Necessary conditions for planting pistachio trees and seedlings

Pistachio is a desert plant and is very Iranian Pistachio resistant to saline soil. It has been reported to grow well when irrigated with water containing 3,000 ppm to 4,000 ppm soluble salt. Pistachio trees are relatively hardy under suitable conditions and can survive at different temperatures between 10 degrees Celsius in winter and 48 degrees Celsius in summer. Pistachios need sun and well-drained soil. Pistachio trees perform poorly in conditions with high humidity, and if they receive a lot of water and the soil does not have enough water to absorb them, they are prone to root rot in winter. Long, hot summers are needed for the fruit to ripen properly.

 

Characteristics of pistachio tree

Pistachio tree grows up to 10 meters in height. It has 10 to 20 cm long leaves that fall in winter. These trees have different male and female types. The flowers are unisexual and grow in clusters. A male pistachio tree should be planted among a number of female pistachio trees.

Its fruit, like a grape tree, contains an elongated seed, which is the edible part of pistachio. This seed is considered as a nut. Pistachio fruit has a hard, creamy outer skin. This seed has a fleshy skin of purple and light green color and has a special taste. As the fruit ripens in the fall, its skin changes from green to yellow or red, and its hard skin suddenly opens up somewhat. This sudden opening, known in English as dehiscence, is accompanied by an audible sound. Commercial pistachio cultivars differ in their natural opening rate.

 

Cultivation of pistachio tree

The pistachio tree has a long life, probably up to 300 years! The trees are planted in the garden and it takes about seven to ten years to reach significant production. Pistachios bear fruit annually or every other year, and naturally the amount of crop is heavier every year. Pistachios reach their highest yield at the age of 20. One male tree produces enough pollen for eight to twelve female trees. Harvesting in Iran is done manually, but in the United States and Greece it is often done using equipment to shake tree branches. Harvesting pistachios by hand has a special advantage, which is that in this case you can pick pistachios that have not yet fully ripened. This pistachio has a very attractive green kernel that, according to Mr. Jalalpour, the former head of the Chamber of Commerce, is unparalleled in the world.

 

After the fleshy skin of the pistachios is removed from them, the pistachios are classified on the basis of open mouth and closed mouth. They are then processed by special machines.

 

It is interesting to know that in California, almost all female pistachio trees are of the Kerman pistachio type that are grafted on annual seedlings.

As mentioned in Iranian Pistachio various articles of this blog, agricultural conversion industries, conversion and complementary industries are the missing link in the agricultural sector. Undoubtedly, paying attention to this part of the industry, in addition to creating more jobs and preventing migration to cities, can pave the way for the formation of more added value in the agricultural sector. In this article, we will examine pistachio conversion industries and specifically the applications of soft and bony pistachio shells.

Types of pistachio products

In the article "Iranian Pistachio Export", we introduced pistachio and its different cultivars, as well as pistachio export markets. In this section, we briefly introduce the types of pistachio products. Pistachio is one of those agricultural products that has a very high nutritional value; Therefore, the conversion products of this product can have a special place in a healthy food style. Some of the pistachio conversion products are:

Pistachio conversion and complementary industries

As mentioned in previous articles, conversion and complementary industries play an important role in boosting production and sustainable development of rural areas. Paying attention to this part of the industry, in addition to creating more jobs and preventing migration to cities, can pave the way for the formation of more added value in the agricultural sector.

 

One of the features of pistachio production is the high risk of this product. Studies show that the coefficient of change in yield and price of pistachios in the country are about 23.8 percent and 113.5 percent, respectively. In many parts of the country, pistachio cultivation is the last resort for farmers. In these areas, due to the low quantity and quality of water, it is not possible to cultivate products other than pistachios. Therefore, the lack of crop diversity has made it difficult for farmers to reduce production fluctuations and labor prices.

 

Therefore, pistachio conversion and complementary industries can reduce the damage mentioned above to some extent by creating various pistachio products. Pistachio products, subject to the use of modern processing industries, have the ability to be among the quality goods for export.
