Response of Ewaise Mango Trees to Foliar Spray with Egyptian Clover and Fenugreek Seed Sprout Extract under Aswan Conditions

Abstract

During 2019 and 2020 seasons Ewaise mango trees were subjected three times to foliar application of Egyptian clover and fenugreek seed sprout extract at 0.25 to 1.0%. The study focused on the impact of these treatments on growth, nutritional status of the trees, yield as well as physical and chemical characteristics of the fruits.Spraying Egyptian clover and fenugreek seed sprout extract at 0.25 to 1.0% was effective in enhancing growth traits, tree nutritional status, yield and fruit quality rather than non-application ones. The promotion was associated with increasing concentrations of extract used. Using fenugreek seed sprout extract was superior than using Egyptian clover seed sprout extract in this respect. No significant differences were seen due to increase in the concentration of used extracts. From the economic point of view, use the extracts of 0.5% are preferable.The best results concerning to growth, tree nutritional status, yield and fruit quality of Ewaise mango trees grown under Aswan region conditions were obtained due to use Egyptian clover or fenugreek seed sprout extracts at 0.5% three times.
