| Abstract | ||
| During 2015 and 2016 seasons Keitte mango trees grown under Aswan climatic conditions were treated with glutathione and/or boric acid each at 0.025 to 0.1%. The merit was examining the effect of these treatments on growth, nutritional status, yield and quality of the fruits. The trees received three sprays on March, April and May. Treating the trees three times with glutathione and/or boric acid each at 0.025 to 0.1% materially was accompanied with stimulating the leaf area, total chlorophylls, N, P, K, fruit retention%, yield as well as physical and chemical characteristics of the fruits relative to the control treatment. The promotion was related to the increase in concentrations. Combined applications were superior than using each material alone. Using boric acid was superior than glutathione in this respect. Treating Keitte mango trees three times with a mixture of glutathione and boric acid each at 0.05% was necessary for producing higher yield and better fruit quality. | ||
