Abstract:

This study was conducted on three cultivars of date palms (Jazzaz, Socotrai, and Barhi) planted on Hadhramaut coast, Yemen in the agricultural season 2020 AD, with the aim of comparing some morphological characteristics of leaves and fruits among themselves, by studying some morphological characteristics of leaves and fruits, and the results were analyzed using complete sectors design. Randomization The obtained results showed that the cultivar factor had an effect on all the studied characteristics of the morphological characteristics of leaves, and the length and volume of the fruit in relation to the morphological characteristics of the fruits. In terms of leaves, Jazzaz cultivar was significantly superior in spines length and pinnaes length, It was 10.47 cm, 57.40 cm, and Socotrai cultivar was significantly superior in the number of leaves, It was 87.5 leaf, while the Barhi cultivar was significantly superior in leaf length and number of spines and Pinnae width and number of Pinnaes. It was 4.82 m, 29.08 spines, 3.43 cm, 209.2 Pinnaes, As for the fruits, the Jazaz cultivar was significantly superior in fruit length and volume, It was39.03 mm, 13.90 cm3.
Key words: date palm, Phoenxi dactylifera L. Morphological characteristics, leaves, fruits, Hadramout, Yemen.
