implementation of effective input policies and technology consistent with production structure contributes to the economic use of the production. understanding the price elasticity of input and relationship between inputs in the agricultural sector is helpful in choosing appropriate input policy. in this study we examine the production structure of pistachio in damghan. to achieve the goal, tra...

Increase in the exchange rate may not always promote export of non-oil production and exports of various goods; rather they might have different reactions to the exchange rate. Hence, in this study we tried to examine the effect of real effective exchange rate on Iranian pistachio export. The required data were collected from statistical yearbook of Iran's foreign trade, statistical yearbook of...

In this paper an intelligent separation system, based on artificial neural networks (ANNs), for classifying four different varieties of Iranian pistachio nuts, namely, Kaleghouchi (Ka), Akbari (Ak), Badami (Ba) and Ahmadagaee (Ah) is presented. To develop the ANN models a total of 3200 pistachio sound signals, 800 samples for each variety, were recorded. Features of pistachio nut varieties were...

six strain of trichoderma (t. viride, t. harzianum, t. reesei, t. longibrachiatum, t. koningii, t. virens) were isolated and used for extracellular enzyme production. species of trichoderma are collected from the surrounding soil of suger beet root fields in east iran, and held in vitro cultured pda. tcm and tfm are used for the growth of spores and induceing the production of cellulase. finall...

this study was conducted to assess the in vitro organic matter digestibility (omd) of pistachio hull using rumen fluid of taleshi sheep. animals were fed diets composed of 34% pistachio hull, 29% grape pomace, 32% alfalfa, and 5% grain barley. the chemical composition and phenolics' levels of pistachio hull, either industrially dried pistachio hull (idph) or sun dried pistachio hull (sdph)...

Six strain of Trichoderma (T. viride, T. harzianum, T. reesei, T. longibrachiatum, T. koningii, T. virens) were isolated and used for extracellular enzyme production. Species of Trichoderma are collected from the surrounding soil of suger beet root fields in East Iran, and held in vitro cultured PDA. TCM and TFM are used for the growth of spores and induceing the production of Cellulase. Finall...

Effects of kaolin applicati on were evaluated on water stress in pistachio cv. ‘Ohadi’. This experiment was conducted in one of research sites at the Pistachio Research Institute in Rafsanjan (Kerman province) in . The results show that individual and interaction effects of all treatments were significant on nutrition absorption in leaves, although there was not a steady effect on all the eleme...

Pistachio is a nut with high consumption that can be affected by aflatoxin contamination. Regarding influence of this fungus on global trade, broad studies in this area seem to be necessary. In this research, pistachio nuts were coated with methyl cellulose at different concentrations of 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, and 2% by immersion method. Samples were stored in an incubator (25°C) for 4 months. Imaging...

iranian pistachio is one of the strategic crops within most agricultural commodities having the highest income from exports for the country and a significant share of the country's non-oil exports but the marketing and packaging technologies for this crop are at a low level in comparison with competing countries like usa. in recent years the rate of production and its exports have decreased dra...
