Effects of Superabsorbents on Growth and Physiological Responses of Date Palm Seedling under Water Deficit Conditions
Irrigation is an inevitable part of agriculture which determines crop yield and thus food security. In modern era of agriculture, crop yield is determined on the basis of crop production per unit of water-use instead of crop production per land unit area. Deficit irrigation is introduced as a strategy for controlling water resources that leads to water resource preservation. Date palm requires...
متن کاملEffect of X-irradiation on date palm seed germination and seedling growth
This study was conducted to examine the effect of low doses of X-rays on date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L., cv. Khalas) seed germination and seedling growth. A significant reduction in seed germination was observed in response to X-irradiation as compared to the non-irradiated control. A significant reduction in seed germination percentage (82.85%) began at 0.25 Gy of X-rays and persisted to de...
متن کاملThe Domestication Syndrome in Phoenix dactylifera Seeds: Toward the Identification of Wild Date Palm Populations
Investigating crop origins is a priority to understand the evolution of plants under domestication, develop strategies for conservation and valorization of agrobiodiversity and acquire fundamental knowledge for cultivar improvement. The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) belongs to the genus Phoenix, which comprises 14 species morphologically very close, sometimes hardly distinguishable. It has...
متن کاملAl-Ayedh: Rearing the Red Date Palm Weevil 353 EVALUATION OF DATE PALM CULTIVARS FOR REARING THE RED DATE PALM WEEVIL, RHYNCHOPHORUS FERRUGINEUS (COLEOPTERA: CURCULIONIDAE)
Development of red date palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) was evaluated on 4 popular cultivars of date palm, viz., ‘Khalas’, ‘Sukkary’, ‘Khasab’, and ‘Sillaj’ for 2 consecutive generations. The weevils reared on ‘Sukkary’ showed significantly better growth expressed in most parameters such as length, width and weight at larval, pupal and adult stages. Significantly greater numbers...
متن کاملArborescent palm seed morphology and seedling distribution.
This study examines how the seed morphology of two large arborescent palms, Attalea maripa (Aubl.) Mart. and Astrocaryum aculeatum G. Mey, may affect their seed shadow in a seasonally dry Amazonian forest. In addition to being smaller and produced in larger numbers than those of A. aculeatum, A. maripa seeds also presented a substantially lower amount of nutritional reserves available for the e...
