The experience was carried out at Abi-Jarash farm, Faculty of Agriculture,
Damascus University during the 2012 - 2013 growing season. During plant
growth, three fertilization treatments were applied (mineral, T1 organic, T2
and a combined of miner
al and organic fertilizers, T3). At harvesting, roots
were packed in three different ways (box, perforated polyethylene bags and
non-perforated polyethylene bags) and stored in 4-5˚C and RH 90% for 94
days.
The research was conducted in village Habbet in Hafa (Lattakia region) 300 meters above
sea level during the period of 2016-2017 the plant material of the research is red cabbage
Ruby King F1 hybrid in order to study the effect of planting date on
growth and
productivity of red cabbage. The study consisted of five different planting dates during the
med of May, June, July, August and ,September months The completely randomized block
design was used with four replications and twenty plants in replication . The study contains
indicators: )leaf surface area, shape, volume, solidity and weight of cabbage heads, inner
stem length, total and marketable yield, percentage of marketable yield and content of
vitamin C)
The results showed that planting treatment during August and September gave the superior
results with significant difference in vegetative and productive indicators: leaf surface area,
solidity and weight of cabbage heads, total yield )3394.8، 3654( kg/d respectively,
marketable yield and percentage of marketable yield.
While The planting during May, June, July was superior on content of vitamin C which
was respectively (99.58, 98.68, 97.82 ( ml/100g with significant difference.
The experiment was conducted during the two seasons (2015 , 2016 ) on the Lemon trees
cv (Meyer ) aiming at studying the effect of the foliar spraying with the nutrients ( boron ,
zinc and iron ) on physical and chemical properties of the fruits Th
ese nutrients were
sprayed separately or as a mixture .
The average of each of the physical properties of the fruit (length , width , firmness,
volume and weight of the fruit ) , in addition to rind thickness and the fruits ` juice volume,
,the chemical properties of the fruit juice (total soluble solids, total sugars, total acidity,
vitamin C) were studied. An increase was observed in all the studied parameters in the
sprayed treatments compared to the control from( 6.37%- 3.33% -0.37% -
34.57mg%)to(9.33% -4.88% -1.89% -43.5%) in the first season and( 9.75% 5.87- 3.32% -
45%) in the second season, respectively. As a result of the statistical analysis, there were
significant differences between all the studied treatments and the control with overpass of
the treatment of the three elements (iron chelate + boron oxide + zinc chelate ) of all
treatments in the most of the studied figures in both seasons. Statistical analysis of the fruit
rind thickness showed the absence of the significant differences among the studied
treatments.
