Research Abstract

In recent years, the pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) has acquired wide acceptance due to the growing evidence that consumption is associated with beneficial health properties. The objective of this study was to compare some physical characteristics (fruit, peel and arils weight – fruit length and diameter) of three pomegranate cultivars grown in Egypt are named as Manfalouty, Hejazy and Nab-El-Gamal. The results showed significant differences in all measured characteristics of the pomegranate cultivars (otherwise fruit length between cultivars of each season).
