Abstract
Abstract Preharvest application of naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) at 10, 20, 40, and 60 ppm concentrations to immature ‘Zahdi’ date palm ( Phoenix dactylifera L.) fruit 15 to 16 weeks after pollination (late chimri stage) influenced fruit size, quality, and ripening. Compared with the controls, 40 and 60 ppm NAA treatments increased fruit size, weight, volume, pulp to seed ratio, and moisture content At 60 ppm fruit weight was increased by 39%. Total soluble solids were not altered significantly. Fruit ripening was delayed at least one month by 40 and 60 ppm.
