Abstract
This study was conducted to know the Dust deposits effects in some leaves characteristics ( the leaves content of chlorophyll) ,besides physical characteristics of the fruits such as( fruits weight , seeds weight , fruits length and fruits dimeter), Also the chemical characteristics of fruits such as( water content , total heavy metals and glucose rate) on date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) in Abu-alkhaseb region in Basrah governarate in 2009 season . Result shows different on chlorophyll contain in leaves between carrying dust trees and leaves of far trees from the dusting road, that higher chlorophyll A reach to 0.98mg/100g , 0.92mg/100g respectively ,while the leaves of the far date palm from dust road was higher on the contains of chlorophyll B reach to 2.59mg/100g , the Barhi caltivare was significatntly different on chlorophyll B reach to 2.70mg/100g , while the higher total chlorophyll was in date palm leaves of far dust road reach to 3.53mg/100g , the Barhi caltivare was different significatntly on total chlorophyll reach to 3.69mg/100g. Result shows that there is adifferent in the total weight of the fruit and was the highest weisht is the fruit of the far date palm from dust road reach 9.01gm and 9.02 respectively and highest seed weight for the fruit of the far date palm from dust road fruit reach 1.21gm and highest seed weight for Helawii caltivare was 1.35gm and the longer fruit of the far date palm from dust road reach 3.71 cm and longest fruit was for Saier caltivare reach 3.44cm and longest fruit of the far date palm from dust road diameter was 2.27cm while the results show that the longest diameter for Khadrawii and Barhei caltivare and reach 2.23cm and 2.18cm respectively. The result show that the highest humidity ratio was in fruit of the far date palm from dust road Helawii and Saier caltivare reach 46.25% and 45.36% respectively, and it appear that the more ratio of solid materials wich dissolved in totally was in Saier caltivare reach 30.74% , sucrose 95% , reducted sugurs and total sugars more in fruit of the far date palm from dust road reach 3.07% , 21.00%, 24.07% respectively.
