EFFECT OF SPRAYING EXTRACTS OF ROCKET AND FENUGREEK SEED SPROUTS ON YIELD AND QUALITY OF FLAME SEEDLESS GRAPEVINES

This study was carried out during 2015 and 2016 seasons at Samalout district, Minia Governorate to study the effect of spraying extracts of rocket and fenugreek seed sprouts each at 0.5 to 2% on growth aspects, vine nutritional status, berry setting (%), yield, berries colouration (%) and berries quality of Flame seedless grapevines. Treating the vines three times with rocket or fenugreek seed sprouts extracts each at 0.5 to 2% resulted in an obvious promotion on all growth aspects, leaf pigments and nutrients, berry setting (%), yield, berries colouration (%) and berries quality relative to the control treatment. The promotion was related to the increase in the concentration of rocket and fenugreek seed sprouts extracts. The investigated parameters were unaffected with increasing concentration from 1.0 to 2.0 (%) from each material. Fenugreek seed sprouts was superior than using rocket seed sprout in this respect. Carrying out four sprays of extract of fenugreek seed sprouts at 1.0% was responsible for improving yield and berries quality of Flame seedless grapevines.
