1.In this respect, yield/palm was not significantly affected by the fertilization treatments in 2013, in contrast to 2014 season where yield/palm was significantly higher in CT and T2 than all other treatments.
2.The total developed true leaves number was not significantly affected by the applied treatments but greatly increased (about 12 leaves) from 2013 to 2014 season.
3.3.2. Yield per palm and physical fruit quality characteristics Total yield per palm was significantly higher in CT and T2 than all other treatments (Table 2).
4.There were significant interaction effects between treatments and season on yield/palm, fruit weight and length (Table 3).
5.In both seasons, fruit weight and length were significantly higher in T3 and T4 than all other treatments (Table 3).
6.Fruit set percentage was not significantly affected by the applied fertilization treatments but was at highest level in CT (52.2%) followed by T2 (44.3%) (Table 1).
7.3.3. Biochemical fruit quality characteristics TSS concentration was significantly lower at T3 than all the other treatments (Table 4).
8.Results 3.1. Growth parameters and fruit set percentage After 6 years from transplanting, the palm height (above ground portion) was not significantly affected by the fertigation regimes (Table 1).
9.In this respect, there were no significant interaction effects between season and treatments on all growth parameters (Table 1).
