Influence of amino acids, bleed grape and seaweed extract on vegetative growth, yield and its quality of fig

Abstract: 

This study was conducted during the growing season of 2016 in a private orchard at AL-Abbasyia , Najaf Governorate on the local fig cv. Aswod Diala . The trees were sprayingwithamino acids(Amister and Gusto) at concentrations of 500 mg / L each other, Bleed of grape 100% and seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum at concentrations of 4% in single way or in combination at 15 march and 15 May,2016 . Results showed that sprayingwithamino acids ,bleed grape and seaweed extracttreatments and their interactions caused a significant increase percentage of leaf area ,total chlorophyll,length of shoots , percentage of carbohydrate in branches , percentage of nitrogen in branches , percentage of carbohydrate / nitrogen in branches , percentage of nitrogen in leaves, percentage of phosphor in leaves, percentage of potassium in leaves ,diameter of fruit , length of fruit , weightof fruit , percentage humidity of fruit , percentage dray matter of fruit, number of days to ripening ,percentage of total soluble sold , fruit firmnessand total yield of trees compared with control treatment . There were significant differences between above mentioned treatments. TheBleed of grape was more effective than amino acids(Amister and Gusto) and seaweed in that respect , but the combination of amino acids(Amister and Gusto) , Bleed of grape and seaweed gave the best results in the treatment ( Am + Gu+Bg + Bs) for the season of experiment.
