Epoxy-date palm fiber (DPF) composites have been synthesized and characterized successfully with various reinforced ratios of DPF (i.e., 5, 10, 15, 20 wt%), where the mixture Epoxy–DPF is poured into different prepared silicone molds. The first type silicon molds to produce samples conduct mechanical tests impact, creep, tensile). When ratio increased in Epoxy matrix, a significant improvement ...

date bunch fading (dbf) is a serious disease of date palm (phoenix dactelifera l.) in iran. fusarium proliferatum was isolated from the xylem of fruit bunch samples sent from kerman and fars provinces groves to the laboratory. koch’s postulates were completed in the greenhouse by crown injection and root inoculations. shriveling of the fruits was induced by peduncle inoculations. symptoms on th...

the effects of ensiling alhagi with waste date palm on rumen parameters and microbial protein synthesis in kermani sheep were investigated. 100 kg alhagi with 20 kg waste date palm were mixed and ensiled for 45 d. the experimental diets containing 0, 7, 14 and 21% alhagi with waste date palm silage. four male kermani rams were used in change over design with four 21-days period. ensiling alhagi...

life table of almond moth, cadra cautella walker was studied on four main dry and semi-dry date palm varieties (deyri, zahedi, piarom, and rabbi) of iran under laboratory conditions. data were analyzed based on the age-stage, two-sex life table theory. duration of total preadult stages was 42.54, 45.79, 51.48 and 50.41 days on deyri, zahedi, piarom, and rabbi, respectively. the highest fecundit...

In the present study, the seeds of two date palm (phoenix dactylifera L.) cultivars, Mazafati and Kalutah, were analyzed for their physical properties and chemical composition. Studies were also conducted on properties of oil extracted from the seeds and its fatty acid composition. The seeds constituted about 6-10% of the fruit weight. They, on the average, contained 4.84% protein, 12.22% fat, ...

The purpose of this research was identifying factors affecting the development of processing and complementary industries of date palm in Khouzestan province. The method of research was causal comparative. The population of this research was managers in processing and complementary industries of date palm products of Khouzestan province (N=100). The return rate was 94% (N=94). By census method...

The use of date palm fiber (DPF) as natural in concrete and mortar continues to gain acceptability due its low-cost availability. However, the main disadvantage DPF cement-based composites is that it reduces compressive strength increases porosity composite. Hence, for be efficiently used concrete, negative effects must counteracted. Therefore, this study, silica fume was employed supplementary...
