“…Regarding Ca content, it was cleared that the highest irrigation level (15m 3 /tree/ year) increased Ca content significantly compared with other irrigation levels. These results are in line with those reported by Ahmed (1994) on pomegranate, Chauhan et al (2005) on apple as they indicated that leaf content of Ca was greater with the highest irrigation regimes than the lowest irrigation ones.…”

“…On the other hand, irrigation at 7 m 3 /tree/ year gave the lowest significant K content (1.45-1.34%) in both seasons. The increase of leaf N, P and K content with increasing irrigation rate was previously reported by Hussein (2004) on pear, Chauhan et al (2005) on apple, as they found that nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium contents were increased under the condition of high irrigation treatment.…”

“…Increasing fruit retention and reducing fruit drop with high irrigation rate are in harmony with results of Lavee and Wodner (1992) on olive, who reported that the fruit retention increased and fruit drop decreased as the irrigation rate increased. Also, Chauhan et al (2005) on apple and Ruiz-Sanchez et al, (1999) on apricot found that, drought stress increased fruitlet drop.…”

This investigation was carried out in two successive seasons (2007 and 2008) on 20 year old pomegranate cv. Manfalouty (Punica granatum L.) trees grown at El-Kassasien Research Station, Ismailia Governorate in sandy soil under drip irrigation system. The experiment was designed to study the response of pomegranate trees to different irrigation levels and their effect on vegetative growth and fruit quality. The trees received the following five irrigation levels: 7, 9, 11, 13 or 15 m 3 /tree/year. The results indicated that the highest irrigation level of 15m 3 /tree/year enhanced vegetative growth by increasing shoots length, number of leaves per shoot and leaf area. Also, it increased the number of flowers per shoot, fruit set, fruit retention, fruit dimensions, fruit volume, fruit grains, yield and fruit cracking. Using irrigation level of 13 m 3 /tree/year recorded the highest leaf mineral contents of N, P, K and Ca. Also, increased fruit juice, TSS/ acid ratio and water use efficiency (WUE) and gave the lowest fruit cracking. Meanwhile, using the lowest irrigation level of 7 m 3 /tree/year decreased vegetative growth, yield and fruit weight, with increasing fruit cracking, fruit TSS, acidity, sugar, V.C. and anthocyanin content.

Reduction in leaf element contents with reducing irrigation amount is explained by a substantial decrease in transpiration rates and impaired active transport and membrane permeability, resulting in a reduced root absorbing power of nutrients.…”

ABSTRACT3 /tree /year gave similar effect on improving all growth characters, fruit set, yield and fruit quality except fruit diameter and V.C. Similar results were found with high rate of the mixture (2Kg NF+500gm K 2 SO 4 ) with the same level of irrigation on all characters except acidity. Date also indicated that the application of Hz soil combined with mixture of (NF+K 2 SO 4 ) at both highest levels for each of them and irrigated with moderate irrigation level 8.25m 3 /tree /year gave best growth and produced higher fruit quality as compared with trees irrigated with 100% from recommended water level. Similar effects of combinations between high rate of both Hundz soil and the mixture of Nilefertile + K 2 SO 4 under least irrigation treatments 5.5 m 3 /tree/year on the previous characters of fruit. Data indicated generally that the best treatment combination was gained from using highest irrigation level (11m 3 /tree /year) and 10Kg /tree Hundz soil + 2Kg /tree Nile Fertile + 500gm K 2 SO 4 which resulted in the highest values for all vegetative growth characters, leaf N P K, chlorophyll and RWC, yield and all fruit quality except leaf proline, juice tannins and acidity in both seasons. It could be recommended to apply 2Kg /tree Hundz soil combined with 2Kg NF + 500 gm K 2 SO 4 with irrigation level of 11m 3 /tree /year to obtain highest production with good quality of pomegranate fruits as well as to apply 2Kg /tree Hundz soil with 2Kg NF + 500 K 2 SO 4 under irrigation 8.25m3 /tree /year or 5.5m 3 /tree /year for saving about 25% -50% of water to achieve the same yield and fruit quality according to the availability of water, especially in the new reclaimed area.

“…Moreover, increased root proliferation due to the application of VAM also might had contributed to the increased uptake of 'P' content from the soil. Similarly, this may also be due to better soil moisture regime prevailing in root zone through drip irrigation which is crucial for better nutrient availability and assimilation as observed by Chauhan et al (2005) in apple. The treatment combination M 2 S 4 (100% WRc through drip irrigation + 50% FYM + 50% VC) registered higher leaf potassium content over M 4 S 8 (check basin method of irrigation + no manure and no fertilizers).…”

to find out the effect of various irrigation regimes and manurial treatments on soil and leaf nutrient status of noni (Morinda citrifolia L.). The experiment was carried out in split plot design with irrigation regimes on main plot and manurial treatments on sub plot. Among the treatment combination, M 2 S 7 (100% WRc through drip irrigation + 100% recommended dose of NPK through inorganic fertilizers) showed the highest soil available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content. The same treatment combination recorded the increased leaf nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content during vegetative, flowering and harvesting stages.
