Among the most important problems of pistachio are physiological disorders such as fruit abscission and production of blank nuts. Environmental stresses and inadequate nutrition during flowering time have increased these problems in recent years. In order to evaluate the effects of foliar treatments with polyamines and other compounds (amino acids and ascorbic acid) on quantitative and qualitat...

Pistachio nut has high nutritional value. The fat and protein are the common part of pistachio. Major part (about 88%) of the fat content of pistachio includes unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids are known to have positive effects on human health like preventing to heart diseases. This research has evaluated protein, fat and fatty acids content of some commercial pistachio cultivar...

Study the effect of fruit cultivar (intact, early split, irregular crack) on (Akbari, Abbasali, Khanjari) cultivars in Damghan city to Aspergillus Flavus fungus and effect of harvest time in early split pistachio in 1389, sampling from orchards has been performed. Samples after grinding by dilute cultivating in a specific AFPA medium bottles in a completely randomized model were three times rec...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Fruit set in indeterminate plant species largely depends on the balance between source and sink strength. Plants of these species show fluctuations in fruit set during the growing season. It was tested whether differences in fruit sink strength among the cultivars explained the differences in fruit-set patterns. METHODS Capsicum was chosen as a model plant. Six cultivars w...

a lack of adequate annual chilling in temperate zone fruit growing trees, especially pistachio is a main problem observed in many areas with partly warm winters. usually this phenomenon results in disorders in vegetative and reproductive structures, decrease in production of pollen, falling of flower buds and decrease in or loss of fruit set. presently the use of some substitute chemical compou...

a number of grapevine cultivars have female flowers and for better fruit set, they need pollinizer. single planting of these cultivars leads to severe decrease in fruit set. this research was carried out to investigate the effect of cross pollination with four grape cultivars (askari, rish baba, bidane sefid and tabarze sefid) on fruit set, bunch weight, berry per cluster, average weight of 20 ...

abstract in this study, fresh pistachio of 'ohadi' and 'akbari' cultivars expose to the uv-c radiation with a wavelength of 0, 3, 6 and 12 kj/m2, then located at temperature of 1 ± 3 degrees celsius for 45 days. properties or attributes, including weight loss, stiffness and sensory evaluation of fresh pistachio after 20 and 45 days storage were measured. results showed that pistachio nut weight...
