https://doi.org/10.54172/mjsc.v23i1.1437Abstract
Oases region is؛ one of the most important area of date production in Libya. The current study was carried out to investigate the variation which was observed in fruit characters of Saaidi date cultivar. Sex fruit characters were examined, five of them (fruit weight, fruit volume, fruit length, fruit diameter and seed weight) showed high significant differences while one character, flesh percent, was not. The variation which was observed in Saaidi cultivar is due to not only to environmental affects but mainly to genetic variation.
