Agricultural techniques in the Arabic heritage Fruit tree grafting Between productive features and medicinal properties as a model

The Arab knowledge heritage is one of the most important elements that contribute to preserving the Arab identity, and it constitutes the strongest pillar on which it depends for its existence among nations, and evidence of the role of Arab scholars in the development and progress of human civilization preservation, indexing, investigation, study, history and publication, but this due diligence was hated and rejected by those who believed that the heritage is obsolete, and that the budgets allocated to it from modern scientific research can push us forward to catch up with the developed countries.
The truth is that the Arab heritage has not and will not stand in the way of what we seek of scientific and technological progress. Rather, the heritage, with its honorable images in many fields of experimental sciences for ancestors, can represent for grandchildren a factor that pushes, motivates, laments and strengthens their determination to find out the factors on which the predecessors relied in their scientific renaissance to build upon.
Among the sciences in which Arab scientist excelled is “agriculture,” which previously was just a traditional practice based on inherited experiences. Arab scientists came to develop it in science and work, and they showed people many ways to derive groundwater, and they knew the types of land and what is suitable for cultivation, and certain types. From plants, they set scientific rules in water engineering, digging wells, raising water, digging canals, leveling the land, drip irrigation, fertilization methods, planting and harvesting dates, resistance to agricultural pests, and methods of storing grains and fruits. They were also able to change the properties of some fruits by giving them new medicinal properties to treat some diseases that patients hate. regular medicines because of their bitterness and difficulty having them.
These ancient agricultural techniques cannot be neglected today with the modern agricultural revolution, because it is certain that traditional agriculture is still practiced on a large and large scale in the countries of the third world, and among farmers with small property in the countryside. It is certain that many of these techniques are still used in their old form even today.
