Interest in pistachios has increased recent years due to their healthy nutritional profile and high profitability. In pistachio trees, as other woody crops, the volume of canopy is a key factor that affects crop load, water requirements, quality. However, canopy/crown monitoring time-consuming labor-intensive, it traditionally carried out by measuring tree dimensions field. Therefore, methods f...

the equilibrium moisture content is an important parameter for several post-harvesting operations for pistachio nuts, such as drying processes and storage. in this re-search the adsorption and desorption equilibrium moisture content were determined for two major varieties of iranian pistachios at 11 to 85 percent relative humidities and a con-stant temperature of 50°c. a significant hysteresis ...
