Abstract

The study occurred in 2023 and 2024 on mango trees cv. keitt at Abo Ghaleb Road (Alexandria Desert Road, 68 km, Cairo, Egypt) in Giza Governorate, Egypt. In this study, examine the effects of foliar sprays of rocket , lupine and chickpea seed sprout extract at 0.2 %, 0.4 % and 0.6 % foliar spraying is done three times: the 1st week of March, the 3rd week of April, and the 3rd week of May during every season. The response of leaf area and chlorophyll reading, macro and micronutrients in leaves, yield, and fruit physical and chemical characteristics were used to assess the influence. The results indicated that spraying chickpea seed sprout extract at 0.6 % improved trees growth characteristics, nutritional status, yield , fruit physical and chemical properties. In addition, to evaluate the treatments efficiency, chickpea seed sprout extract at 0.6% raised the percentage the most of studied characteristics of keitt mango trees compared to untreated trees.
