the treatment process so that palm trees can grow and bear fruit optimally.

My Farm - Date palm tree or in Latin called Phoenix dactylifera is a Dioecious type plant, having male and female plants that grow separately. Not only in the Middle East, palm trees can also grow and bear fruit in Indonesia. There are ways to care for palm trees to produce fruit that you can imitate quickly.  Generally, date palms grow and develop from sprout seeds. However, only 50 percent of the female plants planted can bear fruit. The height of date trees is generally around 15 to 25 meters. This plant grows singly or forms clumps on a single root system. This clump comes from the parent of female plants that appear at the age of 3 years, then grow wildly. The cultivation of date palm plants on the home page lately is increasingly widespread. Apart from being an ornamental plant, this dry land plant also has many health benefits. After the plants mature, it is very important to keep the plants in order to grow and develop as expected. Regular and regular care greatly affects the harvest later. As an ornamental plant in front of the house, make sure to plant male and female dates to be able to bear fruit. Regarding routine care that must be done, you can follow simple steps like the following.  Date palm plants usually bear fruit at the age of 4 to 8 years. At the age of 4 to 5 years, female date plants will learn to flower for the first time. When that happens, do artificial pollination by taking male flower pollen and sprinkling it on the female flower. During fertilization, provide enough nutritional intake by fertilizing. Also ensure control of water and moisture in the soil, not to cause fungal development. Routine maintenance certainly does not escape so that fertilization can take place optimally. Do thinning, pruning, and cleaning plants from weeds around them. Date palm trees are very susceptible to bayoud disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum. Mushroom control is very sensitive. Especially the tropical climate that often rains can cause excessive moisture on the soil. Therefore, you need to work around this appropriately.  In the first way to plant dates, there are several things to consider, namely the types of dates that will be cultivated, there are several types of dates that you often find in Indonesia, including dates, dates, deglet nour, khenaizi, zahidi, medjool and khadrawi. Sokari dates, silaj, bahri and sekki.  In the selection of date seeds there are several things that need to be considered, one of which is the sex of date seeds, seeds or seeds of dates that can bear fruit, while male seeds are useful for the process of fertilization If you intend to purchase date seeds on the market, try to buy in large quantities because the sex of the date palm seeds that are often found is male seedlings. Purchasing date seeds in large quantities will provide a great opportunity for the success of the cultivation of dates that you will do.  Once you have collected the date seeds, the next step is to give the seeds from the fruit flesh that is still attached. There are 2 ways that you can do in cleaning palm seeds, namely using fine sand and clean water, these two methods are equally effective for increasing date productivity later. After the clean seeds do soaking seeds or seeds using organic regulators or ZPTs within 5 to 6 days, this activity is carried out so that the seeds are easier to grow sprouts. The next step in how to plant dates is the process of germination of seeds or seeds, in this step there are 2 ways you can do that is using seedling media and wet tissue media. The following is an explanation of the way germination of date seeds, namely: If you have to use wet tissue as a media for germination of date seeds, then you need to prepare a place or container that will be used for this process. Make sure the container or place you choose is able to withstand high humidity because the tissue that will be used as a medium for the growth of date palm sprouts will always be wet. After the container or place you have chosen, place the tissue in the container and place the date palm seeds on top to make sure the tissue is always wet. Seeds or date palm seeds planted in wet tissue media will grow in more than 14 days. Unlike the case with you who will immediately plant seeds in the growing media. Mix cocopeat, compost and sand for the initial planting media and maintain moisture from the planting media. Use a ratio of 2: 1: 1, where 2 for sand and a ratio of 1 for compost media and cocopeat. The next way to plant dates is the process of removing date seeds from the germination medium, either base tissue or seedling media. In the process of germination of date seeds that use wet tissue as a growth medium dates can wait for more than 14 days or make sure the seeds already have enough to be 4 to 10 m long.  This indicates that the date palm seeds can grow steadily if they are moved in a cultivation container. Whereas those who choose to use seedling media can see from the size of the stem or date palm plants, date palm plants that are ready to be moved have a size of 20 to 30 cm so that they can grow bigger and stronger if they are transferred to the cultivation container. Make sure the seeds are stored in a fairly humid environment and protected from pest attacks or wind that can damage the growth of dates. In addition, make sure that the date palm plants are exposed to sufficient sunlight and the location of date palm seeds outside the room to make it easier to adapt to the surrounding environment.  The process above is not the stage of the planter but rather the transfer of date seeds to a larger place or container so that the date growth space is available. In this stage, you will get an explanation about how to plant dates, dates that are ready to be planted have a fairly large stem size. Once the planting process is complete, but for how to plant dates, it is not finished because you have to carry out the treatment process so that the palm trees can grow and bear fruit optimally. The treatment that you can do is watering, do watering regularly and also do fertilizer fertilization. Fertilization and watering is done so that the nutrients needed by plants can be fulfilled and nutrient straightening can be absorbed easily by the roots of date palm plants. In addition to the process of watering and subsequent fertilization, there is one treatment of palm trees that is very important, namely pollination. In this process you do not need to do it yourself because pollination is usually aided by insects that often suck on honey or food that is in the flowers of date palm plants.  The last way to plant dates is the harvest process, in this process you will be very easy to tell which plants are palm and female dates. Male dates have white flowers and are small in size and contain starch while female dates have flower shapes like coconut flowers and generally have a bulb. Date palm plants really need treatment such as regular watering, administration of supplementary fertilizers and pollination, treatment can be done during the fertilization of dates until the date palm plants are ready to be harvested. So much information from us about how to plant dates, hopefully we can thank you.!
