Abstract
This study was carried out during 2018 and 2019 seasons on 12- year- old Le Conte pear trees (Pyrus communis L.X Pyrus pyrifolia N.) budded on Pyrus betulaefolia rootstock, planted at 5 × 5 meters apart (168 trees / feddan) in sandy soil under drip irrigation system and grown at El-Kassasien Horticultural Research Station, Ismailia Governorate. This done aimed to benefit from Mo and Fe roles in improving le-conte pear trees productivity and fruit quality. The results indicate that the combinations between the two investigated elements reflected aposstive effect on yield and fruit quality than spraying with each component individually. The best result was achived with Mo at 0.5 cm/L combined with Fe at 3g/L as such treatment improved all studied parameters. The un sprayed trees were the inferior one in this respect.
