        This research aimed to investigate the process of pistachios solar drying in two different conditions of the designed dryer (recycle and without recycle modes). As well, in this study, the drying kinetics curves of pistachio were drawn and its dewatering behavior was monitored by empirical models. Furthermore, the mass transfer rate (MTR) of the examined product during drying in two noted modes was determined by Fick’s 2nd law. Maximum, minimum, and average values of collector output air temperature were recorded 54.20, 32.30, and 42.99oC & 47.10, 30.70, and 40.03oC in air recycle and without air recycle modes, respectively. The results dedicated that, 18.75 % saving in drying time was obtained for air recycle mode compared with without air recycle mode. Also, the obtained data revealed that the drying rate of pistachio nut under recycle mode was higher than that of pistachio nut under without recycle mode, especially during the first hours of drying. Moreover, the empirical modeling showed that the Parabolic and Diamante et al. models were found to be the most suitable for describing drying curve of the thin layer solar drying process of whole pistachio nut under recycle and without recycle modes, respectively. In addition, the highest value of effective moisture diffusivity was observed in solar dried pistachio nut under air recycle mode with the Deff value of 2.26×10-6 m2/h (R2=0.9265). تفاصيل المقالة

        Pistachios are good sources of some functional compounds that are essential for human health. In addition to consuming dried pistachios (salted/roasted) or used as ingredients in a variety of confectionery and cookery products, consuming fresh pistachios is also gaining a foothold in the market. This review presents pre- and postharvest operations to prevent microbial contamination and to preserve physicochemical properties of fresh and processed pistachios for extending their shelf life. There is a potential in pistachios to be contaminated with some undesirable microbes, especially aflatoxin-producing fungi, during pre- and postharvest operations. In this regard, strategies to the prevention of aflatoxin production and the decontamination of produced aflatoxin in pistachios have been of interest to researchers. Different practices including sorting, thermal processing, biological control, ozone treatment, gamma irradiation, ultraviolet irradiation, and cold plasma have been proposed for aflatoxin decontamination. Sorting out damaged pistachios is one of the most important postharvest strategies to reduce aflatoxin levels (up to 98%) that can be done manually or electronically. The majority of pistachios (~85%) are consumed as roasted form that combining roasting with lemon juice improves the elimination of aflatoxin (up to 93%). Drying and packaging are the most important methods to maintain quality and improve the shelf life of pistachios. Laminated and metallized films with vacuum or modified atmosphere are the proper packaging for pistachios. تفاصيل المقالة

        با توجه به روند توسعه باغات پسته در بسیاری از استان‌های کشور و با توجه به کمبود شدید منابع آب در این مناطق، امکان تامین آب مورد نیاز درختان پسته در بسیاری از مواقع فراهم نیست. برای مدیریت مطلوب در شرایط کمبود آب، بررسی سطوح مختلف تامین آب در مراحل رشد پسته ضروری است. هد أکثر
        با توجه به روند توسعه باغات پسته در بسیاری از استان‌های کشور و با توجه به کمبود شدید منابع آب در این مناطق، امکان تامین آب مورد نیاز درختان پسته در بسیاری از مواقع فراهم نیست. برای مدیریت مطلوب در شرایط کمبود آب، بررسی سطوح مختلف تامین آب در مراحل رشد پسته ضروری است. هدف از این مطالعه، تعیین وضعیت تامین آب در مراحل مختلف رشد پسته با استفاده از تصاویر ماهواره‌ای و الگوریتم سبال در دشت سیرجان است. تبخیر - تعرق واقعی پسته با استفاده از الگوریتم سبال و تصاویر لندست 8 برآورد گردید و با استفاده از تصاویر لندست 7 صحت‌سنجی شد. این مدل قادر بود با درصد خطای حدود 20 درصد (6/0 میلیمتر بر روز) و مشابه با سایر تحقیقات، تبخیر- تعرق واقعی پسته را برآورد کند. نتایج بررسی نشان داد در دشت سیرجان در مرحله سوم رشد (انتهای تیر تا انتهای شهریور) به دلیل افزایش نیاز آبی پسته، تامین آب ناکافی منجر به کم‌آبیاری 30 درصدی شده است. برای مدیریت بهتر کم آبیاری، میتوان با کاهش آبیاری در مرحله دوم و افزایش آبیاری در مرحله سوم کاهش عملکرد را تعدیل کرد. در دشت سیرجان، در مجموع متوسط کم‌آبیاری برابر 17 درصد و در حد آستانه قابل تحمل برای گیاه بوده است. نتایج بدست آمده نشان داد، درخت پسته در سطوح کم شوری آب، به کم‌‌آبیاری (تا 26 درصد) مقاوم است. در شوری آب بالای 4000 (&micro;mho/cm) تاثیر توامان کم‌آبیاری و شوری تشدید شده و عملکرد محصول در اثر کم آبیاری با شدت بیشتری کاهش پیدا می‌کند. تفاصيل المقالة

