Predicting Farmers’ Willingness to Adopt Liquid Pollination and Polycarbonate Drying Technologies: A Case Study from the Date Palm Growers in the Sultanate of Oman
This research paper aims to assess the adoption level of the two technologies (liquid pollination and polycarbonate drying houses) in the Sultanate of Oman, emphasizing the influencing factors of the adoption process and ...
Effects of drip subsurface irrigation system on date palm production and water productivity
Subsurface drip irrigation system has been proved to give higher water use efficiency and better water productivity (WP) than other irrigation systems. At Al-Kamil Research Station in Al-Sharqiyah North governorate, ...
Fingerprinting of Some Omani Date Palm Cultivars using SSR Markers
The numbers of known date palm cultivars that are distributed all over the world are approximately 5,000, out of which about 250 are found only in Oman. It is a dioecious, perennial, monocot plant, and its heterozygous ...

Date Palm Production and Water Productivity Under Subsurface Drip Irrigation System
The majority of date palm cultivation in Oman is irrigated using flood irrigation method and just limited area irrigated by Bubbler Irrigation (BI) system. Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI) has been proved as a water saving ...
Liquid pollination: New field technique to enhance the date palm production
Date palm pollination is one of the essential filed operations. Experts evaluate the importance of pollination in all cultivation operations as the most important operation. Pollination of date palm is carried out manually ...
Drying Dates Using Solar Energy Under Polycaronate House -New Promising Technology to Dry Dates in Oman
In Oman, date palm is the primary agricultural crop, and it constitutes 80% of all fruit crops produced and 50 % of the total agricultural area in the country (FAO, 2013). Oman is the eighth largest producer of dates in ...
Economic and Environmental Evaluation of Different Irrigation Systems for Date Palm Production in the GCC Countries: The case of Oman and Saudi Arabia
This study evaluates the irrigation water volumes' effect on the date palm productivity and water use efficiency under several conventional and improved irrigation systems (surface, subsurface, bubbler, subsurface drip ...
Liquid Pollination Technology as New Technology to Ameliorate Date Palm Pollination and Facilitate Date Palm Field Operations
Pollination of date palm is normally carried out by hand in almost all date palm groves in Oman. Farmers mostly use various hand pollination techniques. Dry pollination is used utilizing hand and motorized dusters with no ...
