Microponic - female cultivar - date palm - fruit weight.Abstract
This study was conducted during the 2023 growing season at the palms Akkad station in Shatrah District, affiliated with the General Authority for Palms - Ministry of Agriculture, to study the effect of spraying with Microponic at four concentrations (0, 0.5 , 1, and 1.5 ) ml L-1 and the female cultivar resulting from tissue culture (Barhi and Hilali) and the interaction between them in some physical characteristics of date palms. The results showed the following: Spraying with different concentrations of Microponic and the female cultivar had a significant effect in improving the physical characteristics of the fruits during the khalal stage, and the spraying treatment with Microponic at a concentration of 1 ml L-1 significantly achieved the highest averages for: (fruit weight, core , fruit size and diameter) reaching (14.42 and 13.51) g fruit-1 , 13.19 cm3 fruit-1 and 2.650 cm.fruit-1, respectively, for the khalal stage.
The Hilali cultivar was significantly superior in giving the highest averages of fruit weight, core , fruit size, and diameter reaching (16.16 and 15.24) gm fruit-1, 15.08 cm3 fruit-1, and 2.835 gm fruit-1), respectively, in the Khalal stage. As for the effect of the interference treatments, it was significantly superior to the interference treatment between Microponic at a concentration of 1 ml L-1 and the Al-Hilali cultivar gave the highest averages for (fruit weight, core, fruit size and diameter) reaching ( 17.36 and 16.40 ) g. fruit-1 and 16.27 cm3 fruit-1 and 2.927 cm , respectively.
