Abstract

The present study during seasons in 2022 to study the extracts effect of moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaves at (2-, 4-, and 6-ml l-1), garlic (Allium sativum) cloves (5, 10, and 15 ml l-1), and turmeric (Curcuma longa) at (5, 10, and 15 ml l-1) sprayers on Salakhani pomegranate. Thirty uniform trees were selected, and each tree was considered as an experimental unit using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates. The results showed that spraying pomegranate trees with moringa leaves extract with 2 and 6 ml l-1 and all doses of turmeric extract significantly increased surface area and dry weight of leaf, except 6-ml L-1 and 15 ml l-1 of morenga leaves extract of turmeric extract increased leaf dry weight non-significantly compared to the control. As well as all garlic clove extract levels increased the surface area and dry weight of the leaf significantly compared to the control. Moreover, all plant extract treatments were effective in increasing the number of fruits and yield per tree compared to the control. Additionally, most plant extract treatments improved all chemical parameters including total soluble solids, titratable acidity, pH, total sugar, and anthocyanin content as compared to the control.