        10 - تاثیر دو نوع بیوچار ضایعات کشاورزی بر برخی ویژگی‌های فیزیکی و آبگریزی خاک
        آسیه ناروئی جواد زمانی باب گهری شاپور کوهستانی فریده عباس زاده افشار
        زمینه و هدف: در دهه اخیر استفاده از بیوچار به عنوان اصلاح کننده خاک، مورد توجه پژوهشگران متعددی در سراسر جهان قرار گرفته است. با توجه به گزارش تاثیرات متفاوت بیوچارها بر ویژگی‌های خاک و نوع محصول حتما باید تاثیرات کاربرد بیوچار به عنوان اصلاح‌کننده در ارتباط با نوع خاک أکثر
        زمینه و هدف: در دهه اخیر استفاده از بیوچار به عنوان اصلاح کننده خاک، مورد توجه پژوهشگران متعددی در سراسر جهان قرار گرفته است. با توجه به گزارش تاثیرات متفاوت بیوچارها بر ویژگی‌های خاک و نوع محصول حتما باید تاثیرات کاربرد بیوچار به عنوان اصلاح‌کننده در ارتباط با نوع خاک و نوع محصول مورد بررسی علمی و عملی قرار گیرد تا تأثیرات مثبت و یا منفی آن بررسی و مشخص شود. هدف از تحقیق حاضر، بررسی تأثیر بیوچار حاصل از ضایعات پسته و برگ خرما بر برخی از ویژگی‌های فیزیکی و آب‌گریزی خاک بود. روش پژوهش: برای این منظور دو نوع خاک (شنی و لوم شنی) با بیوچار برگ خرما و بیوچار تفاله پسته در 4 سطح (1، 2، 3 و 5 درصد وزنی) با هم ترکیب شدند و سطح بدون کاربرد بیوچار هم به عنوان شاهد درنظر گرفته شد. بعد از ترکیب بیوچارها با خاک، به مدت دو ماه در شرایط گلخانه‌ای خوابانیده و آنکوبه‌شدند و سپس ویژگی‌های فیزیکی خاک مانند چگالی ظاهری، سطح ویژه، رطوبت هیگروسکوپی، آبگریزی و رس قابل پراکنش در آن‌ها اندازه‌گیری شد و نتایج بدست آمده مورد آنالیز آماری قرار گرفت. یافته‌ها: نتایج نشان داد که کاربرد بیوچارها به طور کلی موجب کاهش چگالی ظاهری و افزایش سطح ویژه و درصد رطوبت هیگروسکوپی در هر دو خاک مورد مطالعه شده بود. اما در مورد درصد رس قابل پراکنش هرچند کاربرد بیوچار برگ خرما کاهش این پارامتر را در پی داشت، اما بیوچار ضایعات پسته موجب افزایش این پارامتر در مقایسه با شاهد شد. کاربرد 5 درصد بیوچار خرما در هر دو خاک موجب کاهش حدود 60 درصدی پراکنش رس شد اما در مقابل، بیوچار ضایعات برداشت پسته به ترتیب موجب افزایش حدود 43 و 114 درصدی پراکنش رس در خاک شنی و لوم شنی شده بود. به‌طورکلی سطوح کم‌ کاربرد بیوچارها (سطح 1 درصد) موجب کاهش معنی‌دار آب‌گریزی خاک لوم‌شنی در مقایسه با شاهد شده بود و افزایش سطوح بیوچارها، افزایش آب‌گریزی خاک را در پی داشت. تاثیر کاربرد بیوچار برگ خرما در خاک لوم‌شنی بر آب‌گریزی معنی‌دار نبود و کاربرد بیوچار ضایعات برداشت پسته تاثیر متفاوتی بر آبگریزی خاک شنی داشت؛ افزایش سطوح بیوچار ضایعات پسته کاهش معنی‌دار آب‌گریزی خاک را موجب شد به طوری که کاربرد 5 درصد از بیوچار ضایعات برداشت پسته مقدار این شاخص را در خاک شنی 31 درصد کاهش داده بود. به نظر می‌رسد بیوچار ضایعات برداشت پسته با افزایش سطح ویژه خاک شنی و از طرفی تمایل بیشتر این ماده به جذب سطحی آب (افزایش رطوبت هیگروسکوپی)، موجب افزایش تمایل خاک شنی به جذب آب و درنتیجه کاهش آب‌گریزی خاک شده است. نتایج: به طور کلی اثرات بیوچارهای مورد مطالعه بر ویژگی‌های فیزیکی خاک در هر دو خاک مثبت بود و کاهش چگالی ظاهری و رس قابل پراکنش و افزایش سطح ویژه و رطوبت هیگروسکوپی می‌تواند افزایش کیفیت خاک را نشان دهد، اما این نتایج بدین معنی نیست که کاربرد بیوچارها می‌تواند اثرات مثبتی بر رشد گیاه در خاک داشته باشد و باید جنبه‌های تاثیر این مواد بر ویژگی‌های دیگر خاک (یعنی ویژگی‌های شیمیایی) نیز مدنظر باشد. بنابراین اثر بیوچار می‌تواند تا حد زیادی تحت تأثیر اثر ترکیبی بیوچار بر شرایط خاک قرار گیرد، برای استفاده مؤثر از بیوچار درخاک‌های کشاورزی، قبل از استفاده تجاری و عملی از بیوچار در خاک، پیشنهاد می‌شود تأثیر بیوچار با توجه به شرایط خاک و گیاه مورد مطالعه دقیق قرار گیرد. تفاصيل المقالة

        مقدمه: پسته به دلیل داشتن طعم و ارزش تغذیه ای بالا از محبوب‌ترین دانه های آجیلی دنیاست. شرایط نگهداری پسته نقش اساسی در حفظ کیفیت و ویژگی‌های ارگانولپتیکی محصول دارد و در صورت نامساعد بودن شرایط انبارداری، واکنش های نامطلوب و کپک زدگی باعث افت کیفیت محصول می شود. مواد و روش ها: این پژوهش به منظور بررسی تأثیر شدت های مختلف اشعه ماوراء بنفش (4، 8 و 12 ) صمغ فارسی % 7 (وزنی/حجمی) و عصاره نعناع سبز % 5/1 (حجمی/حجمی) بر واکنش های اکسایشی و خصوصیات میکروبی در مغز پسته رقم کله قوچی صورت گرفت. بعد از اعمال شدن تیمارها، پسته ها در کیسه های پلی‌اتیلنی بسته بندی و دو ماه در دمای یخچال ( 1 &plusmn; 4) نگهداری شدند. در طول دوره نگهداری در هفته های اول، سوم، پنجم و هشتم اندازه گیری ترکیبات فنولیک، اسیدیته، عدد پراکسید، عدد تیوبار بیتیوریک اسیدو افت وزن انجام شد. در روز اول و آخر ذخیره سازی،کل بار میکروبی و کپک مخمر بررسی شد. همچنین به منظور ارزیابی تاثیر صمغ فارسی و عصاره نعناع بر ویژگی‌های حسی محصول روز آخر آزمون ارزیابی حسی هدونیک 5 نقطه‌ای صورت گرفت. تجزیه و تحلیل آماری با استفاده از نرم‌افزار SPSS20 در قالب طرح کاملا تصادفی با استفاده از آزمون LSD در سه تکرار صورت گرفت. یافته ها: با افزایش شدت اشعه، بار‌میکروبی کاهش یافت (05/0&gt;P) زیرا پرتو توسط اسیدنوکلئیک جذب می‌شود و موجب قطع شدن نوکلئوتیدهای پریمیدین می‌شود، اما موجب افزایش اسیدیته، پراکسید و تیوباربیتیوریک اسید شد زیرا اشعه به علت فعالیت فتوکاتالیستی که دارد سبب تخریب ترکیبات فنولیکی و کاهش فعالیت آنتی‌اکسیدانی می‌شود. در نمونه‌های حاوی پوشش، به ویژه پوشش صمغ فارسی حاوی عصاره نعناع میزان بار میکروبی، اسیدیته، پراکسید و تیوباربیتیوریک اسید کاهش یافت (05/0&gt;P) زیرا صمغ فارسی با جلوگیری از عبور اکسیژن و عصاره نعناع به علت وجود ترکیبات فنولیکی، دارای ظرفیت آنتی‌اکسیدانی است و مانع از تخریب ترکیبات فنولیکی شده است. نتایج ارزیابی حسی نشان داد که بین نمونه‌ها از نظر بو، مزه و پذیرش کلی تفاوت معنی‌دار وجود ندارد. نتیجه گیری: استفاده از پوشش صمغ فارسی حاوی عصاره نعناع سبب افزایش قدرت ضد میکروبی و همچنین سبب کاهش تأثیر منفی اشعه ماوراء بنفشبر اکسیداسیون چربی پسته شد. تفاصيل المقالة

