Fruit thinning on �??Khalas�?? and �??Barhi�?? date palm cultivars in Al Kuwaitet research station in United Arab Emirates
2017
Fruit thinning was applied in March and April 2016 on �??Khalas�?? and �??Barhi�?? date palm cultivars in El Kuwaitet Research Station Al Ain (UAE) on 4 date palm trees from each cultivar compared to the same trees number as control. Two fruit thinning techniques were applied: cutting the length of spikelet�??s and cutting some of strands in the bunch. From each bunch 25% of total number of fruits was removed from the bunch. �??Khalas�?? cultivar showed better results with the first fruit thinning technique by removing the quart of the length of strands. The amelioration of weight was 34% compared to control (no thinning). �??Barhi�?? cultivar showed better response to removing the quart of number of strands from the bunch. The amelioration was 38%
