| Abstract | ||
| An investigation was carried out to study the role of the preblooming treatments with calcium salts on yields and some qualitative characteristics and storage behavior of date palm fruits CV.Hillawi grown in Basrah. Trees were supplied with one of the following treatment month before flowering : calcium nitrate 4%, calcium chloride 4% in addition to control with distill water only Results showed that treatment with calcium nitrate 4% was superior to others in increase the content of the calcium in the fruits. According to the statistical analysis , there were no significant differences between this treatment and the treatment with calcium chloride 4% in their effects on yield .In order to study the storage behavior, fruits packed with polyethylene bags (1 kg) and stored at 5±2°C. In additions, treating with calcium nitrate 4% was superior to other treatments in keeping the total soluble solids and total sugars and control the decay of fruits. | ||
