During the spring season of 2022, a field study was undertaken in one of the villages in the city of Ramadi, employing three genetic structures of cucumber: Marketmore 76, Ocucmmol (st), and Lahoba361034. The cultivars were introduced into a full diallel crossbreeding programme, yielding three reciprocal hybrid seeds and three reverse hybrid seeds, as well as the parent seeds (3 males + 6 hybrids). The study used a Randomised Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replicates to investigate phenotypic, genetic, and environmental variability, broad sense heritability, and genetic and phenotypic connections among the traits investigated. The results showed that the values of discrepancies differed between the studied qualities, and the values of genetic and phenomenal variation were greater than the values of environmental variation for most attributes and most of the qualities evaluated had the greatest broad sense heritability values. The genetic correlation was a high-morale positive between the plant’s quotient, the fruit length and the fruit weight. Plant yield, on the other hand, had a substantial negative genetic association with the nodes number before the first female flower. Plant yield correlated positively but not significantly with the number of first fruit holding, plant length, and leaf area. As for the phenotypic correlation the Plant yield was positively and strongly connected with fruit weight, but highly negatively and significantly correlated with the nodes number before the first female flower. Plant yield was likewise negatively and insignificantly linked with the sex ratio characteristic.

Fruit Pome Cracking, Causes and Solutions: A review

Cracking fruit happens when the fruit is still developing and is a physiological condition. It lowers the fruit’s quality and marketability, which in turn causes huge economic losses and a possible reduction in production of 70%. Many factors, including heredity, physiology, and the environment, affect whether or not fruit cracks. Fruits can develop surface cracks due to uneven internal growth, which is exacerbated by unfavourable environmental factors including heavy rainfall and high temperatures. When it comes to transporting and storing fruit, the peel is crucial for its resistance to cracking.

“…The three-way interaction showed a significant effect, with treatments (A2B2C0) at site 1 and (A2B2C2) at site 2 with the highest yield per plant of 537.03 and 530.58 g plant -1 , respectively, while treatment (A0B0C0) at both sites 1 and 2 gave the lowest yield of 236.89 and 245.20 g plant -1 , respectively. The seaweed extract's high concentration of macro-and micronutrients (N, Ca, Mg, B, Cu, Fe, and Zn) can be credited with the rise in yield and its constituent parts that resulted from spraying [28].…”

The investigation was carried out within a controlled environment of a plastic greenhouse situated at two distinct geographical sites. The initial site was situated in the primary research station affiliated with the College of Agriculture, University of Anbar. During the 2022-2023 growing season, the second experimental site was established in Dolab village. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of applying seaweed extract, amino acid (arginine), and growth regulator (Brassinolide) on the flowering and yield of Albion strawberry saplings. The experiment was conducted under controlled environmental conditions. Three factors were studied during the experiment, including (spraying with seaweed extract at concentrations of 2 and 4 ml L-1), (spraying with amino acid “arginine” at concentrations of 100 and 200 mg L-1), and (spraying with growth regulator “Brassinolide” at concentrations of 0.05 and 0.10 mg L-1), in addition to the control treatment of spraying with distilled water only for the three factors. A factorial experiment with three factors was conducted according to the randomized complete block design (RCBD). The experiment consisted of 27 treatments distributed over three blocks, with five plants per experimental unit. The total number of plants used in the experiment was 405 plants per site. Spraying with seaweed extract had a significant effect on all the flowering and yield traits studied. The concentration of 4 ml L-1 contributed to the best results for the traits (Number of flowers, Percentage of flowers set, Number of fruits, fruit weight, and total yield plant-1). The values were (30.3 and 28.3 flowers plant-1, 77.3 and 78.0%, 21.5 and 20.9 fruits plant-1, 20.3 and 18.4 g, 436.22 and 385.93 g plant-1) for the two sites, respectively. On the other hand, the treatments of spraying with the amino acid (arginine) had a significant effect and the treatment of 200 mg L-1 achieved the highest values for the traits (number of flowers, percentage of flowers set, number of fruits, and total yield plant-1) at both sites. The values were (29.1 and 25.7 flowers plant-1, 71.8 and 72.3%, 20.8 and 19.3 fruits plant-1, 18.5 g, 410.27 and 357.99 g plant-1) for the two sites, respectively. The treatment of 100 mg L- 1 achieved the best results for the trait (fruit weight) at the first site and was (19.9 g). Spraying with the growth regulator (brassinolide) at a concentration of 0.10 mg L-1 achieved the highest values for the traits (number of flowers, percentage of flowers set, number of fruits, fruit weight, and total yield plant-1). The values were (27.8 and 27.1 flower plant-1, 71.0 and 71.6%, 20.2 and 20.0 fruit plant-1, 20.1 and 18.2 g, 406.90 and 365.30 g plant-1). The treatment of spraying with seaweed extract (4 ml L-1) showed the best results in reducing the percentage of deformed fruits and reached (13.84 and 13.43%) at both sites, respectively. On the other hand, spraying with the amino acid at a concentration of 200 mg L-1 at the first site achieved the lowest percentage of 14.51%. The spraying with the amino acid at the second site and the growth regulator at both sites had no significant effect on this trait.
