Abstract

This investigation is clarifying the effect of vermicompost tea by foliar application or by adding it to the soil, either separately or in combination form, on the physical and chemical properties of pomegranate (cv. Manfalouty) fruits during two successive seasons, 2019 and 2020. Trees were treated with the vermicompost tea application by spraying fruits and leaves or adding them to the soil at a distance of 50 cm from the trunk of the tree, or a combination thereof, three times a year; the first one in the middle of July (after fruit set), the second after a month of the first application, and the last one after a month of the second. The results demonstrated that all treatments achieved the increment and improvement of all parameters compared with the control, while the treatment that included a combination of foliar application and adding to the soil gave the best effectiveness compared with the other treatments in the two successive seasons. It was also noted that the physical and chemical properties of fruits were better in the second season compared with the first, which was due to the accumulation of the effect of vermicompost in the soil. So the recommendation of this study is to use vermicompost either spray the trees or add to the soil. Both had a positive impact on fruits, while the best effect is to use a combination of both.
