Abstract
The current work aims to integrate LITHOVIT with nano-titanium to enhance the date palm tissue culture micro-propagation technique.Titanium (Ti) significantly impacts plants biologically. At low concentrations, Ti is beneficial, but at large ones, it is harmful.To feed explants with a medium at different stages of tissue culture propagation of the Khalas Date palm variety (Phoenix dactylifera) (L.), buds explants were inoculated on MS medium + 0.1 mg/l of (IAA) + varying levels of LITHOVIT (organic fertiliser) and Nano-Titanium Dioxide (nano fertiliser).Morphological statistics reveal that the addition of LITHOVIT (0.75 g/l) has the highest significant number with Nano-Titanium Dioxide (2 ppm) in the (leaf length, leaf number/explant, root number/explant, and root length). On the other hand, chemical statistical analyses show that LITHOVIT (0.75 g/l) and Nano-Titanium Dioxide (2 ppm) are significant for total sugar and Indols. Still, LITHOVIT (1 g/l) without Nano-Titanium Dioxide has the highest significant number for total phenols.
