Feasibility and Technical Study for Establishing Recycling Date Palm by Product Unit (date palm waste) to Produce Organic Fertilizers (compost) in the GCC Countries

Abstract

the present study is prepared within the framework of the Developing sustainable production systems for date palm in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries project. This research and development project aim at producing new knowledge and practices to improve date palm production systems in the Gulf region. The main activities of the project include improving the productivity of cultivars, managing natural resources (land and water) for optimal performance, optimizing the use of different inputs in the cropping process (fertilizers, pollinators, wastewater, etc.), and studying the genetic diversity of date palms. The transfer of technology to the partners and promote exchange of experience between them is an integral part of the project.
