Abstract

The present investigation was carried out during 2017 and 2018 seasons. Barhee date palms grown under Aswan region conditions and produced via tissue culture received three sprays of four plant extracts namely oils of moringa, garlic and onion and extract of green tea each at 0.05 to 0.2%. The merit was elucidating the effect of these plant extracts on fruiting setting, yield and fruit quality. Carrying out three sprays of moringa oil, garlic oil, onion oil and green tea extract each 0.05 to 0.2% had an announced promotion on fruiting setting, yield and fruit quality relative to the control treatment. Using plant extracts of green tea extract, moringa, onion oil and garlic oil in ascending order was very effective in promoting fruiting setting, yield and fruit quality.
Meaningless stimulation on these characteristics were observed among the higher two concentrations of each plant extracts namely 0.1 and 0.2% for promoting on fruiting setting, yield and fruit quality of Barhee date palms, it is suggested to spray garlic oil at 0.1% three times (first week of March, just after fruit setting (middle of April) and one month later (middle of May).
