Our Floras department is engaged in supply of tissue cultured date palm saplings of various varieties in India. Our date palm tissue culture production facilities are located in the UK. We have a modern nursery spread over approx 25 acres of land in Jodhpur, Rajasthan and at Atul, Valsad, Gujarat; besides demonstration farms of date palms cultivated by us in 250 acres in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan and in 125 acres in Bikaner, Rajasthan.
Date Palm (Phoenix Dactylifera L), also called the ‘Blessed Tree’ is a very important crop for the arid regions with a long life of more than 80 years. This crop has the potential of changing the economy and ecology of the arid regions. Besides providing food and health it is a means of survival and livelihood as each part of this tree is consumed in daily life by people of arid regions. It is a robust plant which can withstand harsh agro-climatic conditions of high pH, high salinity, high temperature, sand storms, etc. Mass propagation of Tissue cultured Date Palms will help farmer to get better returns per acre, slow down desertification, alleviate microbial development in soil & improve soil condition, generate rural employment, ensure food & nutrition security for the state and save valuable foreign exchange being spent for import of date fruit at present.
Date fruit is one of the most nutritious food with each kilogram of dates containing about 2970 calories against required 3000 calories by an average working human being. It has sugar, proteins, lipids, fibers, vitamins, carbohydrates, etc. It has several medicinal attributes too. Hence it is termed a ‘Complete Food’. It has been the secret behind survival of the Arab community in extreme arid conditions prior to discovery of oil in the Middle East. Incidentally India is the largest importer of date fruit in the world.
As a part of our green initiative 'Greening the Deserts', we started the project of Tissue Culture Date Palm in Rajasthan and Gujarat. Atul is the largest supplier of these high quality tissue cultured date palm plants in the nation today. We have developed more than 1500 acres of demonstration farms at Jaisalmer & Bikaner districts and farmer fields in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana & other states of India, Besides our date palm tissue culture laboratory at the UK, we have also set-up up a world class Tissue Culture Date Palm laboratory at Jodhpur under a JV company with Government of Rajasthan, based on overseas technology. This state-of-the-art plant tissue culture laboratory of Atul Rajasthan Date Palms Ltd (ARDP) has commenced production.
We have a full technical team of qualified and experienced tissue culture scientists, field extension personnel, agriculturists & horticulturists, plant pathologists, etc who will extend all the required technical assistance for successful cultivation of tissue culture date palm plants in India.
Atul Ltd has been awarded the first prize of the prestigious Khalifa International Date Palm Award 2009 at Abu Dhabi amongst 19 countries contesting these awards, for implementation of the Tissue Culture Date Palm project in India. We have also been awarded prestigious Siemens Ecovatives Award 2010 for 'Earth Care' category for this unique & innovative green initiative of 'Greening the Deserts' through Tissue Culture Date Palms.
