“…Fe, Mn, Zn and B play a great role in plant growth, yield and fruit quality as a result of affecting many physiological processes in plant life and activating a large numbers of enzymes. Mirzapour and Khoshgoftarmanesh, (2013). The data of the current study revealed that the application of a mixture of micronutrients caused a 10% increase in the fruit yield and reduced the cracking percentage by about 60% compared to the control These results agreed with those reported by Ahmed et al (2014) and Merwad et al (2016).…”

Little is known about the response of pomegranate to the foliar application with nutrients and gibberellic acid. A randomized complete block design (RCBD) experiment was conducted on 40-years old Manfalouty pomegranate trees grown on Upper Egypt. The study aims to investigate the effect of foliar application with gibberellic acid (GA 3 ), potassium silicate (PS), zinc sulphate (ZS) and fetrilon compi (FC) which is a mixture of micronutrients on fruiting of pomegranate trees. All the tested treatments significantly (P< 0.05) improved the yield and fruit quality and reduced the fruit cracking percentage. GA 3 and FC spraying induced a 15 and 11% increase in the fruit yield and minimized the cracking percentage by 47 and 61% compared to the control treatment, respectively. It is recommended to spray Manfalouty pomegranate trees with micronutrients, potassium silicate, or zinc sulphate twice at mid of June and August to enhance the pomegranate yield and quality.

“…Similarly, the benefit-cost ratio which represents additional profit earned for each additional unit of expenditures was found to be higher than 1 for all forage crops, which depicted foliar applied nutrients as an economically viable strategy. Marginal rate of returns were also improved with foliar feeding of micronutrients as the economic gains owing to higher productivity overpassed minute expenditures of micronutrients (Mirzapour et al, 2013). Thus, not only the biological feasibility of foliar spraying of micronutrients for forage crops was established but their economic viability was also proven (Kumar et al, 2014).…”

Planta Daninha 2019; v37:e019189237 IQBAL, M.A. et al. A meta-analysis of the impact of foliar feeding of micronutrients on productivity and revenue generation ... ABSTRACT -Food security assurance to meet the demands of increased population growth requires a proportional increase in milk and meat production which, in turn, depends on animal nutrition. Assessing foliar application of micronutrients for production of substantive quantities of good quality forage must be a goal of modern, profit-oriented, sustainable agriculture and plants with better competitive ability as compared to weeds. This meta-analysis made a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the impact of foliar feeding of micronutrients (iron, zinc, copper, sulfur and boron) on forage crops under varying pedo-climatic conditions. Weighted and unweighted meta-analyses were performed on 139 studies to evaluate 19 independent variables (9 qualitative, 5 qualitative, 5 economic) in comparison to no spray of micronutrients. Foliar feeding through application of one, two or more micronutrients with single or multiple sprays positively influenced agronomic and physiological traits, which led to significantly higher green forage (7-19%) and dry matter biomass. Nutritional quality, particularly crude protein (1.9-11.0%) and digestibility (8-17%), was improved by foliar spraying of micronutrients. Economic outputs were also increased as additional benefits rendered by foliar applied micronutrients surpassed their expenditures. For this data set, it is concluded that foliar feeding of micronutrients has the potential to boost forage yield, nutritional quality and revenue of cereals, legumes and non-conventional forage crops (quinoa and medick) depending on soil fertility status, concentration of applied micronutrients, number of foliar sprays, crop growth stage for foliar feeding and specific agro-environmental conditions.

“…Beneficial effects of vermicompost leachate have also been reported in bulbous plants and some commercially important crops such as banana and tomato (Aremu et al 2012;Arthur et al 2012;Aremu et al 2014). Pomegranate (Punica granatum) is a strategic horticultural crop cultivated all over the world (Mirzapour and Khoshgoftarmanesh 2013). It is one of the oldest fruit crops which has been cultivated since ancient times for its economic, ornamental, and medicinal properties (Pirseyedi et al 2010;Ramezanian et al 2009).…”

Purpose Growth and productivity of plant crops are negatively affected by salt stress. Vermicompost leachate (VCL) has beneficial effects on plant growth in several different ways. This experiment was conducted to investigate the potential of VCL for raising the tolerance of pomegranate against salinity. Methods A pot experiment was organized to analyze some physiological attributes and antioxidant activities of two Iranian pomegranate cultivars under different concentrations of NaCl with or without VCL. Results Salinity negatively affected the growth properties of pomegranate, while foliar spray of VCL-induced salt tolerance by reducing the accumulation of Na ? in the seedlings. Leaf area and shoot and root fresh and dry weight of VCL-treated pomegranate plants showed a significant increase regardless of whether the seedling growth was under non-saline or saline conditions. Chlorophyll loss and reduced photosynthesis efficiency caused by salinity were also ameliorated using VCL. Foliar application of VCL also improved the activity of antioxidant enzymes and caused a reduction in oxidative stress and electrolyte leakage. Conclusions These results suggested that VCL could alleviate the damage caused by salt stress in pomegranate by limiting the agglomeration of Na ? and amending the activities of antioxidant enzymes by which the efficiency of plant increases.
