Since then, commercial apple production has seen wide-spread adoption of high- density planting systems in which the methods and im- pacts of summer pruning would be expected to differ sub- stantially from those used in semi-dwarf (e.g. M.7, ca. 5 m tall) trees, but few studies have examined the impacts of summer pruning on apple diseases in high-density trees. keywords: apple; blight; canopy; disease; fire; fruit; management; plant; pruning; scab; summer; summer pruning; trees cache: ahs-2958.pdf plain text: ahs-2958.txt item: #44 of 231 id: ahs-2959 author: Abu-Hammour, K.A.; Wittmann, D. title: Seed contents of Coriandrum sativum in Jordan Valley date: 2013-05-10 words: 2784 flesch: 66 summary: Key words: Coriandrum sativum, fertilized seeds and global warming, petroselinic acid.

The high TSS recorded in field grown pepino fruits could be due to high light intensity and thus high photosynthesis leading to more accumulation of sugars in the fruit compared to greenhouse grown fruits where the light intensity was low leading to reduced photosynthesis and hence low accumulation of sugars in the fruits (Beckmann et al., 2006). keywords: day; fertilizer; field; fruits; greenhouse; npk; pepino; plants; room; storage; temperature; tss cache: ahs-9945.pdf plain text: ahs-9945.txt
