Abstract EN

Sidr tree is one of the most important trees that represent the desert environment, as it tolerates extreme heat, drought and soil salinity, as well as it is a perennial and perennial tree that has been mentioned 4 times in the Holy Quran due to its economic, health and aesthetic importance.

The total area of the study area is (0442) km0, and it characterized by its flat surface and its gradual decline, which makes it suitable for carrying out the various agricultural operations that are needed for the cultivation of Sidr trees, as it was found through research that the climate of the region with all its elements of solar radiation, humidity, temperature and winds meets the climatic requirements of trees.

Sidr, as the prevailing irrigation method in the region is drip irrigation depending on groundwater.

Due to the lack of falling rains and the lack of close surface water, in addition to the groundwater approved for irrigation, it is of appropriate quality and quantity for the cultivation of Sidr trees, as the region's soil was distinguished by being gypsum sandy soil and its physical and chemical properties are appropriate, and if there is a lack of organic matter, it can be compensated by adding clay soil and organic fertilizers.

The study area is one of the important agricultural areas in Iraq that can be used to grow this type of trees .

Already, planning for planting Sidr trees has started already, so the research aims to shed light on the requirements for successful development of Sidr trees cultivation in the research area and is characterized by natural ingredients For the purpose of expanding on it.
