Date Palm Farming: 200kg/Tree Yield, Bumper Profits with Smart Methods

• Date palm cultivation offers high income potential for farmers, especially with advanced techniques and tissue culture plants.
• Dates are rich in nutrients, boosting market demand; desert and semi-desert climates, like Rajasthan's, are ideal for cultivation.
• Optimal conditions include fertile, well-drained sandy loam soil (pH 7-8), long hot/dry summers, and temperatures of 25-40°C.
• Drip irrigation is recommended. Tissue culture plants yield fruit in 3 years, reaching 100-200 kg per tree by 15 years.
• Proper storage (ripe dates 2 weeks at 5.5-7.2°C; dried dates 13 months at 1-11°C) ensures better market prices.

Why It Matters: Farmers can achieve high profits through advanced date cultivation methods.
