Exploitation of Plant Growth Substances for Improving the Yield and Quality of Pomegranate under Ultra High Density Planting

Effect of Some Growth Regulators, Nutrient Elements and Kaolin on Cracking and Fruit Quality of Pomegranate ‘Wonderful’ Cultivar

“…Results in Table (3) indicated that, the maximum fruit volume was observed in the treatment 50 mg/l NAA (593.20 and 578.72 cm 3 ), as compared with the control treatment which recorded the minimum fruit volume (335.53 and 324.16 cm 3 ) in the first and second seasons, respectively. These results are in agreement with those obtained by Shanmugasundaram and Balakrishnamurthy (2017) and Singh et al (2017).…”

“…Control (Spraying with tap water) treatment recorded minimum fruit diameter (8.23 and 8.10 cm), during both studied seasons. These results are agreement with those obtained by Kishor et al (2017) and Shanmugasundaram and Balakrishnamurthy (2017). The significant increase in fruit length and fruit diameter obtained may be attributed to nature of auxins (NAA) to stimulate cell division, cell elongation and membrane permeability to water uptake (Chaudhary et al, 2006).…”

Impact of Some Preharvest Treatments on Fruit Size and Quality of "African Rose" Plums

“…The above-mentioned results of potassium nitrate are in line with those obtained by Hashem et al (2020); Gill et al (2012) on 'Patharnakh' pear; Prasad et al (2015) on pear trees 'Pathernakh.' On the other hand, the same trends of these results of potassium nitrate treatments were found by Shanmugasundaram and Balakrishnamurthy (2017), who found spraying potassium nitrate increased total soluble solids, total sugars, anthocyanin and vitamin C, also, Jawandha et al (2017) reported that spray of potassium nitrate decreased titratable acidity on plum ' Satluj purple. Al-Bamarny et al (2010b) found that the foliar application of K activates several enzymes, such as those involved in the synthesis of carbohydrates.…”

Foliar Application of Gebbrillic and Salicylic Acids Improves Fruit Quality and Yield and Reduces Aphid Population in Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.)

“…When phytohormones are applied, the plant undergoes changes in carbohydrate and amino acids in leaves (Khodary 2004;Liang et al 2006;Chandra et al 2007;Tytgat et al 2013), but less is known about phytohormone induced changes in the phloem sap composition. Spraying gebrillic acid enhanced total yield, TSS and reduced cracking fruits and acidity (Sharifi and Sepahi 1984, Ghosh et al 2009, Yılmaz and Özgüven 2009, Shanmugasundaram, and Balakrishnamurthy 2017.…”
