| Abstract | ||
| Two field experiments were conducted at Private Farm in Wadi Al-Natroun Distrect, Beheira Governorate, Egypt during Winter seasons of 2016/2017 and 2017/2018, to study the effect of some natural foliar applications, i.e., fulvic acid (20 ml/l), effective microorganisms (5 ml/l),yeast extract (25 ml/l), humic acid (2 g/l), brassinolide (5 mg/l) and chitosan (200 mg/l) on vegetative growth, pod yield and quality of snow pea cultivar “Snow Wind” and sugar snap pea cultivar “Sugar Snap”. The results showed that Sugar Snap cultivar surpassed Snow Wind cultivar in all studied traits, except for number of pods/plant, pod length, pod diameter and protein content. However, all studied natural substances significantly increased vegetative growth, pod yield and pod quality compared with control in both seasons. Foliar applications can be arranged in decreasing order as follows: fulvic acid > effective microorganisms > humic acid > yeast extract > brassinolide > chitosan. | ||
