Abstract:The research work is carried out to investigate the effects of foliar potassium and calcium nitrate applications on nutrient content and fruit quality of figs. The trial was performed as three replications on Sanlop trees, the main cultivar for conmiercial drying. The foliar fertilisation was made twice on July 10 and 25, 1997, and the program was carried out as potassium nitrate at 3.0 % level, calcium nitrate at 1.5 and 3.0 % levels and a combined application of 2.0 % potassium nitrate and 2.0 % calcium nitrate. The results put forth an increase of K and Ca contents of leaf lamina and petiole. Applications exerted marked effect on fruit width, length, shape and width of the ostiolar opening. Similar consequences appeared on texture and sugar fractions as fiiictose, a-glucose, p-glucose and galactose of dried fruits.
