Abstract

Palma datulja (Phoenix dactylifera L.) je podvrsta roda Phoenix iz porodice Arecaceae (Palmaceae). Jedna je od najstarijih voćnih kultura koja se povezuje s civilizacijom mnogih zemalja. Autohtona je u zemljama oko Perzijskog zaljeva. Uzgaja se već nekoliko tisućljeća na područjima Bliskog istoka i Sjeverne Afrike. Odatle se palma datulja proširila na druga područja s prikladnom klimom (vrućom i sušnom ili polusušnom) s dovoljnom količinom vode u obliku podzemne vode ili navodnjavanja. Palma datulja introducirana je na zapadnu hemisferu mnogo kasnije i tamo postoji ograničeno područje uzgoja. Datulja je jedinstvena jednosupnica s karakterističnim anatomskim značajkama i prilagodbama na okoliš. Za uspješni uzgoj datulja zahtijevaju se postupci poput obrezivanja starih grana, ručnog oprašivanja i manipulacije plodova. Rukovanje nakon berbe može uključivati dehidraciju ili hidrataciju ovisno o sadržaju vlage u plodu tijekom berbe. Plod sadrži visoku kalorijsku vrijednost (3150 kcal/kg svježeg voća), 60-65 % šećera, priličnu količinu vlakana (2,5%), proteina (2%), masti (2%) i minerala do 2,0%. Listovi palme datulje također se koriste za izradu privremenih koliba i pripremu košara, metli, užadi i rukotvorina. Sjemenka ploda koristi se u proizvodnji hrane za stoku. Budući da je tolerantna na vodni stres i stres uzrokovan sa zaslanjenosti tla, potencijalna je voćka suhih područja.

Abstract (english)

Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is a subspecies of the genus Phoenix from the Arecaceae (Palmaceae) family. It is one of the oldest fruit crops that is associated with the civilization of many countries. It is indigenous to the countries around the Persian Gulf. It has been cultivated for several millennia in the Middle East and North Africa. From there, the date palm spread to other areas with a suitable climate (hot and arid or semi-arid) with sufficient water in the form of groundwater or irrigation. The date palm was introduced to the Western Hemisphere much later and there is a limited area of cultivation there. The date palm is a unique monocot with characteristic anatomical features and adaptations to the environment. For the successful cultivation of dates, procedures such as pruning old branches, hand pollination and fruit manipulation are required. Postharvest handling may involve dehydration or hydration depending on the moisture content of the fruit during harvest. The fruit contains a high caloric value (3150 kcal/kg of fresh fruit), 60-65% sugar, a fair amount of fiber (2,5%), protein (2%), fat (2%) and minerals up to 2,0%. Date palm leaves are also used to make temporary huts and make baskets, brooms, ropes and handicrafts. The seed of the fruit is used in the production of feed for livestock. Since it is drought stress and salinity stress tolerant, it is a potential fruit tree for arid areas.
