Abstract

The present study carried out during 2021 and 2022 seasons is to investigate the promotive effect of spraying Saidy date palm bunches with Micro-nutrients and Amino acids on yield and fruit physical and chemical characteristics. Bunches were sprayed with Micro-nutrients at 250,500 ppm or 1000 ppm and Amino acid at 5000-ppm. The Micro-nutrients and Amino acids were sprayed individually or in combination. Results indicated that all spray treatments significantly increased. The yield improved the physical and chemical characteristics of fruits compared with untreated bunches. Spraying bunches with Micro-nutrients at 500 or 1000 ppm alone or in combination with Amino acid at 5000 ppm was more effective in increasing the yield and improving physical and chemical fruits properties.
