Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nresearch was carried out during 2017 and 2018 at a private farm in Deir Al-Zour\nin Agawat area on red watermelon (Citrullus<\/em> lanatus<\/em> L.) Niagara\ncultivar. The aim was to study the effect of different methods of pruning and foliar\nspray with nutritious solution on the quality of watermelons fruit by using\ndifferent concentrations of the nutrient solution (Husone) (0, 2, 4 and 6) cm3<\/sup>\\l\nper plant. The first time of spray was at the second real leaf formation, and\nthe second spray was at the beginning of , while the third application was\nbefore two weeks of fruits maturity. Four pruning methods were followed, the\nfirst (A) was to keep three stems per plant and keep one fruit in each stem, the\nsecond (B)  was to keep four stems per\nplant and keep one fruit in each stem, the third (C) was to keep five stems per\nplant and keep one fruit in each stem, and the control (without pruning). The\nexperiment was laid out according to RCBD (factorial) with four replications. The\nresults showed  <\/strong>that there was a significant\neffect of pruning and Husone concentration in all studied traits. The control\n(without pruning) and the concentration of 0 cm3<\/sup>\/L achieved the\nhighest percentage of moisture in the fruits, which attained (94-93.6%) for the\nfirst and second seasons respectively, while the lowest value was when the\nplants pruned with four branches and sprayed with a concentration of 6 cm \/L of\nHusone. The highest value of soluble solids was achieved when using the pruning\nmethod (A) with a concentrations of (4 and 6) cm3<\/sup>\/L for the first\nand second seasons, while the lowest value was attained in the control which\nwas not sprayed with Husone and reached (0.10 and 0.11%) for the first and\nsecond seasons, respectively. The results showed that the interaction between\nthe pruning and Husone concentrations had a clear effect on the content of\nascorbic acid in fruits, which reached the highest content when using the pruning\nmethod (A) with a concentration of 6 cm3<\/sup>\/L (9 and  9.8 mg\/100 g) for the first and second seasons\nrespectively. The values \u200b\u200bdecreased significantly in the control which was not\nsprayed with Husone. The highest fruit weight was achieved when using the pruning\nmethod (A) with a concentration of 4 cm3<\/sup>\/L (9 and  10.7 Kg\/fruit) for the first and second\nseasons respectively. while the lowest value was attained in the control which\nwas not sprayed with Husone and reached (4.4 and 5 Kg\/fruit) for the first and\nsecond seasons, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
