Soursop tree (Annona muricata) is a tropical fruit crop which cultivation is under an increasing development in the Northeastern part of Brazil. Fruit production is usually low due to deficient pollination. Severa! Annonaceae species are pollinated by coleoptera. Soursop flowers are visited by beetles Cyclocephala gravis Bates which feed upon two nourishing tissue areas found on the adaxial and basal portions o...
The production of nursery is one of the most important steps in fruit crop systems. The rooting of semihardwood cuttings is largely influenced by the substrate composition, container, matrix genotype and physiological stage. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of different substratum composition on growth of berry plant genotypes propagated by stem cutting in dibble tubes condition under na intermit...
