Currently
this research station cultivating native(Moroccan) figs cultivar
only,Unfortunately due to winter not even a single leaf or fruit left on the
plant, these Moroccan native cultivar was attained within the surrounding
vicinity along Rabat,Fes,Meknes,Tangiers,towards northwest Atlas mountain,some
other area.
They have
common figs,san pedro and smyrna type but most of the farmer will use wasp to
pollinate their figs whether it is smyrna or common figs,this is because to
obtain better quality and bigger fruits.
Very interesting method used by the
this station,where they will only introduce and bring wasp from other district
or place once the figs are ready to be pollinated,and they don't plant the
caprifig in that particular area,this is because they the wasp not only
pollinate the figs it will also damaged the figs through disease transfer,by
unwanted and unhealthy wasp,so the caprifig and the wasp will be check and
carefully selected before the pollination process,SURPRISINGLY the "common
figs" gets pollinated and produced very good yield and quality
