The journal publish research study results from researchers of an extensive range of horticultural crops, including fruit trees, vegetables, and ornamental plants. The journal is highly regarded overseas .The journal accept collection of articles encompassing a wide range of research topics, from practical issues to biotechnology that utilizes basic research and molecular biology.</p> The Future Science Journals en-US The Furure of Horticulture 2692-5826 https://submit.futurejournals.org/index.php/foh/article/view/64 <p>This investigation was conducted during 2017 and 2018 seasons on twenty years old persimmon<br>trees (Diospyros kaki L.) Costata cultivar budded on Tarabuls rootstock (Diospyros virgeniana) grown in loamy<br>soil under flood irrigation system at El-kanater Horticultural Research Station, Egypt. The study aimed to<br>enhance flowering, yield and fruit quality particularly fruit size using foliar applications with growth regulators<br>substances namely, gibberellic acid, benzyladenine, and ascorbic acid. The obtained data showed that, all<br>treatments had significant effects on all experimental parameters. The most effective treatment was<br>benzyladenine foliar application with a concentration of 40 ppm that gained 31.66 and 35.27 kg fruit per tree<br>compared to the control, which gained 13.65 and 13.32 kg fruit per tree in the first and second seasons,<br>respectively.</p> R Darwesh Copyright (c) 2020 The Furure of Horticulture https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2020-10-07 2020-10-07 3 1 https://submit.futurejournals.org/index.php/foh/article/view/7 <p>A hydroponic culture experiment was carried out during two successive seasons (2017 and 2018) on two years old grapevines cv. Flame seedless (Vitis vinifera L.) aimed to study the effect of Mycorrhiza, Azospirillum and Azotobacter treatments on growth, leaf chemical composition and cation equilibrium of Flame Seedless grapevines own rooted cuttings. The plants were two years old at the start of the experiment. The experiment was conducted under controlled conditions in Laboratory, with temperature fixed at 25 ± 3C°, relative humidity between 75–85% and 14-hours light exposure. Three microorganisms commonly used in biofertilization, namely: Arbuscular Mycorrhiza, Azospirillum brasilense, and Azotobacter chrococcum were used as biofertilizers. Standard nutrient solution, adapted with grapevines needs, reported by Morard 1995 and Ibrahim (2001) was prepared and used in this experiment. The Flame seedless own rooted cuttings exhibited high growth parameters as a result to biofertilization than those untreated cuttings. However, the higher values of shoot length, number of leaves/shoots, leaf area, chlorophyll contents and growth ratio at nutrient solutions was obtained from the seedlings treated with the three micro-organisms in combination. The chemical analysis of mature leaves and roots indicated that the own rooted cuttings received Mycrrohiza showed significantly higher ratio of P, K, Mg and Fe than other bio-fertilizers treatments. On the other hand, the Azotobacter treatments exhibited higher levels of N and Zn contents. Significant differences were observed between the two cultivars in Ca contents. However, the lowest N. P, K, Mg, Fe and Zn values were obtained from control treatment</p> Hamdy I.M. Ibrahim Copyright (c) 2020 Hamdy I.M. Ibrahim https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2020-07-30 2020-07-30 3 1
