Phenotypic diversity of date palm cultivars (Phoenix dactylifera L.) from Algeria

The aim of this work is to evaluate the phenotypic diversity of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.). This study shows that Biskra region has an interesting biodiversity. This latest was conducted during the growing palm groves since 3 years (2010, 2011 and 2012) in Biskra, on 89 date palm varieties,...

This latest was conducted during the growing palm groves since 3 years (2010, 2011 and 2012) in Biskra, on 89 date palm varieties, to identify their distinctive phenotypic characteristics. Seventeen physical parameters have been examined, including 4 relative to vegetative growth, and 13 to the fruits at the date parameters stage.

The results revealed a wide variation for different degrees of significance between the 89 cultivars for most studied traits, and showed the superiority of the fruiting characteristics over the vegetative, the former included: Fruit weight 0.851 and length 0.746, flesh weight 0.865, the coefficient of fruit length/width 0.754 and the weight coefficient flesh/seed 0.675.
