Abstract

Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), from Saudi Arabia, is a main tree particularly at arid areas. It plays an essential role in both food and food security. 75% of date production worldwide (approx. 5,096.99 tones) were come from Arab countries. Reduction of water opposite the increasing in the population are one of the future challenges for the country so, we focused in this study depending on the literatures to predict the novel approaches that can we used.
