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.
