Results showed that spraying with seaweed Navel Kelp , Trust–Rumor and extract of seed Fenugreek treatments and their interactions caused a significant increase percentage of leaf area ,leaf moisture , total chlorophyll , length of shoots ,number of node ,length of internodes , percentage humidity of fruit , fruit firmness , percentage of total soluble sold , Vitamin C, Calcium pictate and antioxidant capacity compared with control treatment . There was significant differences between above mentioned treatments . seaweed Navel Kelp was more effective than Trust–Rumor in that respect , but the combination of Navel Kelp , seaweed and extract of seed Fenugreek gave the best results in the treatment (seaweed Navel Kelp 4%+ Trust–Rumor 4% + Fenugreek 50% ) for the second crop
