Abstract

2 Abstract: An experiment was carried out during 2011 and 2012 seasons to study the effect of foliar application by using some growth regulators (paclobutrazol at 300 ppm, gibberellic acid (GA ) at 80 ppm and NAA at 3 40 ppm) and mineral nutrients (3% Ca as calcium chloride (CaCl ), 0.3 % boron as boric acid and 0.3 % Zn as zinc 2 sulphate (ZnSO ) after two and eight weeks from full bloom on yield, fruit cracking% and quality in pomegranate 4 cultivar 'Manfalouty'. The extent of fruit cracking was reduced significantly with application of 300 ppm pacloputrazol, while grain %, fruit juice %, TSS % and acidity % were increased. Yield and fruit weight were increased with applying pacloputrazol or by using (3 % Ca + 0.3 % B + 0.3 % Zn). Application of 40 ppm NAA and 80 ppm GA significantly increased fruit length and fruit diameter. Application of 80 ppm GA significantly 33 increased total anthocyanin %, while tannins % was not affected by other two growth regulators.
