Abstract
Mature apricot trees cv.’Amar’ were sprayed on 10th of January using three different dormancy breaking agents: zinc sulphate 5%, Dormex 1% (49% Hydrogen Cyanamide) and Urea5%. Zinc sulphate showed superiority over all other treatments included as it was more effective in advancing bud burst by 17 and 12 days compared to the control in the first and second season, respectively.
Moreover, it induced the highest bud opening percentage compared with the other two treatments or the control.
In addition, zinc sulphate significantly increased fruit set and yield.
Also zinc sulphate clearly increased fruit weight, diameter, firmness and T.S.S. meanwhile it decreased fruit acidity when compared with other treatments and control.
Concerning the effect of tested chemicals on powdery mildew disease severity of apricot, results showed that all the used materials decreased the disease severity percentage when compared with the untreated trees.
Zinc sulphate was the most effective in decreasing the infection with powdery mildew to 6.29 and 6.67% accompanied with a high yield/ tree in the first and second season, respectively.
