“…Said (1986) arrived at identical findings and had similar results. The findings are consistent with Bani (1988) and Azad et al (2011), which found that using sand as a rooting medium resulted in a higher total rooting percentage, faster root emergence, longer roots and shoots, and higher survival of rooted cuttings compared to a variety of other horticultural substrates tested.…”

Abstract. Mohammed NMI, Said AGE. 2018. Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) seeds germination. Cell Biol Dev 2: 63-68. This study aimed to examine if pre-germination treatments could effectively promote date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) seed germination in the Nursery of the Horticultural Sector, Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, Khartoum, Sudan. Seeds were soaked in water for 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 days before being planted in one of the following media: sand:clay (1:1), sand:clay (1:2), sand:clay (1:0), sand:clay (0:1), and sand:clay (2:1). The factorial completely randomized block design was employed in this investigation. The 6-day soaking time resulted in the highest percentage of seeds germinating; as the soaking time increased, the percentage of seeds germinating decreased. The 6-day soaking time also improved seed germination, allowing for a 50 % final germination percentage in the shortest time. Sowing seeds in a 2:1 soil mix decreased germination days, resulting in a substantial increase in germination percentage compared to other soil type mixes evaluated, regardless of soaking duration. In addition, seeds soaked for 6 days and planted in a 2:1 soil mix produced the tallest seedlings.

“…Table 2 showed that relationships between varieties and survival percentage were not statistically significant (p>0.05). Our results are accordance with Azad et al (2011) they observed the date palm seedlings survival % range from 0-96%. Results of same kind were also observed by (Oni, 2016;Okunlola et al, 2011) who narrated that germination rate and seedling height were increased by soaking of seeds of some economic forest trees.…”

D ate palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is a member of Arecaceae family. It is a vital crop in Asia's desert regions, but it has recently gained popularity throughout the world. It is supposed to be native from North Africa and Arabian Gulf. Date fruit introduced in Indo-Pak subcontinent by Arab conquerors and Alexander subsequently it extended as a food crop. It is major fruit crop in Pakistan and cultivated in 95619 hectares area with 560184 tones production (FV & CS, 2020-21). In Pakistan most substantial areas concerning dates production include; Punjab

“…Our results showed the superior of both treatment for increasing date palm germination rate (%) comparing to the results obtained by Azad et al (2011). The authors treated the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) seed with different temperatures and growing media and found that the germination started from 21 to 26 days.…”

Nanomaterials and organic derived-biochar are proposed to be the materials for the new millennium, particularly in agricultural sector. Smarter use of these materials in crop production could be achievable to solve a lot of problems. However, a thorough understanding of the interactions of nanoparticles and biochar with plants is required prior to general recommendation. The present study serves to investigate the impact of silver (Ag) and zinc (Zn) nanoparticles (NPs) and biochar on a problematic seed germination and seedling early growth rate of Zaghloul date palm (Phoenix dactylifera). Two laboratory experiments were undertaken in soil-less culture systems; (i) soil-less petri dish was used to improve the seed germination of date palm under different concentrations of AgNPs (0, 1, 5, 10, 20, 40 mgl -1 ) and biochar (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5 g/petri dish) and (ii) hydroponic system was used to study the impact of ZnNPs (0, 0.002, 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.05 and 0.1 %) in root growth rate of date palm according to the results obtained from experiment (i). The results showed that a significant increasing in seed germination rates for all treatments compare with the control. Although higher concentration of AgNPs (40 mgl -1 ) and biochar ( 3 and 5 g / petri dish) showed an increasing values of seed germination comparing to the control, they pose initial inhibitory effect of seed germination comparing to their lower concentrations. However, the addition of either 20 mg AgNPs l -1 or 2 g / petri dish biochar showed the highest germination values. These concentrations were further studied under hydroponic culture system to investigate the effect of ZnNPs on root growth rate of date palm. The addition of ZnNPs improves root growth rate of date palm for all treatments. However, the root growth empirical model confirms that the seed initially treated by 2 g/ petri dish biochar had a superior root growth comparing to seed initially treated by AgNPs. Therefore, we recommend using both treatments (AgNPs and biochar), at lower concentrations, combined by nanofertilzer of ZnNPs to improve Zaghloul seed germination and seedling growth.
