Abstract
A field trial was carried out during two successive seasons 2018 and 2019 in sandy soil by drenching soil around Zaghloul date palm trees (One meter away from the trunk) with micronutrients compound and amino acids at different levels for evaluating their effect on the productivity and fruits quality of Zaghloul date palm trees. The palms supplied with 120 g micronutrients + 150 ml amino acids/palm/year (T9) showed the more pronounced effect above all estimated parameters compared to other treatments or the control during this study; hence, it enhanced percentages of fruit set, retained fruit, chlorophyll in leaflets and nutrient uptake which reflect on increasing bunch weight and yield per palm. Likewise, it improved fruit quality and retained its properties well for 3 days during shelf life after harvest.
