Abstract EN

The present work was conducted in a private banana orchard located at Badawi district ,Mansoura Center, Dakahlia Governorate ,banana plants were cultivated3 x3.5 m during 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 growing seasons to study the effect of different irrigation water amount at either 100, 85 and 70% of crop evapotranspiration (ETc )and foliar spray with (glycine-betaine, proline; glycine-betaine + proline) under drip irrigation system in clay loam soils on vegetative growth measurements, bunch weight, yield, fruit quality and water use efficiency ,of first and second ratoons of Grand Nain banana plant .

The most important results can be summarized as follows: Applied irrigation water registered (7055, 5994 and 4939 m 3 / fed( in the first season and (7517, 6390 and 5262 m 3 / fed( in the second one, respectively.

Increasing irrigation water quantity increased banana growth characters of both seasons.

Glycinebetaine + proline and proline led to significant incremnts in most vegetative growth traits compared to control.

First level of water irrigation (100 % of ETc) with application of glycine-betaine + proline had the most significant effect on most vegetative growth characters, in both seasons of study.

No significant differences were defected in finger length or bunch length between different irrigation water regemes in both seasons.

Significant differences were found total yield lfed was increasedas aresalt of water regeme at 85% of ETe in both seasons.

Application of amino acids was significantly increased as a finger length , bunch length ,weight bunch and yield ton/fed .

compared with the control in both seasons .

The maximum value of total yield ton/fed.

was obtained when banana plants treated with glycine-betaine + proline under the 2nd level of irrigation (85 % ETc) in comparison with other treatments.

Also, average water utilization efficiency (WUtE) increased by using 85 % of ETc recorded (2.96 and 3.19 kg/m ,)3followed by 70 % of ETc 2.42 ( and 2.75 kg/m ,)3and 100 % of ETc treatments (2.26 and 2.45 kg/m )3in both seasons, respectively.

Generally, it could be concluded that glycine-betaine + proline application under water quantity of 85% of ETc was the best combination for high banana production and maximum water use efficiency in this study.
