Abstract
This study was conducted on an private orchards at Aldora, south of Baghdad .during the period from 2005 to 2009 ,to study the probability of rooting the stem near the head of six Iraqi cultivars: Zahdi, Khadrwi Mandly, Bream ,Khestawi, Asta-Umran and Teberzal .Two mg/l of IBA was used to enhance rooting along with 2 ml/l fungicide(Pafestien) and 10% waxing agent (parafine) for blocking wounds and reducing the lose of water . The response obtained for rooting was differ among to the cultivar Khadrawi cv. gave the highest percentage 75% ,while the percentage for Zahdi and Bream cvs were 50% each. Whoever no rooting obtained with both Khestawi and Teberzal cvs. The success of transplanting was highest for Zahdi, Khadrwi Mandly and Asta-Umran cvs 100% according to rooted trees and Zahdi, Khadrwi Mandly cvs 50% according to the total number of date palm trees used . the percentage obtained with Asta-Umran cv was 25% each but transplanting was failed with Khestawi, Bream and Teberzal cvs our conclusion is that IBA,waxing and fungicide were crucial for success of rotting and transplanting .Also the numbers and kind of roots were important for success transplanting. Where success transplanting need a good root system on the head of date palm , as in the Zahdi and Khadrawi Mandally and moderately in the Asta-Umran, whover the Bream more time to made a good quality of roots before cutting and transplanting. Also in the term of the gong of root and diameter both Zuhdi and Khadrawi Mandally were give highest average among the other cvs. rates of two traits mentioned above.
