Research Abstract

This study was conducted during 2017 and 2018 seasons on Barhee date palm cv. (Phoenix dactylifera L.) at the age of 18 years, grownin three regions of Upper Egypt i.eMatana, Luxor Governorate; Kom- Ombo and Toshka, Aswan Governorate to evaluate its vegetative properties as well as physical properties and determination chemical composition of fruits. The obtained results revealed that, there were significant differences between the vegetative characteristics of date palm Barhee cv. as a result of different weather conditions of locations conducted study.The palms grown in Matana region recorded the largest values of the palm girth, number of leaves, length of the leaf and leaflet, leaflet area, spines number and area, while the lowest values of these parameters were obtained the palms grown in Toshka region. There are significant differences between the yield components as a result of growing Barhee in the three regions of Upper Egypt. The date palm grown in Matana recorded the largest values related to the number of bunches, the percentage of the initial and horticultural fruit set, the weight of the bunch, as well as the yield/ palm, while the lowest values were obtained in the case of Barhee grown in Toshka. There were significant differences of both physical and chemical fruits properties harvested from different regions of study. Barhee in Kom-Ombo region recorded the largest values of fruit length, fruit shape index, fruit weight, specific gravity of fruit, weight and percentage of flesh in the two study seasons.the highest values of TSS percentages, total and reducing sugars, Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium content and lowest tannins content .On the other hand, the highest values of non-reducing sugars, the highest moisture content, and the lowest acidity were obtained in the case of Barhee in Toshka region. Generally, the productivity and quality of Barhee palm could be arranged descendinglly as follows: Kom-Ombo, Matana and Toshka.
