Abstract:
The experiment was conducted during two years (2021-2022) on peach trees (Michelin cv.) in Kassab research station of scientific agricultural research center – Latakia governorate to study the impact of potassium silicate (3 and 5 g/L) and potassium humate (2 and 4 g/L) foliar application on some traits of vegetative growth on peach (Michelin cv.) trees. The experiment showed that the application with potassium humate (4 g/L) potassium humate gave the highest values in terms of length and diameter of shoots, leaf area, and percentage of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contents on leaves. All foliar application treatments also improved the percentage of total chlorophyll in leaves compared to control trees.
Key words: Peach, Foliar application, Potassium silicate, Potassium humate
