Effect of Spraying Fenugreek Seed Sprout Extract and Some Nutrients on Fruiting of Keitte Mango Trees Grown under Aswan Region Conditions.

During 2013 and 2014 seasons Keitte mango trees subjecting four times to foliar application of fenugreek seed sprout at 0.5 to 2.0% singly or in various combinations with NPKMg at 0.5% and / or ZnFeMn at 0.05%. 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 fenugreek seed sprout at 0.5 to 2% either alone or in combination with macro and/ or micronutrients was very effective in enhancing growth traits, tree nutritional status, yield and fruit quality rather than non- application. The promotion was associated with increasing concentrations of fenugreek seed sprout. Using fenugreek seed sprout was superior than using all nutrients in this respect. Combined application of fenugreek seed sprout as well as macro and micronutrients was materially favourable than using each one alone in improving fruiting of such mango cv. The best results with regard to growth, tree nutritional status, yield and fruit quality of Keitte mango trees grown under Aswan region conditions were obtained due to using a mixture of fenugreek seed sprout at 1% besides NPKMgat 0.5% and Zn Fe Mn at 0.05% four times.
