“…The highest mean value of both characters, were obtained from strawberry plants mulched with black polyethylene mulch and tunneled, in both seasons. The obtained results are in general accordance with those reported by Levent and Sozer (2001) and Medina et al, (2011).…”

“…The low tunnels increased temperature 1-2 °C and enables the plant growing during critical development period, which reflect on flowering traits (Sevgican, 1984). These results seemed to be in general agreements with those reported by Sevgican (1984); Fear and Nonnecke, (1989) and Levent and Sozer, (2001), who reported that plants mulched with black mulches and tunnels flowered and yielded earlier than control one. The interaction effect between type of mulch and cultivar on flowering traits; i.e.…”

Two field experiments were carried out to study the effects of three mulch treatments (black polyethylene, clear polyethylene in addition to a non-mulched control) under low tunnel system (with and without tunnel), on plant growth, flowering traits, fruit yield and quality of three strawberry cultivars (Fragaria & ananassa Duch); Festival, Sweet Charlie and Gaviota, grown in sandy soil under a drip irrigation system. The results indicated that the three tested strawberry cultivars which were mulched with clear or black polyethylene and tunneled exhibited significant increases in number of leaves, number of crown, leaf area, dry mass/plant, number of flower trusses / plant and it flowered earlier than the non-mulched and non-tunneled ones. Moreover, most yield potential characters i.e. early yield, total yield, yield/plant, marketable yield, culls yield and average fruit weight; were positively and significantly increased by the application of mulch (clear and black polyethylene mulch) and tunneled compared to non-mulched and non-tunneled ones. Furthermore, these treatments, significantly, enhanced most fruit quality characteristics; total soluble solids, total titratable acidity, ascorbic acid, and reducing, non-reducing and total sugars compared to the control. Both Festival and Sweet Charlie cultivars were exceeded Gaviota one, in this respect.

This research was laid out to examine the effect of sowing dates and umbel pinching on seed production of Daucas carota. The experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with split plot arrangement and replicated three times at Horticulture Nursery of Agriculture University, Peshawar, Pakistan in 2016. Sowing dates (25 th October, 9 th and 24 th November) were assigned to main plot, while umbel pinching levels; secondary + tertiary + quaternary (STQ), primary + tertiary + quaternary (PTQ) and tertiary and quaternary (TQ) umbel pinching were allotted to sub plots. Maximum (p<0.05) days to flowering (111 days), plant height (137.5 cm), days to seed setting (15.6 days), umbel diameter (14.6 cm), days to maturity (151 days), variability in harvest time (34.8 days), seed yield umbel -1 (5.1 g), seed yield plant -1 (34.2 g) and seed yield tha -1 (3.7 t ha -1 ) were recorded on 25 th October sowing date. Umbel pinching had significantly enhanced plant height (136.4cm), umbel diameter (17 cm), and seed yield umbel -1 (5.7 g) by pinching of STQ umbels. While, maximum seed yield plant -1 (46.9 g), seed yield t ha -1 (5 t ha -1 ) and variability in harvest time (34.1 days) were observed in TQ umbel pinching. Interaction between sowing dates and umbel pinching (S x U) were found significant in case of seed yield umbel -1 , seed yield plant -1 , seed yield t ha -1 and variability in harvest time. Based on the present findings it is concluded that sowing on 25 th October with pinching of TQ umbels is recommended for maximum seed production in carrot.

Physiological and biochemical appraisal for mulching and partial rhizosphere drying of cotton

Water is the main factor for the healthy life of plant. One of the main negative effects of climate change is the increasing scarcity of water that is lethal for plant. Globally, for water deficit regions (arid and semi-arid), drought is the main factor responsible for low production of agriculture, especially for cotton. Great efforts have been and are being made to find alternatives to water saving practices. This study aimed to examine the effects of partial rhizosphere drying (PRD, half of the root system irrigated at one event, and the other half irrigated in the next event, and so on) with and/or without various mulching treatments on physiological and biochemical traits of cotton. To explore this objective, we laid out experiments in completely randomized design with factorial arrangement in the Islamia University of Bahawalpur, Pakistan in 2016. Two factors included were four mulching treatments (M 0 , no mulching; M 1 , black plastic mulching; M 2 , wheat straw mulching; and M 3 , cotton sticks mulching) and two irrigation levels (I 0 , control (full irrigation); and I 1 , PRD). Fisher's analysis of variance among means of treatments was compared using least significant difference test at 5% probability level. Results revealed that the maximum plant height, leaf area, leaf gas exchange (photosynthetic rate and stomata conductance), chlorophyll, proline and total sugar contents, and enzyme activities were higher under M 2 than under other three mulching treatments. As for irrigation levels, higher values of plant height, photosynthesis and water related parameters (leaf water potential, leaf osmotic potential, leaf turgor potential, etc.) were recorded. Contents of total sugar and proline and activities of antioxidant enzymes were significantly higher in PRD-treated plants than in control plants. It was concluded that combined application of PRD and mulching was more effective than the rest of the treatments used in the experiment. Similar study can be conducted in the field by applying irrigation water in alternate rows in semi-arid regions.
