7- Fruit Acidity (%): Data in table (7) shows
that fruit acidity was not affected by NAA
application, whereas fruit acidity was reduced
significantly by foliar application of 0.2% KNO3
and 60ppm Fe as compared to the control. The
control treatments showed a significant higher
fruit acidity.The interactions of NAAKNO3,
NAAFe and KNO3Fe pointed that the

application of three treatments caused a
significant decrease in fruit acidity as compared
to control. Concerning the interactions of
NAA KNO3 Fe, shows that the lowest value
for fruit acidity (0.29%) was recorded in fruits
from the trees received 5ppm NAA 0.2%
KNO3 60ppm Fe, whereas the acidity of fruit
from the untreated trees was (0.40%).
