Figure 4 demonstrates significant differences between
the cultivar types, with the Barcelona cultivar yielding
a lower average of 41.7 fruits/plant compared to 44.3
fruits/plant in the Jawaher cultivar. Noticeable effects
were seen in the fertilizer types: Kinglife recorded
a higher average of 47.7 fruits/plant compared to
38.0 fruits/plant in Al-Nibras. Furthermore, spray
concentrations increased fruit production, with a
maximum average of 50.7 fruits/plant recorded in
the 9 g/L Al-Nibras/Kinglife across cultivars and
the lowest average of 35.5 fruits/plant observed in

with 3, 6, and 9 g/L Kinglife recorded the highest
average of 50.6 fruits/plant, the Barcelona cultivar
treated with Al-Nibras resulted in the lowest average
of 38.3 fruits/plant. On the other hand, the results of
the interaction between the type of cultivar and spray
concentration showed that the Jawaher cultivar with the
9 g/L Al-Nibras/Kinglife recorded the highest average
of 51.1 fruits/plant, compared to 34.2 fruits/plant in
the Barcelona cultivar control treatment. In addition,
the interaction between the type of fertilizer and spray
concentration demonstrated a significant effect. The
9 g/L Kinglife group recorded the highest average of
53.5 fruits per plant across cultivars, compared to the Figure 5. Effects of cultivar type, fertilizer type, and
