this research was designed to evaluate and compare the applicability of two different types of irrigation including traditionally (surface irrigation) and simple sub-surface drip irrigation (using pricked-pipe covered with plastic cloth). two plots containing 39 pistachio trees with 720 m2 area were selected in rafsanjan, iran. both plots were irrigated using exactly the same quantity and quali...

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact climatic variables (minimum temperature, maximum average precipitation, and precipitation deviation) on yields pistachio, banana, mango in cold, hot–arid, hot–humid, temperate–humid climates using Just–Pope function. function is a relatively new approach context. most effective were identified by stepwise regression Feiverson algorithm. Data c...

In the current study with using of 553 questionnaires, knowledge of Kerman small pistachio growers regarding hygienic pistachio production especially aflatoxin was investigated. The results showed that factors such as high density of pistachio trees in the orchards and limited water resources are the main factors of creating potential of aflatoxin contamination in pistachio. These factors are n...

Population density of Aspergillus section Flavi in pistachio kernels of Iranian cultivars was studied in main pistachio growing areas of Iran during 2015 to 2017. In order to investigate the rate of contamination of pistachio cultivars to Aspergillus section Flavi and aflatoxins, 13 pistachio cultivars, including Akbari, Kaleh-ghouchi, Ovhadi, Ahmad-aghaee, M...

The common pistachio psyllid, Agonoscena pistaciae Burckhardt and Lauterer (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae) is the key pest of pistachio trees in Iran. Nowadays, pistachio growers use detergents widely to control this pest in pistachio orchards. Consequently, the study was carried out to investigate the effects of applying liquid soap (Jonobgan®) 3500 ppm, dishwashing deter...

Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.; Anacardiaceae) is native of aride zones of Central and West Asia and distributed throughout the Mediterranean basin. In Italy, a pistachio cultivar of high quality is typical of Bronte (Sicily), an area around the Etna volcano, where the lava land and climate allow the production of a nut with intense green colour and aromatic taste, very appreciated in internationa...

Adıyaman’da Antepfıstığı bahçelerinde verimlilik durumlarını belirlemek amacıyla 77 farklı köyden toprak örnekleri alınarak, analizler yapılmıştır. Topraklar, killi tın bünyeye sahip, hafif alkalin reaksiyonlu, tuzsuz içerikleri olmalarıyla berabar kireç % 0.10 ile 56 arasında değişerek ortalama 18.7 oranında bulunmuştur. Total N (azot) konsantrasyonu 0.04-0.65 değişmiştir. P2O5 (fosfor) içeriğ...

In the United States, California (CA) is the primary commercial producer of pistachio nuts, Pistacia vera L. (Anacardiaceae). The brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), an invasive and polyphagous insect pest from Asia, has established in urban areas in several pistachio-growing counties in CA. Breeding BMSB populations have not been detected in c...
