Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) has earned recognition as a significant crop due to its unique nutrient composition and adaptability the growing threat of climate change. Consequently, utilization remote sensing techniques for non-invasive pistachio monitoring become critically important. This research was conducted in two orchards located Spain, aiming assess effectiveness vegetation indices (VIs...

One hundred-thirty soil isolates of A. flavus were collected from commercial pistachio orchards in two main production regions including Rafsanjan (Kerman Province, south-eastern of Iran) and Damghan (Semnan Province, central north of Iran) and assayed for vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs). The sixteen and twenty VCGs were identified for 41 and 37 nit-mutant producing isolates of A. flavus...

Investigation of factors affecting total and partial productivity with applying these factors for reforming producers' economical/ technical management may provide a proper base for enhancing productivity and profitability as well, and then leading a more sustainable situation for Pistachio orchards in the future. In this paper with respect to scattering type of statistical population, a multi ...

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...

Surveys for egg-parasitoid wasps were conducted in Rafsanjan, Iran, on two species of Pentatomidae (Hemiptera) found pistachio orchards, Acrosternum arabicum Wagner and Brachynema signatum Jakovlev. Five Scelionidae (Platygastroidea) recovered, including one that is here described as new: Psix saccharicola (Mani), Trissolcus colemani (Crawford), T. darreh Talamas sp. nov. , perepelovi (Kozlov),...

Contamination of pistachio nuts by aflatoxigenic strains of Aspergillus species is the greatest constraint to production and export of pistachio nuts in Iran, the leading producer of pistachio nuts in the world. Kerman province is the main region in Iran where 85%, of pistachio nuts are produced. Determining the population density of Aspergillus spores in the orchards and terminals which are th...

to study weed species diversity and community structure in pistachio (pistacia vera l.) orchards in 33 orchards of 12 villages an investigation was conducted in bardaskan county, khorasan razavi province, iran during 2008-2009. weed population sampling was conducted in a w shape method using 1m² quadrate. the results showed that the weeds of pistachio orchards were belonging to 15 families and ...

hippodamia variegata (goeze) (coleoptera: coccinellidae) is one of the most prominent coccinellid predator of common pistachio psylla, in pistachio orchards. the experiment was performed under laboratory conditions i.e. 27±1oc 55±5 rh and 16:8 l: d. a cohort with about one hundred eggs- less than 24h old- was chosen and put in petri dishes. ladybeetle larvae were daily fed with pistachio psylla...

in this study, 99 isolates of rhizoctonia were recovered from root and crown samples of pistachio seedlings, and soil samples were collected from major pistachio orchards in kerman province. results revealed that 96 isolates were multinucleate and 3 binucleate. mnr belonged to ­ag-4. results of the pathogenicity tests carried out in the greenhouse, using pistachio isolates, revealed that all mn...
