Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: The present study was conducted during the 2019 and 2020 seasons with the aim of studying the performance of nine seedling strains of dry date palm and comparing them with Bartamuda cv.located in Banban village, Daraw City, Aswan Governorate.Data showed that ninth, fifth, and first strains were superiorin leaf length compared to other strains and Bartamuda.The tallest leaflets were recorded in Bartatmuda, followed by the first and fifth seedling strains.Bartatmuda, followed by the first strain, resulted in the best results for the yield/ palm compared to other date palm for both seasons.Bartamuda, followed by the fourth and eighth strains were the highest in total sugars % of fruits compared to other strains.However, the highest values of the fruit weight were noticed with the sixth, eighth, third, and first strains compared to Bartamuda in the first and second seasons, respectively.Bartamuda was superior in terms of productivity and quality as it attained the uppermost score units (90/100) compared to other seedy strains in the same region.It can be concluded that some of seedling strains surpass Bartamuda in some of the fruit quality traits such as the third, fourth, eighth, and the first strains.
