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

The research\nwas carried out during the agricultural seasons of 2017 and 2018 at a private\nfarm in Deir Al-Zour on watermelon plants (Citrullus lanatus <\/em>L.) Niagara\nvariety to study the effect of using different concentrations of Huzone\nnutrients (0, 2, 4 and 6 cm3<\/sup>\/L per plant), at a rate of three sprays,\nthe first spray was accompanied at the stage of 2nd<\/sup>  leaf formation, and the second was at the\nbeginning of fruit stage formation, while the third spray was  two weeks before fruits maturity. The pruning\nmethods were (Method A: Pruning the plants to three stems while keeping one\nfruit on each stem, the second method B: Pruning the plants to four stems while\nkeeping the one fruit on each stem, and the third method was pruning the plant to\nfive stems and keeping one fruit on each stem, besides the control (without\npruning). Randomized Complete Block Design RCBD was used with three replicates\nper treatment. The results showed that there was a significant effect of\npruning and Huzone nutrient on all studied traits. The control (without\npruning) which treated with a concentration of 4 cm3<\/sup>\/L achieved the\nhighest value in the number of leaves, and reached 231-234 leaves\/plants for\nthe first and second seasons respectively. The highest value of the leaf area\nwhen using the pruning method on three branches and spraying with a concentration\nof (4 cm3<\/sup>\/L) gave a value of (3131-3120 cm2<\/sup>) for the\nfirst and second seasons respectively. The interaction between spray and\npruning significantly affected the number of days to flowering, where this\ntrait decreased when using 4 cm3<\/sup>\/L of Huzone with the pruning method\non three branches compared to the other treatments. The number of male flowers\ndecreased in the plants which pruned on three branches and sprayed with a\nconcentration of 4  cm3<\/sup>\/L of\nHuzone, where the number of male flowers was (18.4-20.9 flower\/ plant) for the\nfirst and second seasons respectively compared to the control and other\nconcentrations. In terms of the number of female flowers, it increased at\npruning on three branches and by adding a concentration of 4 cm 3\/L (13.93-15.2)\ncompared with the control and other concentrations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
