Abstract:

The present investigation was under taken during two successive (2002 and 2003 seasons) on mature fig trees planted on private farm of Ali Mubarak at Badr region, El-Behaira Governorate to evaluate growth and nutritional status of five fig cultivars namely: Conadria, Kadota, Black Mission, Gizi and Sultani. Kadota fig cultivar recorded the highest values from circumference of the tree trunk; annual net increase in circumference; diameter of tree canopy; weight of next winter pruned wood ; bud burst percentage; number of shoots per tree; number of nods per shoot; shoot diameter; number of leaves and leaf weight compared with other cultivars under similar conditions. Regarding foliar pigments (chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids) data revealed that Gizi blade had the highest values of chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids compared with other cultivars. With regard to leaf macroelements (N, P and K) and microelements (Fe, Mn and Zn) contents, data obtained during both seasons revealed that different trends were detected from cultivar to another.
