    abstract = {The objective of this study was to investigate, the changes in physicochemical characteristics of date fruit (<I>Phoenix dactyliferaL</I>.) cultivars at Kimri, Khalal, Rutab and Tamar state by two different propagation methods. Weight and length of whole fruit and seeds were significantly higher <I>in vitro</I> cultivars (16.74&plusmn;0.38, 4343&plusmn;0.15) as compare to offshoot cultivars (1.53&plusmn;0.02, 2.93&plusmn;0.15), could be the result of older productivity. Ash (1.77&plusmn;0.44), protein (3.23&plusmn;0.08) and Carbohydrate (8.48&plusmn;0.49) were recorded maximum at Tamar stage. Significant amount of fructose and glucose were calculated higher at Tamar stage from <I>in vitro</I> cultivars. Higher percentage of Potassium (419.64&plusmn;12.12) and Iron (2.3&plusmn;0.04) among micro nutrients were detected in date fruits, which is considered a front contributor in Saudi Arabian diet.}
