Abstract EN

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.
