Abstract
This study was conducted throughout the two successive seasons of 2018 and 2019 at Fruit Nursery of Horticulture Department, Faculty of Agriculture at Moshtohor, Benha University Qalubia Governorate, Egypt., to study the impact of some natural treatments, i.e., Algae, Yeast extract, Moringa leaves extract and nutrients as compound that containing both macro (N, P, K) and micro (Fe, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cu) elements and compound containing macro and microelements and some growth regulators. These materials (natural extracts and nutrients) were applied as a foliar spray at different concentrations to evaluate their effect on different growth parameters of one year old Washington navel orange transplants budded on sour orange rootstock. These materials were applied once in a month started from the last week in April to the last week in September .as per the treatment as: Blue-green algae extract (1, 2 and 3 ml/L), Yeast extract (10, 20 and 30 ml/L), Moringa leaves extract (2.5, 5 and 7.5 g/L). Nitro active 20: 20: 20 (commercial grade) (0.5, 1 and 1.5 g/L) and Estima green (commercial grade) (0.5, 1 and 1.5 g/L). The result indicated that the application of Blue-green algae at 3 ml/L and Estima green at 0.5g/L cause a significant increase in the different growth parameters under this study i.e., length, diameter, number of leaves, leaf area, fresh and dry weights. On the contrary, the least values of the abovementioned parameters were usually in concomitant to T1 - control (water sprayed) which ranked statistically last during both seasons of study.
