Abstract

Date palm (phoenix dactylifera), that's commonly founds within the center east countries inclusive of the Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the us (California) that play a large role within the your budget and the environmental situations in the ones regions. The primary motive of planting dates is its fruits, which is ate up as fresh, dried or the processed forms. There are approximately a hundred million date palm bushes within the worldwide that 62 millions of those trees located inside the center east and the North Africa. In Saudi Arabia most effective, 15000 lots of date palm leaves are ready as the waste substances. The leaves of date palm tree are used in the several packages together with making ropes, baskets, and mats in many elements of the world. Unfortunately, the massive amount of the non-meals merchandise from the date palm remains as landfill substances with none particular utilization. Via interest to the date palm properties, the literature definitely confirmed that each part of the date palm has amazing capability for use for a variety of programs which include: making paper, absorption of heavy and poisonous metals, strength production and soil fertilizing. Present review article designed to be a comprehensive source of recent literature and study on date palm. Cultivation and its applications. This article also intended to covers the recent findings in date palm seed with some interest on physical structure and chemical compositions, including their different commercial applications.
