This experiment was carried out during 2009 and 2010 seasons in fields
cultivated with 10 years of Dan and Nebaly cultivars of olive trees in province
of Damascus to study the effect of foliar spray of to one of nitrogen (N), boron
(B) and zinc (Z
) on the leaf area, shoot length, number of flowers, leaves
content of mineral elements, fertilization. These elements were sprayed
individually or combined together four times during the growing season as
follows: nitrogen (5 g/l), boric acid (2g /l), zinc sulfate (2g/ l), nitrogen + boric
acid, nitrogen + zinc sulfate, Boric acid + Zinc sulfate, and nitrogen + boric acid
+ zinc sulphate) at the same rates in single spray.
The research experiment was carried out during the 2007, 2008 and 2009,
seasons on grape variety Al- Helawani (10 years old) to study the effect of
N.P.K. fertilization rates and the triple superphosphate (T.S.P) application
method on some fruits
characters and growth indicators. Three fertilization
N.P.K rates were used, rate 1 (75:25:50) kg/ ha, twofold and fourfold of rate 1,
in three replicates in addition to control. The application of (T.S.P) was on soil
surface and at 30 cm depth, the percent of leaf area, shoot length, the degree of
berry colour, berry firmness were calculated. The results showed a significant
increase of leaf area, shoot length and the Berry colour compared to control.
The third rate was the best for increasing the leaf area and shoot length, while
the first and second rates were increased the colour of Berry. At the same time,
there was a gradual significant decrease in Berry firmness compared to control
when the rate of fertilizer was increased. It was also noted a significant increase
in leaf area (11%) and shoot length (4.5%) in deep T.S.P application compared
to the surface application.
