| Abstract | ||||
| This study was carried out during the 2020 and 2021 seasons to select and evaluate some male date palm trees for pollinating "Bartamoda" cultivar in Aswan governorate, Egypt. For this purpose, twenty-three different date palm male types "Maghal", which are grown in Aswan governorate, were chosen to evaluate and recommend which is the best to use as a pollinator for "Bartamoda" date palm cultivar. Pollen grains from each male type were used as a pollinator to test the impact of each male type on fruit set and fruit quality. Data showed that Male 22 had higher values for the initial set percentage, retained fruit percentage, fruit weight, flesh weight, fruit length, fruit diameter, total soluble solids value, total reducing and non-reducing sugars, and lower values for seed weight, seed length, seed diameter, and pH value of "Bartamoda" date palm fruits compared to the other males grown in the rest of the locations under study in Aswan government. | ||||
