Fruit physicochemical properties of several cultivars of date palm and their influence on the susceptibility to Oligonychus afrasiaticus (Acari: Tetranichydae) in the southern of Iran
Abstract:Sixteen date palm cultivars were studied for their susceptibility to the date palm dust mite, Oligonychus afrasiaticus, at Date Palm and Tropical Fruit Research Institute of Bushehr, Iran. Physicochemical attributes of these cultivars were also measured at Kimri stage. The results revealed significant differences among cultivars regarding susceptibility to O. afrasiaticus. The cultivars Haleli, Maktoub, Barahi, and Deglet Noor were more resistant to the date palm dust mite than the other cultivars. Significant… Show more
