This study was carried out during 2020 and 2021 seasons, to investigate the effect of spraying jasmonic oil (1.5 ml/L or 3 ml/L) one time at the second week of May, and winter pruning leaving three levels of bud load/tree at 36, 48 or 60 bud/tree and their combination, on yield and fruit quality of “Abiad Aswan" fig cultivar.
Fig trees were grown at the experimental orchard of Pomology, Faculty of Agriculture, Assiut University.
The experiment was setted up as split-plot arrangement in a complete randomized block design, three replicates, one tree each, whereas bud load/tree was considered as whole plot (Factor A), and jasmonic concentrations were the split-plots (Factor B).
According to the obtained results, it was found that all treatments induced an improvement on yield, physical and chemical characteristics of “Abiad Aswan" fig cultivar.
