Abstract
Pollination is a critical process in date palms production series that affect yield and fruit quality. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different pollination methods (dusty pollen grain powder immediately after spraying with proline plus either citric acid, ascorbic acid or sugar solution) on yield and fruit quality of Barhy date palm. This study was conducted at El- Mataana Experimental Res. Station Hort. Res. Instit., Agric. Res. Center Esna district Luxor governorate, Egypt during 2021, 2022 and 2023 seasons.Results showed that most beneficial treatment in this concern due to dusty female spathes with 20% pollen grains powder immediately after spraying with proline plus either citric acid or sugar solution) which gave economical yield with good fruit quality. Moreover, it improve the pollination efficiency where to save time, effort, labour and cost and more practical to it is a promising technique in the future.Key words: Barhy date palm, pollen grain suspension, pollination, fruit quality.
