Abstract
Abstract This study was conducted during the 2023 growing season in a private orchard in Thi-Qar province. The aim was to investigate the effect of spraying fruits with different concentrations of Basfoliar Kelp SL (0, 2, and 4 ml L −1 ) and calcium (0, 2.5, and 5 ml L −1 ) and their interactions on some chemical characteristics of ‘Shuwaiti’ date palm fruits at the Rutab stage. The experiment was implemented as a factorial experiment according to the complete randomized block design with five replicates to measure the studied traits. The concentrations of Basfoliar Kelp SL and calcium were sprayed 21 days after pollination and at full fruit set, with six sprays applied at 15-day intervals until fruit growth completion and the onset of fruit coloring. The results can be summarized as follows: The concentration of Basfoliar Kelp SL (4 ml L −1 ) showed a significant increase in some of the studied chemical characteristics, recording the highest averages for total sugars (54.89%), reducing sugars (45.11%), invertase enzyme activity (13.27 units g −1 min −1 ), and total soluble solids (60.28%) compared to the control treatment, which recorded the lowest averages. The calcium concentration (5 ml L −1 ) showed a significant increase in some of the studied chemical characteristics at the Rutab stage, achieving the highest percentages for total sugars (52.22%), reducing sugars (43.11%), and total soluble solids (53.06%) compared to the control treatment, which recorded the lowest averages. But compared to the control treatment, which had the greatest sucrose percentage (10.33%), the concentration (5 ml L −1 ) had the lowest (8.11%). Invertase enzyme activity was greatest at a calcium concentration of 2.5 ml L −1 (14.06 units g −1 min −1 ) and lowest at a concentration of 10.59 units g −1 min −1 in the control group. In order to attain the best averages for the chemical features that were examined during the Rutab stage, the interaction treatments including calcium (5 ml L −1 ) and Basfoliar Kelp SL (4 ml L −1 ) were highly effective.
