Subject : A survey of mechanization efforts on date palm crown operations 
Document Language : English 
Abstract : Many of the farm operations involving the date palm involve manual work at the crown of the tree, i.e., from 4 to 15 m above ground level. These operations take place at various times during the growing season. Thus de-thorning of the bases of leaves is carried out annually to facilitate the moving about of a person during subsequent operations. Pollination needs to be carried out in the spring, whereby the pollen is brought into the proximity of the flowers. Thinning is the selective removal of fruit from the tree with the objective to obtain a uniform crop comprising large, properly grown dates. Pruning involves the selective removal of some fruit strands for the same reason. Bagging or covering is the operation of partially sealing of maturing date bunches, to protect the crop from rain, insects, birds, and other pests. Harvesting involves the operation of picking of dates at various times, as they ripen. The present study commences with an introduction to the date palm and its fruit. The crown-related operations are then reviewed. The past and present mechanization efforts on date palm crown operations are surveyed, and conclusions are drawn.