        The effect of incorporation of ensiled pistachio residues (EPR) into the diet of sheep on the quality of mutton was investigated. Twelve male lambs at 6 months of age and average weight of 35.9&plusmn;1.21 Kg, were divided into four groups (0, 33, 66 and 100 % EPR) and fed for 90 days in a completely randomized design. After fattening period, the lambs were slaughtered and dry matter, protein, fat, ash, NPN and minerals (Ca, P, Mg, K, Mn, Cu, Zn and Fe) of meat were measured. The functional properties of mutton (pH, WBC, texture, cooking loss and OD) and sensory attributes were determined. The results showed that feeding lambs with EPR, there was no significant difference in the meat traits, however meat fats in the treatments were lower in comparison to the control and the lowest amount of fat was obtained in group of the lambs fed with EPR at 66 %. The Zn and Fe of mutton was increased by addition of EPR and the highest amount was obtained in 100 % diet. The results indicated that addition of ensiled pistachio by-products to the diet of lambs improved the quality and nutritional value of mutton compared to the control samples received a standard diet. Therefore, it may be suggested that the use of EPR in sheep diet. تفاصيل المقالة

        Extraction of oil from poor quality pistachios results in increased add-value. In this study, the performance of different solvents in recovery of valuable oil and meal from the pistachio sample contaminated with aflatoxin was investigated and some chemical properties of the extracted oil were determined. The pistachio nut oil was extracted by three solvent systems including n-hexane (non- polar), ethanol 96˚ (polar) and n-hexane- ethanol 96˚ (90:10) using soxhlet method and for each solvent the mean yield was determined. Fatty acid profile, Iodine, peroxide and acid values of the extracted oil were determined. Aflatoxin contents in the produced oil and meal were measured. Extraction yield of the pistachio oil by different solvents ranged from 33.6% in the samples extracted by ethanol to 40.4% in the sample extracted by n-hexane-ethanol (90:10). The most predominant saturated and unsaturated fatty acids found in the pistachio oils were palmitic and oleic acids, respectively. The highest amount of aflatoxin was found in the oil extracted by ethanol and in the meal recovered by n- hexane. تفاصيل المقالة

