In vitro conservation proposes the encapsulation of somatic embryos with the combination of sodium alginate and calcium chloride, incorporating cryoprotective, such as trehalose, glycerol, sorbitol, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) to avoid damage during its freezing with Liquid Nitrogen at -1960 C (cryoconservation), and seek to recover its viability successfully after storage.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of nitrogen fertilization sources and lime applications on WUE of oats ( Avena sativa L.), under no- tillage management in a Typic Haploxerand soil, during the growing season 2008-09. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with three replicates and four treatment.The treatments were: (T 1 ): triple superphosphate+sodium nitrate; (T 2 ), urea+mono-ammonium phosphate, MAP; (T 3 ): urea +MAP + 750 kgha -1 lime and (T 4 ) urea + MAP + 1500kgha -1 lime. Evapotranspiration was measured by the water balance method olumetric soil water content was monitored with a neutron probe. Dry matter was measured in the phenological stages of tillering (T), panicle emergence (PE), milky grain (MG) and dough grain (DG).Total dry matter and grain yield were measured at maturity. Water use efficiency was determined in the phenological stages of: tillering (T)-panicle emergence (PE), PE-milky grain (MG) and MG-dough grain (DG). The results showed that treatments with ammonium fertilizers and lime application enhanced WUE. The higher WUE was observed between PE-MG. The ammonium fertilization (T 2 ) showed lower values for WUE, rate growth and harvest index. The source of nitrogen did not affect crop evapotranspiration and the NP fertilization with lime improves the WUE of oats with no-tillage management in Andisols of Southern Chile.","PeriodicalId":108819,"journal":{"name":"Horticulture International Journal","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127545776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experiment was carried out at the teaching and research farm of Obafemi Awolowo University during the 2018 early and late seasons. The experiment was a factorial (2x4x6) experiment involvedtwo seasons, four fertilizer types (Urea, NPK, organomineral and Organic fertilizer) and six fertilizer levels (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 and 125kg/ha). Data was collected on the agronomic, yield and nutritional quality of sweetcorn. The fresh kernel was evaluated at the time of harvest for total sugar content and proximate analysis. the data collected were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine the effects of treatments on the parameters and significant means were separated by Least Significant Difference (LSD) at (0.05) probability level. The results of this study showed that season, fertilizer types and levels significantly affected the growth and yield of sweet corn. Fertilizer types and levels significantly enhanced the agronomic parameters subsequently resulted in higher yield. The significant effect of fertilizer types and levels is observed on the total sugar concentration of sweet corn. The NPK 100kg/ha fertilizer type and level have the highest total sugar concentration which significantly different from others. It is, therefore, concluded that NPK fertilizer type and 100 Kg/ha significantly increased the growth, yield and nutritional quality of sweet corn.","PeriodicalId":108819,"journal":{"name":"Horticulture International Journal","volume":"2013 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123829625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By using the RT-PCR technique, plants positive to the VT, considered as severe, were detected. Incidence of positive samples ranged from 7% in Alamo to 43% in Tihuatlan.

It is possible to determine a harvest index by correlating the color with the internal physicochemical characteristics of the papaya. The short shelf life is attributed to the physiology of the fruit and the susceptibility to diseases such as anthracnose. Derived from this, the investigations carried out in the last 10 years have focused on technologies such as; edible films and coatings with various antifungal compounds; compounds that delay fruit ripening; and post-harvest treatments to extend shelf life.","PeriodicalId":108819,"journal":{"name":"Horticulture International Journal","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120982687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus both the directions and shape of the beds need to be investigated to determine their effect on the growth and yield of Palu’s local shallots , because of the two directions and shape of the beds there are differences in the way of water management, including in relation to water management and nutrients for the needs plant during its growth. Based on these conditions it is deemed necessary to conduct research to determine the effect of the direction and shape of the beds on the growth and yield of local variant shallot plants in Palu in Guntarano Village. This research aims to study and determine the effect of the direction and form of beds on the growth and yield of local Palu shallot. The results of this research are expected to be a source of information about the technique of making good beds, especially the direction and shape of beds that can provide results for planting shallots. Abstract Shallot ( Allium ascalonicum L.) is one of the economically important types of tuber vegetables and is widely consumed as a food seasoning. In addition, shallots are also used as ingredients of certain medicines. Development of Palu local shallot farming is mostly done on dry land, both on flat and sloping land concessions with the application of improvised technology. This research uses a Split Plot Design. The main plot is the direction of the beds (A) consisting of 2 (two) levels, namely: (A1) = The beds are made in the direction of the slope of the land and (A2) = the beds are made to cut the direction of the slope of the land. The subplot is the Shape of the Bed (B) consisting of two levels, namely: (B1) = Inner bed and (B2) = High bed. Each treatment was repeated three times, so that overall there were 2 x 2 x 3 = 12 trial plots. To determine the type of treatment in each trial plot, randomization was previously carried out. Randomization was carried out in stages, namely: the first stage randomized the location of the Main Plots, then continued the second stage by randomizing the Plots in each Main Plot. The results of this study indicate that there is no real interaction between the treatment of the beds and the shape of the beds on the growth and yield of Palu’s local shallots in Guntarano Village. In general, the treatment of the beds does not significantly affect the growth and yield of Palu local shallots. The shape of the inner beds can give growth and yield of Palu local shallots better than the shape of the raised beds.","PeriodicalId":108819,"journal":{"name":"Horticulture International Journal","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134351589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
