Abstract

This study was conducted on 15 years old date palm Barhi cv. during the 2018 and 2019 experimental seasons. Such cv. is suffered fertilization failure growing in sandy soil in the Agricultural Research Station at Qassasin Ismailia Governorate, Egypt, to increase the proportion of fruit set and productivity by using sugar sucrose and boron solutions with different levels and their interaction under female inflorescence coverage and non-coverage conditions. Anyhow, the sugar levels (zero, 3, 5 and 7 grams/L) & Boron levels (zero, 100, 150 and 200 mg/L). Moreover, the pollen grains Guenami male date palm. Results indicated that the best concentration of each factor sugar & boron was 5 g/L and 150 mg /L, respectively. The best interaction between both factors was 5 g/L sugar + 150mg/L boron. Meanwhile, treatments covering gave the lowest values in the percentage of fruit set and productivity while spraying sugar and boron as well as covering the inflorescences immediately after pollination increased the percentage of fruit set, Productivity and fruit quality of Barhi date palm. Therefore, this can be recommended under the same conditions.
