​Cultivation

Requirements for date palm cultivation

SOIL TYPE
Date palm is not very demanding and will grow on almost any type of soil, from almost pure sand to heavy alluvial soils, provided they furnish the basic needs of anchorage to the palm, minerals, water penetration and drainage. The optimal situation lies, therefore, in the middle and deep sandy loams are often quoted as the more suitable type of soil for the date palm.

IRRIGATION AND WATER REQUIREMENT

Date Palm is a water loving plant, but it can tolerate salinity to its highest level. Immediately after transplanting the palm should be irrigated to limit transplanting stress. The irrigation frequency is soil type dependent, but on very sandy soil it requires daily irrigation during the first summer (70-100 litres/plant). Heavy soil will require irrigation once or twice a week.

PEST AND DISEASES

There are no major pest and diseases of date palm except for Red Palm Weevils and Rhinoceros beetles, which can be manageable.

POLLINATION

The female inflorescence will emerge in the month of February to March and Pollination can be done by dusting male inflorescence over fully opened female spathe (within 2 days of spathe opening). Keeping 2 - 3 standards of male inflorescence in the female spathe also desirable Normally pollen from one single male tree is sufficient to pollinate 10 female trees. The mature male spathes (about to open) are cut from the tree remove the cover and store in shade for 24 hours. The pollen will be detached, which is ready for pollination. Main point is that in the month of Dec - Jan the temperature should be less than 20°c for flowering.
