Response of Superior Grapevines Grown Under Minia Region Conditions to Spraying Wheat Seed Sprout Extract and Nano-boron
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: This investigation was conducted over two seasons of 2016 and 2017to elucidate the impact of single and combined applications of wheat seedsprout at 0.5 to 2% and nano-boron at 0.025 to 0.1 % in fruiting of Superiorgrapevines. The selected vines received three sprays at growth start, just afterberry setting and one month later. Carrying out three sprays of wheat seedsprout at 0.5 to 2 % and/or nano-boron at 0.025 to 0.1% substantiallyimproved main shoot length, surface area, N, P, K, B, yield, cluster weight anddimensions, berry weight, while reduced shot berries % and total acidity %relative to the control treatment. The promotion on growth, yield and berriesquality was in proportional to the increase in concentrations of wheat seedsprout and nano-boron. A slight effect on these parameters was observed withincreasing concentrations of wheat seed sprout from 1 to 2 % and nano-boronfrom 0.05 to 0.1 %. Using wheat seed sprout extract was preferable than usingnano-boron in this respect. Combined application was superior than using eachmaterial alone in this connection. Carrying out three sprays at growth start,just after berry setting and one month later of a mixture of wheat seed sprout at1% and nano-boron at 0.05 % was necessary for promoting yield and berriesquality and at the same time reducing shoot berries of Superior grapevinesgrown under Minia region.
