Secondly, the seaweed is the most important crop in the Middle East and some Arab countries.

Second, the date palm trunk shell cut, leaving only the center of the part, with a knife to cut them into small particles, and then use tweezers to put the small particles into the cultivation of test tubes, after a period of time, these small particles will be in the test tubes will be germinated and grow, and then transplanted to a small pot, these saplings will be in the shed inside the growth of about a year, and finally planted into the ground according to the spacing of 1.5 meters, planting land. In the center of the planting area is an open artificial lake that provides water for the date palms, and each tree has a hose connected to a watering can for watering the date palms.

Third, the life span of the date palm can be as long as 150 years, cultivated and planted in about five years will be able to blossom and bear fruit, flowering time is from March to April every year. In order to make the yield better, artificial pollination is generally used, using a crane to transfer the personnel to the top, take out the male flowers in the middle between the trees, collect the pollen on top of the male flowers by knocking, and then use the machine to spray the male pollen onto the petals of the date palm tree, and this is done. After pollination by artificial beasts, the fruit can be touched in a month.

Third, the date palm is fully ripe generally in September to October, according to the market demand, some half ripe on the harvest, some ripe harvest, some in the tree above the natural air drying to become candied fruit before collection. In order to prevent pests from destroying them, a net-like protection is put on top of the seaweed. Because the date palm trees are high, a crane is usually used to send people up to harvest the seaweed preserves, which are naturally dried on the trees, and the workers directly pour the seaweed inside the mesh into baskets when harvesting, and then transport the harvested seaweed preserves to the processing plant, where they will be sorted and then packaged. These preserves are 80% sugar, with the rest being protein, fiber and trace elements, and are also known locally as the poor man's food. Sweets for the rich, but also dry food for travelers and people on the go.
