Abstract

The goal of this study was to determine the effectiveness of exogenous application of some chemicals [Salicylic acid (SA; 200 and 400 mg/l), Ascorbic acid (AA; 1000 and 2000 mg/l), Proline (Pro; 100 and 200 mg/l), and Sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS; 250 and 500 M)] as well as planting distances (10 and 50 meters off the freeway) in alleviating air pollutants stress on "Le Conte" productivity and fruit quality of pears. During the 2019 & 2020 seasons, a study was accomplished at the 6th of October Agriculture Company. SA, AA, proline, and NaHS had a positive effect on reducing the fruit heavy metal content for the pear trees under stress. Also, SA (400 mg/l), AA, Pro (100 mg/l), and NaHS (500 μM) treatments were very helpful in increasing the tolerance index for air pollution (APTI) in pear leaves. Exogenous application of Pro, SA (200 mg/l), and AA (2000 mg/l) increased Pro in leaves. Pear trees' yield, fruit firmness, TSS, TSS/acid, V.C., total sugars, total phenolics, antioxidants, peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase were increased. Fruit from trees planted at 10 m deferred in ripening and had higher total phenolics, antioxidants, peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase.
