Hurma Ağacının (Phoenix dactylifera L.) İklim ve Toprak İstekleri

Yeryüzünde tarım kültürünün ilk dönemlerinde kültürü yapılan bitki türlerinden biri olduğu için, antik ürün olarak ta anılan Hurma ağacı (Phoenix dactylifera L.), özellikle besin değeri yüksek önemli bir meyvedir. Meyvelerinin yüksek enerji deposu olması, 16 farklı aminoasit içermesi, lif, mineral, vitaminlerce zengin olması nedeniyle diğer besin kaynaklarına erişim veya olanaktan yoksun insanların hayatta kalması için önemli değere sahip besleyici bir meyvedir. Geçmişten bugüne, genel olarak tropik ve subtropikal alanlarda yaygın olarak yetişen önemli bir bitki olan Hurma ağacı kuraklığa toleranslı ancak çiçeklenme ve meyve verme döneminde bol suya ihtiyaç duyan, özellikle potasyum beslenmesine duyarlı toprak ve iklim istekleri açısından; kurak iklim, organik maddece zengin, 7.5 ila 8.5 arasında pH’ya sahip (bitki kullanımı için azot, fosfor ve potasyum mevcudiyetini sağlamak için toprak pH'sını ayarlamak için önlemler alınması gerekir), kumlu ya da killi kumlu, hatta killi toprakta bile yetişebilen, İdeal sıcaklık aralığı isteği, geceleri minimum 7°C, gündüz 32-38°C, olan bir bitkidir.

Climate and Soil Requirements of Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.)

The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) was one of the plant species that were cultured in the first period of the agricultural culture on earth. The date palm is an important fruit in nature. Because, the fruits content of high-energy, 16 different amino acids, fiber, minerals, vitamins need to contain, in other places according to sources or lack of median is important for survival at the moment is a nutritious fruit. In general, tropical and subtropical ones have been growing in recent times, which is an important product that grows in the pasture, but tolerant to drought-tolerant watering time and plenty of water to drink water, soil and climate requirements can be with potassium nutrient  in the arid climate, rich in organic matter, at a pH of around 7.5 to 8.5 (measures are needed to adjust the soil pH to ensure the availability of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium for plant utilization) sandy or sandy clay even clay soil. The ideal temperature range is at least 7C° at night, 32-38C° within days.
