Foliar sprays with synthetic biostimulants or microbial biostimulants PGPR (plant growth promoting rhizobacteria) were used. They contain amino acids, macro and micro elements, humic acid and vitamins. Also its direct effect in release stimulants, nutrients, antibiotics, biosides and sidrofores or activation of these microorganisms in plant rhizosphere in activation and improving plant growth. This study was carried out during 2013 and 2014 seasons on 10 years old Washington navel orange (Citrus sinensis Osbeck) trees budded on sour orange (Citrus aurantium L.) rootstock, grown in a private orchard located at Motobus, Kafr El Sheikh Governorate, to study the effect of synthetic stimulants (Furdose) and microbial biostimulant (Azospirillum lipoferum)on fruit set, dropping, yield and fruit quality. Furdose as a commercial synthetic biostimulant and microbial biostimulant Azospirillum lipoferum were used as foliar application alone or in combination at two stages, before flowering(first mach) or after fruit set(first may) or before flowering and after fruit set. The obtained results revealed that, fruit set and drop percentages, yield and fruit quality were u significantly affected by Furdose and Azospirillum lipoferum treatments alone or in combination in both seasons. The data cleared that, both stimulators enhanced fruit set percentage, yield and fruit quality of Washington navel orange trees. Azospirillum lipoferum alone or combined with Furdose was more effective on improving the productivity and fruit quality .The T6 (foliar spray of A. lipoferum after fruit set) , T7 ((foliar spray of A. lipoferum before flowering and after fruit set) and T10 (foliar spray of Furdose plus A. lipoferum before flowering and after fruit set) were the most effective treatments on yield and fruit quality. It increased fruit set, yield and fruit quality in terms of fruit number, fruit kg/tree, fruit firmness, soluble solids content, reducing and total sugars and vitamin C. Fruit drop was decreased without significant differences among them in both seasons. Thus spraying with Azospirillum lipoferum after fruit set T6 (foliar spray of A. lipoferum after fruit set)) gave 112.4 and 115.7 kg/tree compared with T7 (foliar spray with Azospirillum lipoferum before flowering and after fruit set) 108.7 and 121.4 kg/tree and T10 ((foliar spray the combination of them before flowering and after fruit set) 114.7 and 130.3 kg/tree during both seasons, respectively. The use of (Azospirillum lipoferum) is recommended for increasing fruit yield and quality such as firmness, SSC, V.C and total sugars which may be increase the fruit ability to handling stages and longest shelf life, and gave the highest of net return per feddan and the increase in net return over control. when used alone or with synthetic biostemulants (Furdose) compared with the use of synthetic biostemulants (Furdose) alone .

“…Biofertilizers consist mainly of beneficial microorganisms that may release nutrients from raw materials and plant residues in the soil and make them available commercially where specific strains are used as bio-fertilizers (Mosa et al, 2014). Fruits and vegetables exist at ideal conditions for the survival and growth of many types of microorganisms.…”

Experiment was conducted in order to find the role of local microorganisms (LoM) generated from rotten fruits and vegetables in producing liquid organic fertilizer (LOF). LoM resulting from rotten fruits and vegetables was dominated by Lactobacillus sp.. Therefore, in this experiment LoM was used to utilize cow urine to be LOF. The LoM was tested based on the composition of rotten fruit (F) and vegetable (V) and LoM consisted of LoM-1 (100% F); LoM-2 (75% F: 25% V); LoM-3 (50% F:50% V); LoM-4 (25% F-75% V); and LoM-5 (100% V). In this study other than LoM, EM4 was also used as a source of microorganism and positioned as a control. Cow urine and other materials were mixed and stirred homogenously. After that the LoM was put into the mixture and it then was incubated, respectively, for 6 days (I-6), 12 days (I-12), and 18 days (I-18). At the end of incubation, sample of LOF was taken up and analysis for pH, N, P, K and C. It showed that pH of LOF at all treatments decreased from initial pH of cow urine. The performance of N and K content was different throughout incubation, at I-6, I-12, and I-18. There was no significant differences of C content of LOF among treatments of different LoM at I-6 and I-18 with the exception of I-12. Meanwhile C/N ratio of LOF with different sources of LoM and EM4 at I-6, I-12 were no significant different ranged from 7-12 and 8-11, respectively. There was significantly different of C/N ratio among treatments of different LoM and EM4 at I-18. The C/N ratio of LOF with EM4 as starter showed different performance. The C/N ratio of it increased at I-6 and I-12, but gradually decreased at I-18. The LoM generated from rotten fruits and vegetables was dominated by Lactobacillus sp. and have potential to be a starter in producing LOF. The quality of LOF was determined by the incubation periods, mainly at I-18. Therefore, further investigation on this matter is highly recommended.

“…At the same time, due to the effect of living microbial cells from biofertilizer, the uptake of heavy metals decreases (Lèvai et al 2008). Mosa et al (2014; considered biofertilization in fruit growing a healthy alternative and/or supplement to chemical fertilizers. Von-Bennewitz and Hlusek (2006) also found biofertilization to be a beneficial technique in stimulating growth and fruiting of pomes and stone fruits.…”

Intensive agricultural development based on the long-term and excessive use of chemical nitrogen fertilizers significantly contributes to a series of undesirable effects and results in environmental pollution. In line with the above, there is a pressing need for major changes in agricultural production management. Bearing in mind that fertilization strategy, among other practices, plays an important role in improving the growing technology of different fruit crops, we considered that the above mentioned problems could be overcome by introducing an environmentally safe and innovative practice inplum growing technology as well. Accordingly, a comparative study was conducted to evaluate the effects of biofertilizer (a combination of nitrogen-fixing and phosphorus-mineralizing bacteria including Azotobacter chroococcum, Bacillus megatherium and Bacillus subtilis) and chemical fertilizer (a water-soluble chemical fertilizer supplemented with the microelements B, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn)on ʻČačanska Lepoticaʼ and 'Stanley' plum cultivars. Morphometric characteristics (fruit weight, length and width), internal quality traits (soluble solids content and firmness) and chemical properties (total phenolic content and total antioxidant activity) of the fruit of the tested plum cultivars were assessed. The obtained results indicate that the substitution of chemical fertilization with biofertilization in 'Čačanska Lepotica' and 'Stanley' is a justified practice. Furthermore, this approach seems to havepotential as an appropriate technique in commercial plum production, which may improve yield-attributing characteristics and the phytochemical content of plum fruits.