        پیشینه و هدف طی صدسال گذشته، حدود 90 درصد از سرانه آب تجدید پذیر کشور کاهش ‌یافته است. از منابع آب تجدیدشونده کشور حدود 90 درصد آن به بخش کشاورزی اختصاص دارد. با افزایش سطح زیر کشت باغات پسته و افزایش تقاضا برای آب ازیک‌طرف و محدودتر شدن منابع آبی در منطقه، عدم تعادل بین عرضه و تقاضای آب به‌شدت در حال افزایش است. در این راستا، مهم‌ترین گام پیشگیری از هدر رفت آب، توزیع یکنواخت آب در سطح مزرعه، آبیاری بهینه و متناسب با نیاز آبی گیاه در هر مرحله از رشد است. حدود 99 درصد آب جذب‌شده توسط گیاه صرف پدیده تبخیر و تعرق می گردد. لذا، شناخت این پدیده و برآورد دقیق آن می تواند در تعیین نیاز آبی گیاهان نقش بسزایی داشته باشد. اندازه‌ گیری تبخیر تعرق واقعی پوشش گیاهی، خارج از شرایط آزمایشگاهی دشوار است. روش‌ های تجربی زیادی برای برآورد تبخیر تعرق واقعی و پتانسیل با استفاده از داده‌ های هواشناسی و اقلیمی به وجود آمده است. اما اکثر این روش‌ها تنها قادر به برآورد تبخیر تعرق پتانسیل می ‌باشند و مقدار واقعی تبخیر تعرق را برآورد نمی‌ نمایند. در مقابل، روش‌های مبتنی بر سنجش‌ازدور ایجاد شده است که راه ‌حل مناسبی برای برآورد تبخیر تعرق واقعی در سطح پوشش گیاهی می ‌باشند. تصاویر ماهواره‌ای با قابلیت پوشش سراسری و دید تکراری، امکان پایش تبخیر تعرق را در سطح مزارع و در طول دوره رویش گیاه فراهم آورده ‌اند. تحقیقات مختلفی در داخل و خارج از کشور در زمینه برآورد تبخیر تعرق واقعی اراضی کشاورزی با استفاده از تصاویر ماهواره‌ ای انجام‌شده است، که حاکی از دقت قابل ‌قبول این روش بوده است. اما عمده این تحقیقات در مربوط به مزارع کشاورزی است و تحقیقات قابل‌توجهی در زمینۀ برآورد تبخیر تعرق در سطح باغ انجام‌نشده است. پوشش گیاهی در سطح مزارع در مقایسه با باغات یکدست و همگن است، بنابراین برآورد شاخص پوشش گیاهی که از ورودی‌ های مدل سبال است در مزارع کشاورزی ساده ‌تر از باغات انجام می‌گیرد که می‌ تواند بر دقت نهایی تأثیر گذار باشد. بنابراین هدف اصلی این تحقیق برآورد مقدار تبخیر تعرق در سطح باغات با استفاده از الگوریتم سبال و ارزیابی دقت برآورد است. علاوه بر این در این تحقیق، از اندازه‌گیری روش مستقیم بیلان آبی با استفاده از داده‌ های سنسورهای رطوبت خاک موجود در قسمت‌ های مختلف باغ، برای ارزیابی دقت استفاده ‌شده است. استفاده از این روش قابلیت اطمینان به نتایج و ارزیابی دقت انجام‌شده را افزایش می‌ دهد.مواد و روش هاتحقیق حاضر در باغات پسته شهرستان زرندیه استان مرکزی انجام ‌شده است. باغ ‌ها دارای سیستم‌های آبیاری غرقابی، قطره ‌ای رو سطحی و قطره ‌ای زیرسطحی بوده ‌اند. تبخیر و تعرق واقعی با استفاده از دو روش بیلان آبی و الگوریتم سبال برآورد شده است. از داده‌ های هواشناسی ایستگاه سینوپتیک فرودگاه امام او تصاویر ماهواره ‌ای لندست 8 برای برآورد تبخیر تعرق به کمک الگوریتم سبال استفاده ‌شده است. تبخیر و تعرق واقعی در زمان ‌های گذر ماهواره در طول فصل رشد برآورد شده است. برای انتخاب پیکسل ‌های سرد و گرم در الگوریتم سبال، از روش نیمه اتوماتیک پیشنهادشده توسط اولمدو استفاده شد که استفاده از نظر کاربر را در انتخاب پیکسل ‌های سرد و گرم به حداقل می‌ رساند. برای ارزیابی دقت نتایج برآورد تبخیر و تعرق، از اطلاعات سنسورهای رطوبت خاک موجود در سطح باغ استفاده ‌شده است. تعداد 28 سنسور رطوبت خاک را در بخش‌ های مختلف باغ اندازه‌ گیری می ‌نمایند. با استفاده از مقادیر رطوبت خاک سنسورها، مقدار تبخیر تعرق واقعی با استفاده از روش بیلان آبی برآورد شد و به‌عنوان مقدار مرجع مورداستفاده قرار گرفت.نتایج و بحث مقایسه نتایج حاصل از الگوریتم سبال و روش بیلان آبی نشان داد که الگوریتم سبال توانسته است با خطای RMS 0.57 مقدار تبخیر تعرق واقعی را در قسمت‌های مختلف باغ برآورد نماید. علاوه بر این همبستگی بین مقادیر برآورد شده توسط دو روش برابر 0.82 بوده است که نشان‌دهنده قابلیت مناسب الگوریتم سبال در برآورد مقادیر تبخیر و تعرق است. همبستگی بین مقدار تبخیر و تعرق واقعی برآورد شده از مدل سبال و تبخیر و تعرق مرجع برابر 0.76 به ‌دست‌آمده است. تغییرات مقدار تبخیر و تعرق در قسمت ‌های مختلف باغ و نیز باغ‌ های دارای سیستم ‌های آبیاری مختلف غرقابی، قطره‌ای رو سطحی و قطره‌ای زیرسطحی بررسی‌شده است. نتایج نشان داده است، باغ دارای آبیاری زیرسطحی به‌ طور متوسط کمترین میزان تبخیر تعرق را در تاریخ‌های مختلف از خود نشان داده است. با توجه به آنکه تبخیر تعرق معادل مجموع مقدار تبخیر از سطح خاک و تعرق از سطح گیاه است می ‌توان، این مقدار کاهش را به کاهش تبخیر از سطح خاک نسبت داد. علاوه بر این، در همه تاریخ‌ ها ناهمسانی تبخیر تعرق در قسمت‌ های مختلف باغ‌ های دارای سیستم آبیاری یکسان قابل‌مشاهده است. به‌عنوان نمونه در باغ با روش آبیاری غرقابی، بخش ‌هایی از باغ تبخیر تعرق پایینی نشان می ‌دهند که می‌ تواند ناشی از عدم تسطیح سطح باغ و عدم دریافت رطوبت مناسب در این نواحی باشد. بدیهی است همین مقدار رطوبت در سایر بخش ‌های باغ تجمع نموده و از طریق نفوذ عمقی از دسترس خارج می ‌گردد. این توزیع غیریکنواخت در باغ با روش آبیاری رو سطحی نیز مشاهده می‌ شود. به ‌عنوان نمونه بخش میانی باغ دارای آبیاری رو سطحی همواره مقدار تبخیر تعرق بالاتری را نشان می ‌دهد که می‌ تواند نشان‌ دهنده هدر رفت آب در این بخش از باغ، ناشی از عملکرد بیش از نیاز نازل‌های رطوبت باشد. برای ارزیابی بهتر اختلاف تبخیر تعرق در روش ‌های مختلف آبیاری، مقدار متوسط، حداقل، حداکثر و انحراف معیار مقادیر تبخیر تعرق در باغ ‌های مربوط به سه سیستم آبیاری مختلف محاسبه ‌شده است. نتایج نشان داد در تمام تاریخ‌ ها مقادیر دامنه تغییرات و انحراف معیار تبخیر تعرق در سیستم آبیاری غرقابی بیشتر از سایر روش‌ها بوده است که به ‌خوبی نشان ‌دهنده عدم آبیاری یکنواخت در سطح باغ است.نتیجه گیری نتایج تحقیق حاکی از دقت مناسب الگوریتم سبال در برآورد تبخیر تعرق واقعی باغات بوده است. به‌ طوری ‌که در مقایسه با روش بیلان آبی همبستگی 0.82 و خطای 0.57 داشته است. علاوه بر این، مقایسه وضعیت رطوبت در قسمت ‌های مختلف باغ و نیز باغ‌ های دارای سیستم آبیاری مختلف نشان داده است که با استفاده از برآورد تبخیر و تعرق به کمک تصاویر ماهواره ‌ای می‌توان اطلاعات مناسبی از نحوه توزیع رطوبت در سطح باغ دست‌ یافت. این داده ‌ها، اطلاعات ارزشمندی در خصوص مدیریت بهینه منابع آب و افزایش کارایی آبیاری فراهم می ‌نماید. با استفاده از روش ‌های آبیاری زیرسطحی می‌ توان به ‌صورت مؤثری هدر رفت آب آبیاری ناشی از تبخیر از سطح خاک را کاهش داد. نتایج تحقیق نشان داده است که در مناطقی که دسترسی به اطلاعات سنسورهای رطوبت خاک و یا روش‌های اندازه‌ گیری مستقیم تبخیر و تعرق وجود ندارد، استفاده از الگوریتم سبال و روش ‌های سنجش ‌از دور می‌تواند اطلاعات مناسبی را جهت مدیریت بهینه منابع آبی فراهم نماید. تفاصيل المقالة

