Abstract
This study in a private orchard at Zardak village in the Altun Kupri district, Kirkuk Governorate,
Iraq on 27 of the "Khalobaziani" local fig trees was conducted in 2021. The trees were sprayed
with Moringa leaves extract (MLE) at (0, 2, and 4 ml.L-1) and Garlic cloves extract (GCE) at (0,
10 and 20 ml.L-1) until complete wetness. Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) was
utilized within the factorial experiments with two factors with three replicates. Results showed that
trees sprayed with all concentrations of both extracts caused an increase in the diameter of the fruit
more than in the control fruits. Significant differences in all properties studied were observed in
the fruits sprayed with 2 and 4 ml.L-1 of MLE and 10 and 20 ml.L-1 of GCE they significantly
distinguished over the control treatment in the fruit moisture content, TSS, TSS/TA ratio, glucose,
fructose, vitamin C and pH. while the control treatment recorded the lowest fruit moisture content,
TSS, TSS/TA ratio, glucose and fructose content, vitamin C, and pH. Moreover, a significant
decrease in fruits TA content was found due to spraying with MLE or GCE compared to the control
treatment
