“…However, to define this proportion precisely, various aspects must be considered such as the cultivar, pollination method, number of inflorescences in each palm, amount of pollen in each application, and amount of pollen produced. Researchers from Libya, Morocco, and Syria report that for the cultivars, pollination methods, and cultivation practices used in those countries, successful pollination requires one male palm for every 25 female palms [9,79,80].…”

“…A great diversity of hand-pollination methods have been investigated, as well as the use of mechanical, motorized, and electrical devices, and recently the use of liquid suspensions [2,8]. Some of these methods have proven to be highly efficient; however, some devices cannot be used due to their high cost, the need for operator skills, and equipment maintenance costs [7,9,10].…”

Date palm pollen (DPP) plays a very important role in the fertilization process, since its viability and the pollination method influence on the quality, development, and yield of the fruit. In the present study, a broad review of its main characteristics, consumption, and DPP production are presented, as well as a description of its extraction methods and viability tests. The evolution of the pollination methods used in the date palm is also presented, from its natural pollination to the use of specialized mechanical and electrical devices, as well as the use of dry DPP and the current trend towards the use of DPP in liquid suspension. Likewise, the efficiency of the methods of natural pollination (wind); traditional (strands placement); dusting hand; dusting with manual, mechanical, or electric pollinator; and liquid pollination were evaluated from the fruit set percentage (FSP). Finally, starting from a scientometric analysis, the pollination methods were widely discussed, concluding that the dusting spraying of pollen suspension with liquid DPP is the pollination method that commonly presents the highest FSP, followed by dusting dry DPP with a motorized pollinator.

“…Se han investigado una gran diversidad de métodos de polinización manual, así como el uso de dispositivos mecánicos, motorizados, y eléctricos y recientemente el uso de suspensiones líquidas (Mostaan, 2012;Soliman et al, 2017). Algunos de estos métodos han demostrado ser muy eficientes; sin embargo, algunos dispositivos no se pueden utilizar debido a su alto costo, la necesidad de habilidades del operador y mantenimiento del equipo (El-Mardi et al, 1995;Sudhersan et al, 2015;Khairi, 2015).…”

Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio fue cuantificar el efecto de la proporción de polen en suspensión liquida, sobre el porcentaje de amarre y algunas características físicas del fruto de la palma datilera cultivar Mejhoul, en el Valle de Mexicali, México. La polinización liquida se llevó a cabo durante la temporada de cultivo 2021, donde se utilizaron cuatro tratamientos con 1, 2, 3 y 4g de polen × 1L agua (T1, T2, T3 y T4) respectivamente. Asimismo, como tratamiento control (T5) se utilizó el método de polinización que maneja actualmente el agricultor. Se polinizaron cinco grupos de dos palmas datileras cada uno, conteniendo 12 racimos por cada palma. Sus porcentajes de amarre tuvieron un rango de mínimo de 43.95% para T1 y máximo de 68.68% para T4, mientras que T5 presento un porcentaje de amarre entre 52.02% y 57.56%. Los resultados revelan que T4 induce el mas alto porcentaje de amarre, sugiriendo que podría ser un método efectivo de polinización para remplazar al actual. Finalmente, con relación a las características físicas, el fruto polinizado con T1-T4, no presento diferencias significativas respecto a T5, lo cual sugiere que la polinización liquida no induce ningún efecto negativo en el fruto.

“…This tree has the particularity of growing in arid, sub-humid, and tropical areas. The countries known for the establishment of this tree are Algeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait [20][21][22][23]. Algeria is the fifth largest producer of this fruit (dates) in the world with an annual production of 710 000 t, over an area of 170 000 ha [24].…”

Pistachia lentiscus (LPw) and date palm leaves (PDw) are two biosorbents that are mainly used for the removal of chromium and cobalt from an aqueous solution. These biosorbents were characterized by physicochemical procedures, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, zero charge point, Boehm method, and Brunauer‐Emmett‐Teller (BET) method. Various parameters, such as contact time, biosorbent quantities, diameter of the biosorbent particles, ionic strength, initial pH, and initial concentration of solutions, were optimized. The reactions of PDw+Co, LP+Co, and LPw+Cr exhibited similar isotherm profiles of type L, but indicated isotherm type C in the reaction PDw+Cr profile, according to the BET classification. All reactions mentioned above were described by the Freundlich and Temkin adsorption isotherm models, with R2 greater than 0.97. The kinetics most likely followed the pseudo‐second‐order model which was confirmed by error calculation.
