Wonderful (Punica granatum L.). The trees were grown in newly reclaimed sandy soil located at the 64 km on the Cairo-Alexandria desert road, El-Behira Governorate, Egypt. The studied soil was treated with different levels of soil conditioner (polyacrylamide polymer) i.e. 500 and 1000 g/tree/two years, in addition to control (without polymer addition). Also, different levels of irrigation water were applied i.e. 70% (3610 m 3 /fed), 85% (4105 m 3 /fed) and 100% (4790 m 3 /fed) of ET o . The experiment was designed in a split plot with three replicates. Irrigation water levels were randomly arranged in the main-plots and the applied polymer treatments were distributed randomly in the sub-plots. Data revealed that using irrigation water level 85% of ET o gave, in general, the highest values of growth and yield indices compared to other treatments. Soil conditioner level at 1000 g/tree showed, also, the highest values, followed by 500 g/tree with significant difference between the studied treatments. The irrigation water treatment of 4105 m 3 /fed Original Research Article
