| Abstract | ||||
| The field experiments were conducted during the two successive summer Seasons of 2002 and 2003 at Kafer EL-wekala , Sherbin, Oakahlia, Egypt, to study the effect of foliar nutrition of potassium citrate and Fe-chelate on growth and yield of eggplant, c.v. Black beauty. The experiment contained 9 treatments, which were the simple combination between 3 levels of potassium citrate (0, 1.5 and 3 gIL) and iron chelate (0, 1 and 2 gIL). The main findings obtained from this investigation showed that dry weight, leaf area, total chlorophyll, average fruit weight and number of fruits per plant as well as total yield per feddan were significantly increased by foliar application of 3 gIL of potassium citrate and 2 gIL of Fe-chelates. | ||||
