Phoenix dactylifera cv. Medjol plantlets as affected by yeast extract and NPK fertilizers

Rasmia,. S.S., Darwesh

Abstract


The primary aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of combination of yeast "Saccharomyces cervisais "and NPK fertilizers (14:6:43), nitrogen as 33 % NH4NO3 ,phosphorus as P2O5 triple supper phosphate and potassium as K2O potassium sulphate,  on the plantlets of Phoenix dactylifera cv. Medjol (derived by in vitro) after end of acclimatization stage in the greenhouse. These plantlets were subjected by two treatments of yeast (20 and 40 cm/l), and three treatments of NPK fertilizers (2.5,3.0 and 3.5 g/l), in addition to control treatment, and two periods (eight month for each) were used. Different growth parameters were studied in this experiment, i.e. plant height, leaves number,  root length, root number, fresh and dry weights of leaves, in appending to minerals content N,P and K and indole content in leaves. At the end o this investigation data were concluded indicated that the gradually significant growing of different growth parameters with tow treatments of yeast 20 and 40 cm/l.  Three applications of NPK fertilizers (2.5,3.0 and 3.5 g/l) were successfully enhancing all growth parameters of the plantlets, on the other hand there is no significant differences between the treatments 3.0 and 3.5 g/l NPK for tow seasons respectively, the treatment of 40 cm/l yeast with 3.0 and 3.5 g/l complete fertilizers resulted in the highest significant interaction of all tested growth parameters for tow seasons respectively. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content were significant increased with all levels of yeast and NPK fertilizers; also indole content was raised with all treatments for two seasons respectively. This work recommended that the beneficial application of yeast extract which led to decrease doses of NPK fertilizers, the treatments of yeast was shown as enhancing growth and development of the date palm plantlets at few months after the end of acclimatization stage in the greenhouse.
