| Abstract | ||||
| The effect of paclobutrazol (paZ) and zinc sulphate at 50.100,150 ppm and 2000,3000, 4000 ppm respectively on splitting, yield and fruit quality of Manfaluly pomegranate cultivar grown in clay soil for 2 seasons were studied. The treatments of zinc sulphate and pacJobutrazol were effedive in reducing the percentage of fruit splitting during 2001 and 2002 seasons. The signmcance difference was observed with using 150 ppm (p8Z) during the both seasons. Meanwhile yield/tree were nol affected but grains per fruit and percentage of juice reduced significantly differences when trees treated by paclobutrazol and zinc sulphate at 4000 ppm. Total soluble solids, acidity, total st.:gar and reducing sU9ar were increased directly as influenced by foliar sprays with zinc sulphate and paclobutrazol and the effect of the later was pronounced. | ||||
