This study aims to evaluate the effect of adding a date solution on improving plant growth characteristics. The research questions are: How effective is the date solution on the plant? The date solution was produced, the pH was measured, the appropriate amount of date solution was determined to be added to the soil and diluted with water, and the water, soil and ground cover protocol was applied. The results showed an increase in the length of the plant’s stem, as well as an increase in the number of leaves and an improvement in their color. This indicates that the solution increased the efficiency of the soil. The date solution is considered an effective way to improve plant growth and increase soil fertility by increasing the nutrients in the soil. Based on these results, we recommend publishing the results and educating people about the properties of this solution and benefiting from it in home gardens and farms, taking into account the characteristics of the soil. We recommend conducting another study in other agricultural areas, and benefiting from it to enhance soil fertility and raise the level of nutrients and minerals in it, as this solution is environmentally friendly and reduces pollution, and is better than chemical fertilizers that are harmful to the environment.
