“…Poor dispersion of DPP in the inflorescence and the effects of environmental factors such as high humidity, rain, low temperatures, and strong winds may have a negative effect on pollination efficiency [1]. When this happens, the fruit does not develop its pulp or its seed, all three carpels develop into small non-commercial fruits, or the fruit aborts.…”

“…The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) belongs to the genus Phoenix, which has 14 species of mostly ornamental or wild palms, with only Phoenix dactylifera being cultivated for its fruit [1]. It is a dioecious species, meaning that there are separate trees bearing unisexual inflorescences of staminate or pistillate flowers called "male" and "female" palms, respectively [2].…”

Date Palm Pollen: Features, Production, Extraction and Pollination Methods

Date palm pollen (DPP) plays a very important role in the fertilization process, since its viability and the pollination method influence on the quality, development, and yield of the fruit. In the present study, a broad review of its main characteristics, consumption, and DPP production are presented, as well as a description of its extraction methods and viability tests. The evolution of the pollination methods used in the date palm is also presented, from its natural pollination to the use of specialized mechanical and electrical devices, as well as the use of dry DPP and the current trend towards the use of DPP in liquid suspension. Likewise, the efficiency of the methods of natural pollination (wind); traditional (strands placement); dusting hand; dusting with manual, mechanical, or electric pollinator; and liquid pollination were evaluated from the fruit set percentage (FSP). Finally, starting from a scientometric analysis, the pollination methods were widely discussed, concluding that the dusting spraying of pollen suspension with liquid DPP is the pollination method that commonly presents the highest FSP, followed by dusting dry DPP with a motorized pollinator.

“…Simultaneously, there is big threat of disease and pests in date palm destroying thousands of trees per year in world . Disease and pests-free production of trueto-type plant material on commercial level is possible via micropropagation (Al-Khalifah and Askari, 2011;Jatoi et al, 2015). Effective means of multiplying in vitro cultures of date palm is somatic embryogenesis (Quiroz-Figueroa et al, 2006), making possible the availability of required plants in vast number (Zaid and Wet, 2002;Fki et al, 2011).…”

“…The Date Palm is a flowering tree species in the palm family, Arecaceae, and is scientifically known as Phoenix Dactylifera, cultivated for its energy-packed fruit called dates [1]. It is a dioecious plant where the male palms produce pollens and female palms produce fruits [2]. Pollination in date palms occurs naturally by wind or insects.…”

Artificial pollination of date palms has been practiced over thousands of years to improve the fruiting traits in date palms. Due to the changes in agricultural practices in the modern period, mechanical pollination techniques were tried in some parts of the world. But machine pollination of date palms has not gained popularity worldwide owing to economic, environmental, or technical challenges. Of late, agricultural drones were introduced to pollinate date palms in significantly less time and reduce the risk of injury, manpower, and cost. Modern drones can have integrated, built-in smart data-collecting devices to provide the farmers with all relevant information. Although this autonomous method provides a number of benefits in terms of labor and cost, pollination time, ease of use, etc, studies have not yet entirely evaluated the efficacy of drone pollination on date palms. This paper summarizes the outcomes of an autonomous drone pollination study performed during the 2022 season in the orchards of Oman. The pros and cons of this artificial aerial pollination method are examined in the paper. The impact of this method of pollination on crop yield, fruit quality, and fruit set percentage are analyzed. This study also explores the limitations of the autonomous drone pollination system and throws light on ways to improve its efficiency.
