AB  - Theaim of present study was to determine the effects of four fungicide applicationson Heart rot caused by Alternaria spp at pomegranate fruits. Heart root causesdecay at pomegranate arils without obvious external symptoms. Slight change inshape and abnormal skin colour occur at infested fruits but it is highlydifficult to comprehend fruits on the tree and even in pack houses. Studiesconducted in 2015 on two different pomegranate orchards with Wonderful cv.located in Northern Cyprus. The experiment was planned in completely randomizedblock design and repeated in two orchards. Four replications were assigned foreach treatment and five plants were selected for each replication. The treatmentsof present study are: Control; Cupper oxide; Azoxystrobin; Boscalid +Pyraclostrobin; and Propiconazole + Difenoconazol. Two repeated applications ofcopper oxide were performed before flowering and two repeated applications ofother three fungicides performed during flowering and fruit set. Fruits of theeach replication were harvested by hand at commercial maturity. All fruits werecounted and put in different plastic creates and brought to pack house foranalysis. Thus, all fruits were cut to determine if disease exist. Number ofinfected fruits by heart rot was noted and data from the experiments weresubjected to the analysis of variance. Mean separations were done by usingTukey’s multiple range test at P < 0.05. Results showed that there is asignificant difference between the percent infestations of Heart rot in Orchard1 and Orchard 2. However, the effects of tested chemicals are found to besimilar in both orchards. According to the results obtained, as expected, thehighest Heart rot infestation was found to be at the control treatment with8.8% and the highest effect measured at Propiconazole + Difenoconazolapplication with only 2.4%. All treatments were found to be effective inreducing the infestations of Heart rot and significant differences weredetermined among the treatments. Percent infestation of Heart rot for Boscalid+ Pyraclostrobin, Copper oxide and Azoxystrobin applications were measured as3.7%, 4.2% and 6.9%, respectively.
