Effect of Mepiquat Chloride, Ammonium Nitrate and Seaweed Extracts on Yield and Chemical Properties of Manfalouti Pomegranate Cultivar

The current study examined the effects of ammonium nitrate, seaweed extract, and mepiquat chloride on the yield and fruit quality of Manfalouti pomegranates during the 2023 and 2024 growing seasons. This study studied the effects of three distinct chemical compounds on yield and fruit quality of Manfalouty Pomegranate cultivar grown under Assiut climatic conditions. The greatest increase in the number of fruits per tree and total yield weight was observed when seaweed extract was applied at rates of 2, 4, and 1%. According to the current study, seaweed extract improves fruit's chemical properties and yield component.
