Abstract
The pomegranate trees Laffan and France cultivars were sprayed with chelated Boron and Potassium with ( 0,2.5,5 g/L K2O and 200,400 mg/L B) concentration. The spraying with Boron in 400 mg/L and Potassium with 5 g/L were significantly increased the fruits set percentage, yield, physical and chemical characteristics of two cultivars under study (The fruit set was 68.94% and 75.58 % respectively) while reduced in control to 54.95 % .The average of tree yield was (45.74 kg and 72.81 kg) and in the control was 18.59 kg. The fruit fresh weight was duplicate in this treatments, fruits content of total soluble solids was (16.82% ), total sugars was 8.68% total acidity reduced to 0.88% when in the control was (9.55%,4.9% and 1.2% ) respectively.- Article View: 80
