Abstract
The experimental trial was consummated throughout two successive seasons (2012 and 2013) at a commercial orchard at El-Khatatba city, Monifia Governorate, Egypt. It intended to find out the possibility of enhancing "Le Conte" pear trees productivity under local condition in the newly reclaimed lands. Thus, the individual and combined applications of bio-stimulant (EM) and soil amendment (NPK humate) applied as soil drench fourteen times at 2 weeks intervals commencing from first February till mid August to study their effect on vegetative growth, nutrient availability, yield and fruit quality of "Le Conte" pear trees. Results indicated that combined applications of bio-stimulant (EM) and soil amendment (NPK humate) were better than the individual applications, especially at the rate of 200 cm3 EM + 75 cm3 NPK humate/tree/year which showed the best significant effect on various estimated parameters under this study during both seasons.
