Nowadays, the production of new mango cultivars is increased in many countries worldwide. The soil application of hydrogel represents a novel approach in the fruit trees industry. This investigation aims to study the effect of adding hydrogel (as soil conditioner) on the growth and yield of Shelly cv. mango trees. The experimental groups were assigned to a control group and three other treated groups, including 250, 500, or 750 g hydrogel∙tree. The results demonstrated that all applications of hydrogel composite had higher vegetative growth parameters, yield, and fruit quality characteristics of Shelly cv. mango trees compared to the control. The treatment of 750 g hydrogel∙tree had higher values of vegetative growth parameters such as the leaf area, shoot length and tree canopy volume, compared to the control group and the other treatments. Similarly, higher values for yield and fruit quality were observed in the treatment of 750 g hydrogel∙tree. In conclusion, different amounts of hydrogel agent can improve the production and fruit quality of Shelly cv. mango trees in arid and semi-arid conditions in a dose-dependent manner.
如今，全球许多国家都在增加新芒果品种的培育。在果树种植行业，水凝胶的土壤施用是一种新方法。本研究旨在探讨添加水凝胶（作为土壤改良剂）对雪莉品种芒果树生长和产量的影响。实验分组包括一个对照组和其他三个处理组，分别施用250、500或750克水凝胶/棵树。结果表明，与对照组相比，所有水凝胶复合物处理的雪莉品种芒果树营养生长参数、产量和果实品质特征均更高。与对照组和其他处理相比，施用750克水凝胶/棵树的处理组在叶面积、新梢长度和树冠体积等营养生长参数方面具有更高的值。同样，施用750克水凝胶/棵树的处理组在产量和果实品质方面也有更高的值。总之，在干旱和半干旱条件下，不同用量的水凝胶剂可以剂量依赖性地提高雪莉品种芒果树的产量和果实品质。
