Abstract
Succary date palm cultivar was thinned by removing 15 and 30% of the total number of strands from the center of each bunch, while the control strands were used as reference. Although, thinning caused significant decrease in yield (based on both bunch and palm weight), significant improvement in fruit quality was observed. In conclusion, our results recommended that thinning 30% at four weeks after pollination led to optimum fruit quality.
Key words: Date palm, tinning, bunch yield, fruit quality.
