Comparative analysis of exogenously applied synthetic auxin for fruit drop management and quality enhancement in date palm
The exogenous application of 2,4-D demonstrated a positive effect on reducing fruit drop and enhancing both physical and quality traits in date palm cultivars. These findings suggest that 2,4-D can serve as an effective tool in sustainable date palm production by improving yield and fruit quality under stress conditions.
