his experiment was carried out during 2016 and 2017 seasons on Flame Seedless grapevines grown at El-Khatatba district, in Menofia Governorate, Egypt. Climate is one of the important factors that control grape production, in warm-winter regions, where the need of intervention of chemical means to break bud rest becomes a dominant factor for maintaining economic production of table grapes. However, the problem is more acute when farmers want to grow on organic table grapes in the absence of environmentally friendly natural bud break promoters. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a garlic extract in comparison to the conventional use of hydrogen cyanamide in promoting bud break and their effects on cluster quality of Flame Seedless grapevines, aiming to invade the markets earlier to maximize the benefits for the producers and to avoid the negative effects of high summer temperature on the vine clusters quality if harvested late. Moreover, this study is a trail to examine to how extent garlic extract (which contains GA3 like substance) can substitute the declination of chilling hours. Five treatments of foliar application [tap water (control); hydrogen cyanamide (H2CN2) 3 and 5%, garlic extract (GE) 3 and 5%] were applied to the vines on three times [the first (D1), mid (D2) and the end (D3) of December]. The obtained results revealed that all treatments were very effective in stimulating vegetative growth, bud burst %, yield, physical and chemical characteristics of the fruits. Generally, D2 was better than the other two times of spraying in all parameters. Vines that had been sprayed with 5% GE on D2 were the best for early harvest time as compared with the two other times. In addition, this treatment increased bud burst, leaves number per new shoot, leaf area and chlorophyll content, cluster weight, yield, the average weight and volume of 100 berries, cluster number, cluster length, cluster width, berry length and diameter, total soluble solid, total sugar, while decreased total acidity. In addition,

his work was carried out during the two successful seasons (2018 and 2019) on the "Sultani" fig trees cultivated in a private orchard located in the Burg Al-Arab region (about 70 km to the west Alexandria, Egypt). This work aims to study the impact of application of sprays with a mixture of chalets (iron, zinc, and Mn) at 50, 100 mg.l -1 and ascorbic acid at 500 and 1000 mg.l -1 with EM at 500 and 1000 mg.l -1 alone or combined in growth, productivity and fruit quality of fig trees planted in calcareous soil. The results showed that all the study parameters led to a significant increase in the measurements of vegetative growth, yield, quality and leaf mineral content for both seasons. Furthermore, a gradual increase in the studied growth parameters of "Sultani" fig trees was quite obvious with increasing the concentrations of both mixtures of microelements and ascorbic acid with Effective Microorganisms (EM) in both seasons. On the other hand, the treatment of spraying the "Sultani" fig trees with ascorbic acid at 1000 mg.l -1 or EM at 1000 mg.l -1 gave the highest values of total chlorophyll, leaf area, yield, fruit quality and leaf mineral contents in both seasons, compared to other treatments. However, the interaction between all treatments was given the best effective results in terms of affecting the fig tree studied parameters in the both seasons.
