Effect of Pollination Time on DateYield and Quality of Mishrig Wad Khateeb and Barakawi in Northern Sudan

Marium A. Elhasan and Fatima A. Ahmed

Abstract:

The experiments were conducted in the Horticulture nursery and a farmer’s orchard at Elgureir for two and three seasons on Mishrig Wad Khateeb (MWK) and Barakawi palms, respectively, with the objective of determining the optimum time for pollination in the two cultivars. The results showed that the best time for pollination was 4-5 days after spathe opening in Barakawi and 3-5 days after spathe opening in (MWK), which gave fruits with best characteristics of shape, size, weight, bulb/seed ratio and higher yield.
