Shadegan has two million date palms

Khuzestan Jihad-e-Agriculture Organization announced: Shadegan date palm pollination operation started at 7570 hectares.

Engineer Nader Pourrakani, director of Jihad Keshavarzi in Shadegan city, announced the news: From this level, 80,000 plants are pollinated mechanically and the rest manually and traditionally.

One month after the pollination operation, the spraying operation against date fruit-eating pests will begin, he said.

We hope that this year, due to the weather conditions and the presence of water in the Shadegan surgical river, about 46,000 tons of dates will be harvested, Pourrkani said.

He reminded: Shadegan city is one of the most important palm-growing areas of Khuzestan with two million date palms on the level of 12,280 hectares.
