"This study was conducted in University of Tikrit during the 2019 agricultural season, to study the effect of treatment with rooting hormone, paraffin and fungicide on the success of cultivating the offshoots of two varieties of date palm (Khastawi and Zahdi) in Gypsifrious Soil. The experiment planned RCBD, with three replicates.. The cultivar had a significant effect on the studied traits, as the variety Khastawi outperformed in the percentage of success offshoots, leaf length, pinnae length and the number of roots as it reached 86.27%, 30.20 cm, 16.87 cm, 15.67 roots, respectively, while the Zahdi variety outperformed the average number of leaves as it gave an average of 3.80 a sheet. The rooting treatments had a significant effect, especially the treatment with the rooting hormone plofid and the fungicide Redomil, which gave to a significant increase in the studied traits represented in the percentage of success of the offshoots, the number of leaves, leaf length, pinnae length, length and number of roots, reaching 100%, 5.33 leaves, 35.33 cm, 19.83 cm. 17.00 cm, 21.50 root, respectively, while the comparison treatment gave the lowest average for the aforementioned traits. As for the effect of the interaction between the cultivar and the rooting treatments, the cultivar Khastawi and Zahdi in the treatment of the rooting hormone plofid and the fungicide the highest success rate of 100%, and the cultivar of Zahdi in the same treatment gave the highest rate of the number of leaves and the length of pinnae, while the variety Khastawi in the same treatment gave the highest rate of leaf length The length and number of roots, while in the comparison treatment, the ascetic variety gave the lowest success rate of 57.67%.

ABSTRACT Studies on the effect of transplanting methods and NP – fertilizer rates on leaf length of a female date palm offshoot have been conducted over a period of 25 months (September, 2017 – September 2019). The trial was sited at the Date Palm Research Sub – station/ Federal University Dutse (11o50’N, 09o25’E) in the Sudan Savanna ecological zone of Nigeria.  The treatments consisted of two transplanting methods (Direct: detachment of offshoot from the parent palm and directly transplanting into the field, and Indirect: detachment of offshoot from the parent palm and keeping in the nursery for 3 months before transplanting into the field) and five NP fertilizer rates Control (0g N + 0g P), 80g N + 40g P, 160g N + 80g P, 240g N +120g P and 320g N + 160g P) arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Indirect transplanting of date palm through nursery proved more effective than direct transplanting as it produces statistically longer leaves which are an indication of better chances of crop survival, establishment and yield. Rate 320g N +160g P statistically outperformed other rates in the production of longer leaves throughout the sampling periods. Interaction between transplanting methods and fertilizer rates was highly significant in most of the sampled periods except in June and September, 2019. A combination of indirect transplanting method with rate 320g N +160g P that produced longer leaves is recommended for adoption  in the Sudan Savannah ecological zone of Nigeria.

A comprehensive survey was conducted at different provinces of Saudi Arabia (SA) to investigate predacious prostigmatid mites (Acari: Trombidiformes: Prostigmata) mainly collected from the date palm, Phoenix dactylifera L. (Arecaceae) agro-ecosystem. A total of 41 species belonging to 28 genera in 14 families are recorded in the present study. Out of these, three families, 18 genera and 36 species are new to the mite fauna of SA. The new species, Neobonzia tabukensis sp.nov. (Cunaxidae), Cheletomimus (Philippicheyla) taifensis sp.nov. (Cheyletidae) are described and illustrated. A checklist of predatory prostigmatid mites from SA is given. A key to all terrestrial predatory prostigmatid mites, excluding Parasitegona and Heterostigmatina, reported from SA is provided. Also, a key to world species of the subgenus Philippicheyla Corpuz-Raros of the genus Cheletomimus Oudemans is given.
