Description
Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is one of the oldest fruit trees of the world and is closely associated with the life of the people in the Middle East since ancient times. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia produces over a million tones of dates annually from an estimated 25 million palms (FAO, 2010). The crop has a high socioeconomic importance not only due to its food value, but also its capacity to provide shelter, fiber, aesthetic beauty and furniture (Mousavi et al, 2009).
