate their response provide theoretical basis for drought-resistant cultivation of The results show had significant effect on growth indices fruit. Drought significantly decreased fresh weight,...

Garlic substrate could influence plant growth through affecting soil microbiome structure. The relationship mechanism between changes in microbial communities, disease suppression and development, however, remains unclear, particularly the degraded micro-ecological environment. In this study, garlic substrates as a amendment were incorporated with different ratios (1:100, 3:100 5:100 g/100 g of soil) replanted disturbed long-term cucumber monoculture (annual double cropping system...

The current study was aimed to evaluate the seed priming potential of AGE (aqueous garlic extracts) enhance germination and early seedling growth eggplant. Different concentrations (100, 200, 300 µg mL−1) were evaluated along with methyl jasmonate (MeJA) salicylic acid (SA), plant regulators reported whereas, water taken as a control treatment. Eggplant seeds primed for 4-, 8-, 12-h traits such rate index, percentage, mean time, fresh dry weights, root, shoot lengths observed. Moreover,...

Growth and bulb development in garlic is affected considerably by variations photoperiod temperature thereby influencing its morphology, physiology, nutritive quality. Varied combinations of photoperiods temperatures may influence the quality, can determine suitability a cultivar for particular region. Experiments were conducted to study impact different on growth, morpho-physiology, quality bulb. Three cultivars viz; G103, G024, G2011-5 exposed (8 h/16 h, 10 h/14 12 h/12 14 h/10 16 h/8 h...

Abstract Low temperature (LT) and high humidity (HH) are important environmental factors in greenhouses plastic tunnels during the cold season, as they hamper plant growth development. Here, we studied effect of LT (day/night: 9/5 °C, 25/18 °C control) HH (95%, 80% on young cucumber plants at 2, 4 or 6 leaf stages.

Vegetable production under plastic sheds severely threatens regional eco-sustainability via anthropogenic activities (excessive use of agrochemicals, pesticides) and problems associated with replanting. Long-term successive cropping across growing seasons induces continuous stress, whose effects manifest as diminished plant growth. Therefore, it is imperative that we develop environmentally sustainable approaches, such replacing agrochemicals vegetable waste like dry raw garlic stalk (DRGS)...

Insecticide resistance poses many challenges in insect pest control, particularly the control of destructive pests such as red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta). In recent years, beta-cypermethrin and fipronil have been extensively used to manage invasive ants, but their effects on development S. invicta are still unknown. To investigate development, was collected from populations five different cities Guangdong, China. The results showed 105.71- 2.98-fold higher against...
