Capacity of garden productions in Iran is such that is accounted as a country that produces thirteen garden products in the world but despite excellent condition in Iran for producing garden products, natural disasters damage production of fruits in the country therefore farmers incur a loss. Pistachio tree has been in danger of destruction and dryness. Thus, in order to reduce loss incurred on...

We present a consumer-focused perspective on creating communications regarding potentially contaminated foods. It is illustrated with decisions that might have faced US consumers during the 2009 recalls of peanut and pistachio products. The example shows how knowledge about test results and regulatory processes might be made more useful to consumers.

Fresh pistachio fruit cv. Kalleghochi was harvested from the exterior and interior parts of the tree canopy in four geographical directions. The fruit position in exterior and interior parts of the tree canopy has a significant influence on the number of nuts per ounce, pistachio splitting, hull weight, shell weight, kernel weight, colour indices and total anthocyanin content. Results indicated...

in order to study the genetic diversity among some male pistachio genotypes,16 male pistachio genotypes and 8 female pistachio cultivars were selected from iranian pistachio research institute (ipri). 12 rapd primers were used which totally produced 65 bands that among them 48 bands were polymorphic and 17 bands were monomorphic. cluster analysis based on similarity matrix and jaccard similarit...

this research was undertaken to determine the comparative phenology of swallow wort (cynanchum acutum) in pistachio orchards and investigate the possibilities of its integrated management as a randomized complete block design with 18 treatments and three replications during 2007. the treatments consisted using paraquat, glyphosate, triclopyr and removine the weed. the results indicated that swa...

Aflatoxins are the most serious problem in production and export of pistachio of Iran. They are amongst the most toxic mycotoxins and are produced predominantly by Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. Pistachio is susceptible to invasion by aflatoxigenic Aspergillus species and subsequent production of aflatoxins, during preharvesting, processing, transportation or storage. Various methods ha...

in this study, the situation of iran, u.s and turkey's pistachio export is investigated. to this purpose, revealed comparative advantage (rca) index is calculated based on agricultural and total economy export, separately, then forecasted by using auto- regressive integrated moving average (arima) approached, for 2008-2013. the results show that considering both commodity baskets, turkey and ir...

Background: In this study, the effect of wastewater produced by pistachio processing in processing terminals on wastewater treatment plants with activated sludge process was investigated. Methods: The pilot of activated sludge was constructed at the laboratory scale similar to wastewater treatment plant in Kerman and it was investigated in different ratios of the wastewater of pistachio proces...
