ملخص البحث

The vegetative growth and vigor as well as yield components and fruit quality of three fig cultivars, two introduced, namely Conadria and Kadota and the local one, Sultani were evaluated under upper Egypt conditions during three successive seasons, 2010, 2011 and 2012. The results of this study could be summarized as follow: There was a great variability in vegetative, vigor growth, yield components and fruit quality of these cultivars. Kadota fig trees cultivar surpassed in vegetative growth and vigor compared to either Conadria or Sultani trees cultivars. Kadota fig trees recorded the highest values of bud burst percentage, leaves number per shoot and annual pruning wood weight, whereas, Conadria fig trees gave the highest leaf area compared with other two cultivars. On other hand, Conadria fig trees cultivar was superior among the rest cultivars in producing the highest fruits number, and heaviest fruit and consequently the heaviest yield/tree. Moreover, Kadota fig cultivar was superior in chemical fruit properties, whereas Sultani fig cultivar had the least fruit quality compared to other two studied cultivars. Concerning the overall numerical evaluation data revealed that, Conadria and Kadota cultivars gained the highest degrees evaluation. It could be arranged these degrees in a descending order as follows 86.7, 81.3 and 52.3 units for Conadria, Kadota and Sultani fig trees cultivars, respectively, under Upper Egypt conditions. On the account of the present findings, it can be recommended to plant Conadria and Kadota fig cultivars under this condition to obtain the high yield with good fruit quality.
