“…Shoot N was significantly higher (p<0.05) with inoculated plants than un-inoculated ones. This is in line with findings of [1] who reported an increase in shoot N of plants inoculated with rhizobia than un-inoculated pants due to increase in the number of bacteria and henceforth more nodules per plant were produced and this entails higher nitrogen fixing activity of the crop. Also, no significant difference was observed in shoot P between inoculated plants and uninoculated ones.…”

The research was carried out to determine the effects of biochar and rhizobium inoculation on selected soil chemical properties, shoot N and P of groundnut plant. Two factors were used for this experiment; Biochar and rhizobium inoculation. Biochar was applied at the rate of 20 t ha -1 , 10 t ha -1 and 0 t ha -1 while rhizobium was inoculated to groundnut seeds (inoculated [+] and un-inoculated [-]). The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design and replicated 3 times. Means were separated using Duncan's Multiple Range Test at 5% level of significance. The results showed that 20 t ha -1 of biochar significantly (p<0.05) produced higher values of soil pH, OC, N, available P Original Research Articleand Ca, than 10 t ha -1 and 0 t ha -1 . No significant differences were observed in shoot P among biochar application rates. Rhizobium inoculation had significantly (p<0.05) increase the number of shoot N, soil N, P, K and Mg when compared with un-inoculated plants. It is recommended that 20 t ha -1 should be used for improvement of soil chemical properties while inoculation with rhizobia may be more effective in the presence of biochar due to the habitat offered by the biochar.

“…Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) belongs to the family Leguminosae. It's originated in South America, probably in Brazil, and has been cultivated since ancient times by native Americans [1]. Groundnuts require warm growing season of 120 to 140 days, moderate rainfall and pH 6.0 to 6.5 is more suitable for its cultivation.…”

“…The calcium treated fruits could maintain a higher acidity during the storage might be due to reduced respiration rate. Similar findings have been reported on aonla (Singh et al, 2005), guava (Goutam et al, 2010), and peach (Sajid et al, 2017).…”

Owing to the high degree of perishability of the fruit, the peach industry faces serious challenges tackling physiological disorders, microbial/chemical decay, and the suboptimal quality of the fruit during and following cold storage. The present study was aimed to investigate the effects of spray applications of calcium chloride (CaCl 2 ) at various physiological stages of fruit growth and development, on ripening, flesh softening, chilling injury (CI) and nutritional quality of peach fruit cv "Flordaking" during low-temperature storage. The aqueous solutions of CaCl 2 [0, 1, 2, and 3% (w/v)] were sprayed on peach trees during cell division, pit hardening and cell expansion stages in 2011 and 2012. At commercial harvest, the fruit were hand-picked and were subjected to cold storage at 1 ± 1°C (RH: 90 ± 5%) for 6 weeks. The data on CI index and other quality characteristics of the fruit were recorded at harvest and then weekly for up to 6 weeks. The results showed that the pre-harvest spray application of CaCl 2 substantially reduced the incidence of chilling injury (CI) and delayed climacteric ripening seemingly by lowering the rates of ethylene production and fruit softening during storage as compared to control, regardless the doses of CaCl 2 and its application time, however higher doses of calcium chloride proved to be toxic causing blemishes on the surface of "Flordaking" peaches. In conclusion, pre-harvest spray application of CaCl 2 @ 1% may be a successful production management tool to maintain the quality and to extend storability of peach fruit during cold storage.

“…Moreover, ascorbate content has been also related with elevated stress tolerance (Fenech et al ., 2019). In fact, foliar application of ascorbic acid on peach trees resulted in improving the yield and fruit quality (Sajid et al ., 2017). Previous studies found that vitamin C content in apricot could reach up to 100 mg/100 g dry weight (Akin et al ., 2008), showing the potential of this species as a source of this vitamin.…”

In a social context of increasingly concern about healthy diets, the development of new varieties with enhanced content in nutraceutical compounds is an increasingly important objective of the fruit breeding programs currently developed. In this sense, apricot is a fruit crop very appreciated by consumers due to its organoleptic characteristics, but also plays an important role in human nutrition due to its contain of phytocompounds as sugars, organic acids, vitamins and polyphenols. In this work, new selections from the apricot breeding program carried out at the Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Agrarias (IVIA) and traditional varieties have been analysed aimed at identifying sources of genetic variation for fruit quality. For this purpose, sugar content, organic acids and ascorbic acid were studied during two crop years. Results revealed sucrose and glucose as the major sugars, malic and citric acid as the main organic acids, and diverse ascorbic acid content among the cultivars studied. Results obtained pointed some accessions as potential sources to increase fruit quality. In addition, the study showed that apricot peel is an excellent source of nutraceutical compounds. Moreover, this study opens up new possibilities for future work to study the genetic control of these traits in apricot.
