Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This study was conducted during 2019 on orange trees navel variety located in Al_Shir village in Lattakia, in aim of studying the effect of growth regulator naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) at (10, 20 PPM) concentrations and boron element(borax) at concentrations (0.05, 0.1%) singly and mixed, on physical and chemical fruits properties, The experiment was designed according to a complete randomized design with 7 treatments and 5 replicates for each treatment, The results showed that All applied treatments resulted in improve the fruits’ quality by improving some physical characteristics such as skin thickness (6.16 mm at 0.05% boron) and fruit shape, in addition to improving the juice content chemically as increasing soluble solids percentage (12.37% at 20 PPM NAA) and vitamin C (48.624 mg \/ 100 mL juice at 20 PPM of NAA), in addition, to increase in the ripeness factor value(14.502 at concentration of 10 PPM from NAA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keywords : Washington navel, Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA), Boron, Physical And Chemical Properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Full paper in Arabic:<\/strong>\u00a0PDF<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Raed Jafar* (1) , Fahed Sahuni (2), Ali Deeb (1) (1).
