Abstract

This work was carried out through 2018 and 2019 seasons on "Anna" apple (Malus domestica). Trees were 5 years old, grown in sandy soil and planted at 2 x 3 meters apart under drip irrigation system. This investigation aimed to enhanced production and fruit quality of the Anna" apple (Malus domestica). Trees sprayed with Kaolin at 6%, potassium silicate at 3% and calcium carbonate at 3 % in three different spraying dates i.e. (first May -first June -first July). Results proved that spraying with potassium silicate at 3% + calcium carbonate at 3% at in first June spraying date treatment gave the highest leaf area, total chlorophyll, yield and fruit quality of Anna" apple tree. In addition, the interaction between reflective particles spraying treatments and spraying dates recorded significant highest values of Anna apple fruit parameters in both seasons. On the other hand, trees untreated recorded the lowest yield and fruit quality during two studied seasons.
