TI - Evaluation of garlic & onion oils and GA3 as breaking dormancy materials on yield and fruit quality of "Superior" grapes KW - Grapes KW - Dormancy in plants KW - Garlic KW - Onions KW - dormancy breaking KW - chemical constituents of plants N1 - Includes reference N2 - Garlic and Onion oils both at 5, 10 and 15 % and GA3 at 150, 200 and 250 ppm in comparison with dorrnex 5% (commercial application) were sprayed at 27 December, 5 January and 13 January on "Superior" grape. during 2006 and 2007 seasons .Evaluation of these materials as breaking dormancy agents included bud burst %, bud fertility %, total yield (Kg/vine), number of dusters Ivine, clusters weight (g) ,TSS % , acidity % , TSS/acid ratio, total carbohydrates%, total nitrogen%,and CI N ratio , It could be concluded that 15 % garlic oil and 5 %onion oil improved the previous studied characters especially bud burst % and bud fertility %in addition to increasing yield and fruit quality of "Superior" grape. On the other hand GA, at 150 ppm was not favorable treatment where it give similar effect as the control UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2008/JBCES/308/4/I/151.pdf ER -
