This study was carried out during three successive seasons 2011, 2012 and 2013 at a private orchard located in Al- Hello in Ajman Emirate (UAE). The experiment was designed to study the effect of organic manure and NPKS as soil application on yield, fruit quality, and fruit mineral nutrient content of Khenazi date palm cultivar grown in sandy soil. Fertilization treatments consisted of N1, 600g or N2, 1000g (urea 46%N), P 800g (triple superphosphate, 48% P2O5), K 1200g (potassium sulphate, 50% K2SO4) and S 700g sulphur (90% granular S), in addition to organic manure. Al experimental trees received 100g mixture of micronutrients, with the exception of the control. The results showed that combination treatments and organic manure significantly affected fruit weight, flesh weight, fruit volume, moisture content and fruit TSS. Application of different fertilization treatments significantly affected yield components of fruit, number of fruits/strand, fruit number/bunch, fruit set percent and total fruit yield / palm. The study revealed that combination of fertilizers improved fruit nutrient content of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn and Cu. Moisture and TSS% content, number of fruits/strand, number of fruits/bunch, fruit nutrients content of Fe, Mn and Zn were significantly different due to the application of N1+K+S.

    The study was conducted on date palm fruit (Phoenix dactylifera L.) c.v. Ashrassi, wich included tow experiment: first one field study carried out during the growing season 2017 at Mandali date palm station/ Ministery of Agriculture, the second one was A laboratory experiment conducted at Post harvest physiology lab at the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Grading/ College Agriculture University of Diyala,9 trees were selected at 10 years old homogeneous in size and growth planted at 5x5 m, The experiment was designed as factorial experiment using Complete Block Designed (RCBD), with two factor: tryptophan spraying at 0, 100, 200 ml. L- 1 concentration five times one spray each month, at Hababok stage, the second factor: some artificial ripening method to promote fruit Ripening, included (heat treatment at 20ºC for 10 minutes, freezing the fruit at- 18 ºC for 42 hours, and soaking the fruit in ethephon solution at 1000, 1500 ml. L- 1. The results can summarized as follow, The interaction between tryptophan spray with 200 ml. L- 1 and freezing the fruit gave the highest values for fruit weight, length and total sugar percent, also the interaction between tryptophan spray with 200 ml. L- 1 and soaking the fruit in ethephon solution at 1500ml.L- 1 resulted significant increase in reducing sugar percent.