        بنه یکی از گونه‌های درختی مقاوم به خشکی است که در کوهستان‌های خشک و نیمه خشک می‌روید. این گونه گیاهی علاوه بر کاربردهای خوراکی و صنعتی نقش بسزایی در تنوع زیستی، به ویژه در مورد حیات وحش دارد. شناسایی رویشگاه این درخت در مناطق مختلف می‌تواند کمک مؤثری در جلوگیری از تخریب این سرمایه ملی باشد. این پژوهش به منظور مطالعه و بررسی وضعیت رویشگاه‌های بنه در استان خراسان جنوبی انجام شد. مناطق مهم دارای پوشش گیاهی بنه در این استان عبارتند از: دشت مرغ در حومه درمیان، چنشت در حومه سربیشه، چهکند درحومه بیرجند، شاه سلیمان علی درحومه خوسف و افضل آباد درحومه نهبندان. مطالعه خاک مناطق مذکور نشان داد در اغلب مناطق مورد بررسی pH خاک قلیایی و بافت خاک لوم- شنی بوده و در مورد عناصر غذایی ازت و فسفر کمبود زیادی وجود دارد. در منطقه مرغ و چنشت درختان بنه مشاهده شده متعلق به دو گونه Pistacia atlantica و P. khinjuk و در سایر مناطق فقط متعلق به گونه Pistacia atlantica بود. بیشترین پراکنش درختان بنه در منطقه افضل آباد و مرغ مشاهده شد. در این دو منطقه نهال‌های جوان بنه دیده نشد. این امر را می‌توان به خشکسالی‌های اخیر نسبت داد. جهت حفظ و گسترش پوشش گیاهی بنه در این مناطق نهال کاری و آبیاری آن‌ها توصیه می‌شود. با توجه به وجود نهال‌های جوان بنه در دو منطقه چهکند و چنشت می‌توان نتیجه گیری کرد که امکان گسترش پوشش گیاهی بنه در این مناطق وجود دارد. به جهت شیوع آفت کرم مغز خوار بنه در برخی مناطق (به ویژه افضل آباد) بررسی روش‌های مختلف مبارزه با این آفت ضروری است. در مورد بهره برداری اقتصادی از این رویشگاه‌ها پیشنهاد می‌شود در خصوص چگونگی استخراج سقز (به ویژه در افضل آباد) و همچنین امکان پیوند زدن پسته روی پایه بنه مطالعاتی صورت گیرد. تفاصيل المقالة

        Background and objective: Agricultural lands under pistachio crop are expanded in the Bahadoran area due to the high profitability of production. Therefore, accurate estimation of pistachio water requirements and efficient use of water is essential where water resources are insufficient. This study evaluates the performance of METRIC in estimating pistachio evapotranspiration in a semi-arid region. Materials and methods: The satellite images utilized in this study were consisting of three clouds free LANDSAT TM5 data acquired on 28 April 2010, 17 Jul 2010, and 2 Aug 2010. These images in Tagged Image File Format were downloaded from the U.S. Geological Survey Global Visualization Viewer website. Geometric correction of images was performed by collecting 20 numbers of well-dispersed ground control points. First-order polynomial transformation with nearest neighbor resampling method was applied to each image to fit the image coordinate to the coordinate of ground control points. The accuracy of the geo-referencing was evaluated by calculation of root mean square error and it was controlled to be less than half the size of the original pixel. Then two other scenes were co-registered based on this image and a subset of interest areas was generated from image scenes. Radiometric and atmospheric calibration was performed first by converting original digital numbers to radiance.Results and conclusion: METRIC estimates the average ET for the image on April 28, July 17, and August 2 at 2.9, 4.2, and 3.1 mm per day, respectively. تفاصيل المقالة

        Green chemistry has fostered research on recyclable, insoluble, and easily separable heterogeneous catalysts. Carbon materials are widely used for renewable energy and environmental studies. Here, we used green Pistachio peel, a biomass waste for the synthesis of magnetic carbon-based solid acid (Fe3O4@C-SO3H) by carbonization and sulfonation. The physicochemical properties of the nanocatalyst were characterized using XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM, TGA, VSM, and TEM. The catalytic activity of Fe3O4@C-SO3H was investigated in the synthesis of isoxazole-5(4H)-one, 1-amido alkyl-2-naphthol, pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole, and 2,3-dihydro quinazoline-4(1H)-one derivative, and some of the synthesized compounds were screened for their anti-microbial activity. Furthermore, the recovery and reuse of the catalyst were demonstrated six times without detectible loss inactivity. The concentration of H+ loaded on the Fe3O4@C-SO3H was reported to be 1.3 mmol g-1. The well-defined Fe3O4@C-SO3H core&ndash;shell heterostructures exhibited high stability, efficient recyclability (6 cycles). تفاصيل المقالة

        The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of tannic acid (TA) and pistachio by-product tannin extract (PBE) on N utilization and efficiency of microbial nitrogen synthesis (EMNS) in Saanen dairy goats. The experimental design was a change over design with three treatments and three periods using six mid lactation multiparous dairy goats. Tannic acid solution and PBE were added to fresh alfalfa at ensiling to get the final concentration of about 1% tannin as dry matter (DM) basis. Dietary treatments were as follows: 1) untreated alfalfa silage (AS), 2) AS treated with TA (AS+TA) and 3) AS treated with PBE (AS+PBE). Intake of DM, organic matter (OM) and N and also milk yield and composition (as percent or as g/d) were not affected by tannin additions. A considerable shift occurred in the pattern of N excretion in goats fed PBE diet compared to control silage diet. Urinary N losses had a tendency (P&lt;0.10) to lower (17.4 vs. 19.2 g/d) and fecal N losses was higher for goats fed AS + PBE compared with those fed the AS silage diet (14.6 vs. 12.6 g/d). As a proportion of N intake or as g N loss per d, retained N was higher (P&lt;0.05) in goats fed AS + PBE compared to those fed the control diet. Microbial nitrogen synthesis (MN) was not affected by tannin additions. However, a trend (P&lt;0.10) for less efficiency of microbial nitrogen synthesis (EMN) was observed in tannin fed goats compared to those fed the control diet. Although, tannins added to AS may exert some beneficial effects on N utilization and also environmental N outputs, they may interfere with rumen fermentation lead to decrease in EMN in goats especially those fed with PBE. تفاصيل المقالة

        This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of dietary addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) or activated sodium bentonite as tannins deactivation materials on the performance of Saanen goats fed diets containing pistachio by-products (PBP). Twenty-one Saanen male goats (27&plusmn;3 kg, 10 months) were assigned to three dietary treatments in a completely randomized design and fed for 60 days. Three experimental diets consisted of a diet containing 30% dry matter (DM) pistachio by-products with no additive (control); control diet supplemented with PEG at 1.0% of DM (PEG group), and control diet supplemented with activated sodium bentonite at 1.0% of DM (G-bind group). Results indicated that dry matter intake (DMI), total gain, average daily gain (ADG), and ruminal pH were not affected by treatments (P&ge;0.05). There were no significant differences among treatments in hematological parameters (P&ge;0.05) except monocyte count (P&lt;0.05). The plasma concentrations of total triglycerides (TG) decreased (P&lt;0.05) by adding G-bind. Serum Insulin concentration was also increased significantly (P&lt;0.05) in the PEG group compared to the control. Besides, the G-bind increased the calcium content of this muscle compared to the control and PEG group (P&lt;0.05). Zinc content in muscle showed a significant increase in the PEG treatments in comparison to other experimental groups (P&lt;0.05). Furthermore, Iron (Fe) content in muscle improved by both additives (P&lt;0.05). Data showed that there were no significant differences among treatments for hair fiber characteristics (P&ge;0.05). It can be concluded that activated sodium bentonite can be an appropriate substitute for PEG as a tannin-deactivation material in diets containing 30% DM PBP for feeding goats. تفاصيل المقالة

        Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the crude protein fractionation, in vitro gas production and the biological effects of tannins in alfalfa silage treated with different levels of pistachio by-products (PB) extract. PB was soaked in water with a ratio of 1:5 (w/v) for 12 h. After filtering and concentrating, the crude extract was added to fresh alfalfa to a final concentration of 1%, 2% and 3% tannin dry matter (DM) and then ensiled for 60 days. Four treatments were as follows: alfalfa silage without addition of PB extract as a control (T0), PB tannin added at 1% (T1), 2% (T2) and 3% DM (T3). Treating alfalfa silage decreased the formation of non-protein nitrogen (NPN) compounds and increased crude protein fraction B2 during ensilage. Cumulative in vitro gas production after 96 h incubation, organic matter digestibility (OMD) and metabolizable energy (ME) decreased in T2 and T3 compared to the control. The gas production and short chain fatty acids (SCFA) of treated silages increased in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) which indicates that the presence of phenolic compounds and tannins depressed the gas production. It can be concluded that treating alfalfa silage with PB extract can reduce the nitrogen losses during ensilage and degradability of organic matter (OM) by microbial inhibition. تفاصيل المقالة

        This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of processing protein meals by tannin extracted from pistachio by-product on apparent total tract digestibility, ruminal fermentation and performance of dairy cows. For tannin extraction, one kilogram of sun-dried pistachio by-products was immersed in four liters of water for 48 h. Then, pistachio by-products were removed from the water and the extract obtained was sprayed on protein supplements (canola meal and soybean meal) with an equal ratio of 1:1 (L/kg) and was dried in the shade. Eight nulliparous Holstein dairy cows with 27 &plusmn; 49days in milk(DIM) and milk production of 38 &plusmn; 4 kg/d were used in the form of a replicated Latin square (4&times;4) design. The experiment was performed in four 21-day periods consisting of 14 days for adaptation and 7 days for recording. The experimental treatments were as follows: 1) ration based on soybean meal, 2) ration based on soybean meal processed with the extracted tannin by water-extracted tannin from pistachio by-product, 3) ration based on canola meal and 4) ration based on canola meal processed with water-extracted tannin from pistachio by-product. Spraying extracted tannin on protein supplement increase concentration by 370 and 246% in soybean meal and canola meal, respectively. Intake of dry matter (DM) and total tract apparent digestibility were not affected by treatments. Although daily milk production (kg/d) and milk protein percentage were not affected by treatments, cows fed tannins produced more milk and milk protein. Tannins decreased rumen ammonia concentration only in the canola diets. Soybean treatment had the highest and processed canola treatment with tannin had the lowest rates of ammonia nitrogen in the rumen. Treated protein supplements with tannins decreased ruminal pH, soybean treatments showed the highest and processed canola treatment had the lowest pH rates with tannin. Although blood urea nitrogen was not affected by the treatments, processing the rations with tannin reduced blood urea nitrogen linearly however; other blood metabolites were not affected by treatments. Results of this study show that under our experimental conditions, processing protein supplements with tannin had no negative effect on animals, Further experiments should be done in this regard and on the rations containing higher levels of tannin. تفاصيل المقالة

        The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of adding different levels of molasses (1-5%) on the silage quality, in vitro methane production and in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) of pistachio (Pistachio vera) by-product and wheat straw mixture silages. For this purpose, silages were prepared with pistachio by-product (85%) and wheat straw (15%) without molasses (control group), and with addition of molasses from 1% to 5% (treatment groups). All the treatments consisted of five replicate silos, and they were prepared in 1.5 L glass jar silos. While silage pH and acetic acid values decreased with addition of molasses levels (P&lt;0.05), silage lactic acid values increased (P&lt;0.05). Butyric and propionic acid were not detected in any of the silages. Addition of all levels of molasses increased in vitro methane production, IVOMD and metabolizable energy (ME) values (P&lt;0.05). As a result, fresh pistachio by-product can be ensiled with addition of wheat straw and molasses to produce good quality silage. It can be concluded that this by product can be ensiled well and used as a roughage source with mixture of other roughage sources for animal nutrition in the regions where fresh pistachio by product is available. تفاصيل المقالة

        The nutritive values of non-processed and processed pistachio peel with Neurospora sitophila were evaluated. The chemical composition of samples was evaluated by laboratory analysis. An in vitro digestibility study was done to determine digestibility coefficients of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM). Digestible organic matter in the dry matter (DOMD) to estimate the metabolizable energy (ME) content of pistachio peel samples. In addition, the disappearance of DM, OM and crude protein (CP) of the samples was determined by an in situ method. For each sample 12 bags were incubated for 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h and their kinetics were described using the equation p= a + b(1-e-c(t-tl)). The nutritive value index (NIV) of samples was calculated using the equation: NIV= a + 0.4b + 200c. The collected data were analyzed in a completely randomized design. The average total phenolic and total tannin compounds, DM percentage and digestion coefficient of DM in pistachio peel decreased (P&lt;0.05) by processing. However, the percentage of CP, acid detergent fiber (ADF), acid detergent lignin (ADL), effective degradability of DM, OM and CP, and NIV of DM, OM and CP increased (P&lt;0.05). The results showed that processing of pistachio peel with Neurospora sitophila, decreased compounds of phenol and tannin and increased its CP and effective degradability. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this trial effects of feeding pistachio by-product silage with date waste (PBSD) on dry matter intake (DMI), live weight gain and blood parameters of lambs were studied. Ensiling of pistachio by-products (PBP) with date waste increased dry matter (DM) and metabolizable energy (ME), but decreased the percentages of crude protein (CP), total tannins and phenolic compounds (P&lt;0.05). Treatment diets were: 1) control (without PBSD); 2) diet containing 7% PBSD; 3) diet containing 14% PBSD and 4) diet containing 21% PBSD (DM basis). Forty male lambs were allocated to four treatments in a completely randomized design. All groups were fed a control diet for 21 days prior to the start of the 90-day experiment. Thereafter, one group (control) continued to receive the same diet while other groups received the diets containing PBSD. At the end of experiment, all lambs were slaughtered on the same day. The lambs fed diets containing 14 or 21% PBSD had more DMI than those fed with the control diet (P&lt;0.05). Feeding 21% PBSD significantly (P&lt;0.05) increased final weight, live daily gain, the weight of the warm or cold carcass and lean meat. The lambs fed 14 and 21% PBSD had lower TG than lambs fed the control diet (P&lt;0.05). Feeding 21% PBSD significantly (P&lt;0.05) increased the blood total protein and albumin concentration when compared with the control group. The concentrations of serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) and serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) enzymes in blood were not affected. The results showed that feeding 21% PBSD to fattening lambs increased their performance, and it had no adverse effects on liver function. تفاصيل المقالة

