This research was in 2014 and 2015 seasons on Picual and Kalamata olive cultivars. Trees were about 15 years old, planted at 6×4 meters apart in sandy soil, under a drip irrigation system at privet orchard located at Cairo –Alexandria desert road. The research aimed to study the independent effects of foliar application with Mono […]
This study was on banana, where potassium sulphate was used as a foliar spray on a banana at three concentrations (0.5% -1.00% and 1.5%) twice after the opening of the last hand (i.e. 7th month after planting), and 30 days later. The number of leaves, total Chlorophyll in leaves, Number of days required for maturation, […]
Yield and fruit quality of Washington navel orange trees in response to spraying both calcium chloride and zinc sulphate at 0.5, 1 and 1.5% and potassium sulphate at 1, 2 and 3% were evaluated during two successive seasons, 2013 and 2014 at Abou–EL Matamier, Beheira Governorate, Egypt. The experiments were designed as randomized complete block […]
Strawberry, being introduced recently to the fruit industry of Pakistan, is a new commodity, therefore the growers are still unaware of the optimum fertilizer dose needed to obtain a better yield. To achieve this goal, the present research study was designed to optimize the proper dose of Potassium (K) for strawberry under the agro-climatic conditions […]
Two field experiments were conducted during 2013 and 2014 winter seasons to study the effect of foliar spray with potassium nitrate, potassium silicate, potassium chloride, and monopotassium phosphate at the rates 1000 ppm and 2000 ppm on growth, yield parameters and some biochemical constituents of potato plant (Solanum tuberosum L.). Two samples were taken after […]
This study was designed to determine the influence of the foliar application of calcium and potassium nitrate concentrations (0,10 and 15 mM) on growth, yield, and fruit quality of cucumber grown under plastic house conditions. The results revealed that the higher concentration (15 mM) of each spray solution of calcium and potassium nitrate was superior […]
