N2  - Foliar spraying of gibberellic acid (GA₃) after harvest (picking) at different concentrations (10, 25, 50 and 100 ppm) and at two dates (July 1st and 15 st ) on apricot "Canino" trees, 5 years old grown in new reclaimed sandy soils. All treatments were perfonned for two successive seasons of 2005-2006 and 2006-2007. Foliar spraying of GAa at 10, 25 and 50 ppm and at both dates of July 1st and 15th after picking increased significantly yield/tree (kg) for both seasons following applications as compared to the control (unsprayed). All the concentrations of GA₃ at the two dates of spraying after picking increased significantly shoot length and fruit weight as compared with the control in the two seasons of the study. Generally, the chemical characteristics of fruits from treated trees did not differ significantly as compared with the untreated control
