Physiological Studies on Fig Plants (.Ficus Carica,L)

The present Resarch was ouitlined to study the growth and fruiting behaviour of sultani fig trees under the conditions of desert sandy soils, irrigated with low quality of ground water. Different types of shoots (twigs)of curent season’s wood on one year old wood or more (2,3 and more than 3 years)were studied a year round. Crrops of fig on different bearing wood types were also investigated through different cycles of growth. Moreover, percentage of DROPping fruits of each crop was also estimated through different stages of fruit of development. Theeffect of some treatments on the growth behaviour and fruit quality were also teseted i.e. leaf/fruit ratio and girdling.
