It is known that, the cultivation of palm by seeds is difficult to distinguish their sex, because it takes too long to bear fruit, so look for a way through which to distinguish the sex of palm. I need any answer about morphological seed or seedling characters
Dear Bashar Owaid, This is completely excluded because the source of these trees is seed and not Palm seedlings
Dear, Mohsin Abdullah Al-Shammari, thank you for your answer but I need any answer about morphological seed or seedling characters
Dear Dr. Mohsin, As you know the sex ratio in date palm is 1:1, so only about 50% of germinated seeds will produce female seedlings. Even at early stage, the male seedlings are generally stronger in vegetative growth (leaves, thorns) compared to the female ones and these can be used to distinguish between them.
Dear Dr Mohsin
as my Professor MA Awad say, the male seedling is very strong than femal one as well as they appeared as a dark green seedling. from our reading, you can covered the seedling with a cotton tissue cover, in most cases the male seedling peneterate the cover
