Abstract

This investigation was undertaken during two seasons of 1996 and 1997 on Williams banana (Musa sp < /em>) grown in loamy soil under drip irrigation in private orchard at Belkas near Mansoura, Dakahlia Governorate to study the effect of magnesium as soil or foliar fertilization on yield, fruit quality and leaf-nutrient contents.                 This study indicated that magnesium fertilizer at 60 or 120 gm MgSO4 /plant each alone as soil or foliar application at 2 % MgSO4 significant by increased the bunch weight throughout increasing both hand and finger weight than untreated plants. Also, these treatments increased the content of total carbohydrates and starch, but reduced total phenols content in pulp of bananas fruits. Magnesium treatments increased the content of nitrogen and magnesium but reduced the content of potassium and calcium in the leaves of banana plants compared with the control.
