Plant water status and leaf gas exchange as influenced by micronutrients, kaolin and water management
were studied to establish a relationship with fruit cracking in pomegranate in arid regions. Observations were
recorded on fruiting pomegranate trees that were maintained under different water status and leaf gas exchange
through mulching of tree basins and foliar spray of borax (0.4%), zinc sulphate (0.5%), kaolin (4.0%) with respect
to fruit cracking, LWP, RWC, stomatal conductance, transpiration, photosynthetic rate and difference between
ambient and leaf temperature of fruiting branch. The results showed that per cent fruit cracking was associated
with reduction in leaf water potential, stomatal conductance and leaf transpiration. Such a situation coupled
with high relative water content and photosynthetic rate as observed under combined sprays of borax (0.4%)
+ ZnSO4 (0.5%) and borax (0.4%) + ZnSO4 (0.5%)+ kaolin (4%) reflects the possible relationship of fruit cracking
with selected physiological parameters. Plant water status also influences leaf gas exchange parameters and
subsequently growth which may indirectly affect cracking in pomegranate fruits.
