3. Fig tree
The west Asia is the original home of the fig tree and then moved from
Asian Turkey to the north of India, and then the cultivation of fig spread through out the Mediterranean region
and Middle East since ancient times.
The fig tree perennial, deciduous, grow rainfall, multiple colors and shapes fruit
And have a high economic and medical nutritional value.

4. Nutritional and medicinal value
The climate of our country (Palestine) is suitable for the cultivation and growth of fig trees, where the climate warm ,sunny and good drainage soil.
Nutritional and medicinal value
Fig is one of the richest fruit
vitamins
Especially (C) , (A), (B2) and (B1).
Dried figs are rich with
calcium which is essential
for building bones and teeth.

5. Fig is one of the fallen leaves plants where the branches cylindrical , intertwined and few height.
Stem smooth and existing non-retractable cracked gray to silvery .
And there is a big nodes appear on the stem caused by branches have been removed or covered with buds dormancy phloem.
The fig tree up to 10 meters high, and live 50_70 years.

6. Root of fig Root of fig :Root is fibrous very depth , intensive ,
distribution on the nature and deepening depends
on variety as well as the soil type grown in terms of
composition and depth moisture system.

7. Branches Short branches a non-productive and length of 1_2 cm .
Medium branches less than 15 cm in length and a few fruiting .
Fruiting branches has a length of
15 _45cm .
Branches coming out of the under side of tree branches, a strong growth in length up to 1m.

8. Buds
Buds : figs have large buds open with a sharp and shiny apex in each axilla leaf two buds or three composed by category, the middle bud is usually vegetative and lateral fruiting.
Compound bud

9. leaves Leaves : green shiny simple palmate-shaped large-
sized branch and a length of 30 cm and has a large
and a small lobes The upper surface of the
leaf is dark green color and rough fluff . The
bottom surface shall be light green in color and the
soft fluff.

11. Fruits Fruit trees ficus produce an edible multiple fruit
called a syconium it is a fleshy, flask-shaped
structure (inflorescence) lined on the inside with
numerous female flowers, and these flowers not
appear from outside the thin outer shell . The wall
has color white or light yellow carrying
multicolored floral by category (white, brown, pink,
red).

13. At the top of the fruit there is
slit called the eye of the fruit which is covered by small scales .
The core of the fruit contains
numbers of seeds that may be
big or too small the number ranges ( ) per fruit .

14. Flowers and method of pollination
Flowers in Figs are very small and be combined
inside the fruit called inflorescence floral any large
group of small flowers accumulated inside the fruit
where not see from the outside.

15. Different way fertilization by class of figs as follows:
1_ common fig ( normal figs flowers ):
The flowers in these categories feminine they do not need to pollinators or pollen.

16. 2_Capri fig ( wild fig flowers )
# The anthers # Tuberous flowers # The stigma
Where insect
Lbulastopaja growth.

17. 3_ Smyrna : It is A feminine flowers need to pollination humeral
(cross pollination) and that of the wild fig flowers, this
process is done by insects.

18. 4_San Pedro fig: flowers of this variety two part :
As the first crop flowers are considered as normal pollinate common fig not need pollinators, and the second crop flowers would need to be pollination, such as figs Smyrna.

19. Figs pairing habit & harvesting
Carry floral buds of fig sideways on two types of
wood are:
A) Year-old branches that carry the first crop of
figs where consists bud in the previous
growing season, and this floral buds bloom in
spring and crop matures in June and called
name it (Darfur).
DAFUR

20. DAFUR

21. And Dafor considered
the secondary crop in
most varieties but in other
varieties carry only is
Dafor.
Characterized of these fruits :-
large in size and few
sweetness.

22. B) Modern branches resulting from vegetative
buds, and floral buds begin
to configure it with the
maturity of the fruits of the
first crop, then mature in
August and September,
and the fruit from these
branches considered the
main crop .
Characterized of these fruits
smaller than the first crop
but more sweetness.

23. Environmental factors for the cultivation of figs
0 Soil :
Fig tree live in the different soil and in the variety
of environmental conditions ,
But the favorite soil is alkaline clay non deep, and
sandy clay soils fertile with good construction
and drainage optimum with pH is ( 6_ 6.5 ).

24. The following table shows the relationship between
decrease production and the degree of salinity in
the soil:
(EC) Mmols/CM
Lower production (%)
3.8
% 10
5.5
% 25
8.4
% 50

25. 0 Temperature and climatic factors:
0 Water:
Fig trees need rain to the fall at least 500 mm per year.
0 Temperature and climatic factors:
The climate of our country suitable for the growth of fig trees, where the fig intended for drying need to long sunny days , high temperatures in the summer and low relative humidity.

26. The fresh figs need to a high temperature in the summer and moderate humidity air .
But when the temperature rise to more than 45C the crust of fruit become thickness .

27. Selection of seedlings
Figs  need for the moderate colder hours to break the dormancy phase
0 Wind:
The wind has limited effect on the fig trees.
Selection of seedlings
Seedlings must be free of
viral diseases and nematodes ,
it should be strong growth
so that it is 120 cm in length
and stem diameter of 1.5 cm.

28. Time of Planting Propagation of figs * propagation by Offisite
Agriculture fig trees begin in the month of January until the month of February.
February considered best date for planting figs.
Propagation of figs
* propagation by Offisite

29. To Accelerate the ripening of fruit
Farmers use to speed up the ripening of fruit a drop of oil by a piece of wood or cotton in the eye of the fruit and the crop is ready for harvest after a week of this process .
Ethylene compounds also used to accelerate the maturity.

30. Fruit picking Harvest of figs be at rate 3 tons per year .And
harvest done once every two days because the fruits
ripen in batches and continue the process of picking
(80_120) day.
Fig trees begins fruiting in the
third and fourth year of life, but
its commercial production after
the fifth year .
The time of sunrise and the demise of dew the best time for the process of harvesting

31. Pruning Planting space is about 5 * 7 6 * 8 9 * 10 5 * 5