        This study was carried out to investigate the effects of treated protein supplements with tannin extracted from pistachio by-product (P-PB) on in vitro gas production using fistulated sheep. One portion of P-PB was mixed with four portions of water for 48 h. The extracted product was sprayed on soybean meal (SBM) or canola meal (CM) with an equal ratio (1:1 v/w) and dried in the shade. The experimental treatments included in this study were: 1) untreated soybean meal (USB), 2) soybean meal treated with tannin extract (SBTT), 3) untreated canola meal (UCM) and 4) canola meal treated with tannin extract (CMTT). Kinetics of gas production was fitted to an exponential model. After 96 h of incubation, the medium size of each syringe was used for determining ammonia N (NH3-N) concentration using distillation method. The results obtained from this study showed that spraying tannin extract on protein supplement increased the amount of tannin to 4.4, 3.13in CM or SBM, respectively. Although gas production rate, fraction b and fraction c decreased by treated protein supplements in comparison with untreated protein supplements, the effects were not significant (P&gt;0.05). The effect of tannin extract on NH3-N was significant (P&le;0.05). The highest and the lowest content of NH3 were for SBM with the lowest and CMTT with the highest content of tannin, respectively. Tannin from P-PB decreased organic matter digestibility (OMD), metabolizable energy (ME) and short chain fatty acid (SCFA) concentrations in treated protein supplements (P&le;0.05). Untreated soybean meal and CMTT had the highest and the lowest content of OMD, ME and SCFA, respectively. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this study, the situation of Iran, U.S and Turkey's Pistachio export is investigated. to this purpose, Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) Index is calculated based on Agricultural and total economy export, separately, then forecasted by using Auto- Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) approached, for 2008-2013. The results show that considering both commodity baskets, Turkey and Iran had comparative advantage in Pistachio export in 1982-2007, but U.S did not. Also, forecasting RCA index, based on both commodity baskets, show the improvement of U.S Pistachio export situation, unlike the values of RCA index forecasting for Iran and Turkey is falling. Therefore, it is recommended that Iran and Turkey attempt to identify new consumer markets in order to retain their market shares in pistachio export. Following the U.S imposed policies during last six years which improved its pistachio export, Iran and Turkey can increase their market shares. تفاصيل المقالة

        Given the strategic remarkable rank of pistachio in non-oil exports, inputs&rsquo; management in its production is so important. As the scarcest input in agricultural sector, water is considered to be among the most important inputs of pistachio production.Water inadequate supply and limate conditions increase water demand in pistachio growing areas. It is necessary to determine the real value or price of water for establishing a balance between its demand and supply. Therefore, this study has aimed at estimation of water economic value. The method used in this research is the production function approach. Requested data sets were obtained from the questionnaires was filled out for crop years of 2013-2014. The results show that the average economic value of irrigation water is 50360 RLS but the average price paid by farmers is 1771 RLS per cubic meter of water. Thus, there is a wide gap between water value and the price paid by farmers with which appropriate pricing of water based on its economic value can be eliminated. تفاصيل المقالة

        Capacity of garden productions in Iran is such that is accounted as a country that produces thirteen garden products in the world but despite excellent condition in Iran for producing garden products, natural disasters damage production of fruits in the country therefore farmers incur a loss. Pistachio tree has been in danger of destruction and dryness. Thus, in order to reduce loss incurred on trees, it is necessary to insure the tree. This study is aimed to investigate factors affecting willingness towards insurance of pistachio tree and to estimate willingness to pay premium for pistachio tree in Rafsanjan located in Kerman province. For this purpose, methods of contingent valuation and double bounded dichotomous have been used. Research data were obtained by field method and interview with 184 pistachio gardeners in 2012. Results suggest that willingness to pay premium of pistachio tree in central part, Anar and Kashkuieh has been estimated by 1953, 3255.8 and 1183.3 IRR per tree respectively. Considering results and high risk destruction of pistachio trees, it is suggested that premium of pistachio tree is offered to reduce risk and loss of pistachio gardeners. In order to determine premium in Rafsanjan, WTP calculated in this study can be used. تفاصيل المقالة

        In recent decades, spring frost considered a serious threat in pistachio production (Pistacia vera). Considering that, Iran is one of the most important centers of pistachio production and has the highest variety of pistachios in the world, the identification of domestic and wild different rootstocks and their crosses to reach cold-tolerant rootstocks could be one of the effective solutions to face the challenge of spring frost. In this study, cold tolerance was assessed in fourteen rootstocks of pistachio domestic species (Badami Zarand, Sarakhs and Qazvini), interspecific hybrids (Qazvini&times;Khinjuk, Qazvini&times;Mutica, Qazvini &times; Baneh Baghi, Qazvini &times; Atlantica, Qazvini&times; Integerrima), non-domesticated species (Atlantica (P. atlantica), Integerrima, Khinjuk, Sarakhs, Mutica (P. atlantica sub. mutica) and Baneh Baghi (P. mutica &times; P. vera)) and UCB1 hybrid rootstock at low temperatures (4, 0 and -4 &deg;C) for 2 hours. This experiment was conducted in a factorial completely randomized design with three replications on one-year-old seedlings in greenhouse conditions. The results showed that the rate of ion leakage, malondialdehyde and injury index percentage was significant (p &lt;0.01) and their values were decreased in the cold-tolerant rootstocks than the cold-sensitive rootstocks. The interaction between treatments showed that the temperature of - 4 &deg;C caused a significant reduction in ion leakage and malondialdehyde in the cold-tolerant rootstocks. Proline was increased in the cold-tolerant rootstocks compare to cold-sensitive rootstocks. The results of cation leakage percentage were significant in temperature and rootstocks (p &lt;0.01). The results showed that the highest percentage of cation leakage related to potassium and there was a positive and significant correlation between calcium and magnesium and cell membrane stability. According to the results, the most sensitive rootstock was UCB1, Integerrima, Khinjuk and Baneh Baghi, respectively. Hybrids Qazvini , Baneh Baghi, Khinjuk and Integerrima rootstocks were significantly reduced under low-temperature stress. Mutica, Qazvini&times;Mutica, Sarakhs, Qazvini, Qazvini&times;Atlantica rootstocks, improved physiological and biochemical traits and maintained cell membrane integrity and finally showed greater tolerance to frost and freezing temperatures, which can be considered in the breeding program. تفاصيل المقالة

        Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites produced by Aspergillus flavus, A. parasiticus, A. tamari, A. bombycis and A. nomius species. Relative humidity (RH) is one of the most important parameters influencing the development of aflatoxins in pistachio orchards by Aspergillus species. The type of irrigation system affects density and frequency of the Aspergillus species in the soil. In the current study, to evaluate fungus population density three irrigation treatments (flood, drip-surface, and subsurface irrigation) were applied. In order to investigate the population density of Aspergillus flavus in different irrigation systems, sampling was done from soil and kernels of Shahpasand cultivar at Damghan's Pistachio Research Station under various types of irrigation systems implementation. The samples were inoculated on AFPA medium using serial dilution method. The results indicated that the population density of A. flavus ranged various in pistachio kernels and soils between different types of irrigation system. Through subsurface irrigation, the population density of fungal colonies was significantly at the lowest level. The results showed that the use of modified adopted subsurface irrigation system had been effective in reducing soil surface moisture and led to decrease of population density in comparison with the conventional surface drip irrigation. تفاصيل المقالة

        Pistachio suffers from some physiological disorders such as fruit abscission, endocarp lesion, blankness, non-split, early-split and deformed nuts. In this experiment, the effects of calcium nitrate (2 gr/lit), calcium chloride (2 gr/lit), boric acid (200 ppm) and their combination treatments were investigated on physiological disorders of &lsquo;Kaleh-Ghoochi&rsquo; pistachio. Foliar application was applied one week earlier and two weeks later than full bloom. Then, physiological disorders and enzyme activities, such as catalase (CAT), poly phenol oxidase (PPO), peroxidase (POD), phenylalanine ammonilyase (PAL) and total phenol level of nut-shells and proline level of leaves were tested. Results specified that all applied treatments diminished fruit abscission. Also, all treatments, excepting boric acid, diminished endocarp lesion and non-split nut disorders but there were no considerable differences between the treatments. Results specified that all applied treatments decreased the blank nut but there were no considerable differences between the treatments. In this research, the lowest deformed nuts with 10.38 percent and early split nut with 2.48 percent were observed by application of both calcium nitrate and boric acid. Meanwhile, the highest split nuts with 56.55 percent were obtained by application of calcium nitrate and boric acid. Generally, all treatments especially use of both calcium nitrate and boric acid diminish the catalase, poly phenol oxidase, peroxidase, and phenylalanine ammonilyase enzymes activities and moreover total phenol of nut-shells and proline of leaves. تفاصيل المقالة

        Micrografting can be used to produce healthy seedlings, assess scion-rootstock compatibility and promote precocity. The first objective of this project was to study the impacts of in vitro micropropagation of four major Iranian pistachio cultivars, namely &lsquo;Ahmad Aghaei&rsquo;, &lsquo;Akbari&rsquo;, &lsquo;Badami Sefid&rsquo; and &lsquo;Kalle Ghochi&rsquo; in two different medium Murashige and Skoog (MS) and Driver and Kuniyuki Walnut (DKW) at different concentrations of benzyl adenine (0, 0.5, 1 and 2 mg L-1). The second objective of this project was to examine the effects of &lsquo;Badami-Riz-Zarand&rsquo; and &lsquo;Akbari&rsquo; rootstocks and micro-scion size (less than 5 and between 5-10 mm) on micrografting of the pistachio cultivars. The results showed that explants of the Akbari cultivar had the highest survival rate of meristems establishment in the DKW medium with 1 mg L-1 benzyl adenine. In the proliferation stage, &lsquo;Akbari&rsquo; showed the highest values ​​for proliferation rate, shoot number, shoot length and leaf number whereas, &lsquo;Kalle Ghochi&rsquo; had the lowest values ​​for these traits. Moreover, no significant differences were observed between &lsquo;Ahmad Aghaei&rsquo;, &lsquo;Akbari&rsquo; and &lsquo;Badami Sefid&rsquo; plantlets in terms of quality during the growing season. The micrografting results on seedlings showed that the scion of the Badami Sefid cultivar with a 5-10 mm size on the &lsquo;Badami-Riz-Zarand&rsquo; rootstock had the highest grafting success rate and the lowest cultivar; in contrast, was &lsquo;Kalle Ghochi&rsquo; with a scion less than 5 mm on &lsquo;Akbari&rsquo;. تفاصيل المقالة

        The rate of pistachio export in Iran has decreased since 2010 onwards while the United States exports has risen sharply at the same time period. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the factors which may affect negatively on exports of Iran&rsquo;s pistachio. For this purpose, the macroeconomic variables and pistachio exports data of the desired period were used. Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model was used for this study. The results indicated that economic growth, appreciation of the exchange rate and bank facilities remained positive and had significant effect, while liquidity growth has a significant negative effect on pistachio export. The coefficient of ECM (-1) for pistachio is -0.0642. The low amount of error correction coefficient indicated the low rate of adjustment in pistachio exports. Only 6% of the imbalance error of pre- period adjusted in each period. Therefore, solely relying on short-run policies will not be beneficial. Based on the obtained result, it is recommended to provide financial resources for pistachio producers and exporters, domestic liquidity should be directed toward productive economic activities, domestic inflation should be deflated and adjusted with exchange rate and real appreciation of the exchange rate, should be considered by improved exchange market management. تفاصيل المقالة

        This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of soil application of humic acid on growth and physiological indices of pistachio seedlings ("Badami Zarand" rootstock) under drought stress. This experiment was arranged as a completely randomized design with three replications in greenhouse conditions. The experimental treatments consisted of humic acid (0, 30 and 60 gr in 4 kg-1 soil in pot) and irrigation intervals (7, 20 and 30 days). The studied growth parameters included of stem height, leaf number, leaf area, stem diameter, biomass of root and shoot and physiological indices in leaves such as relative water content(RWC), relative water loss(RWL), leaf water content(LWC), excised leaf water retention (ELWR), excised leaf water loss (ELWL) and relative water protection(RWP). In this experiment, the results showed that relative water content reduced and relative water loss increased in leaf in irrigation interval of 30 days. The results indicated that the application of humic acid increased the vegetative growth of pistachio seedling in comparison with the control under high irrigation interval (p&lt;0.05). The results also showed that relative water content and relative water protection significantlyincreased with the application of humic acid (p&lt;0.05). These results indicated that the pistachio seedlings were sensitive to water stress and the application of humic acid under drought stress could be an appropriate managementstrategy to improve the growth of seedlings in pistachio orchards in arid and semi-arid areas of Iran. تفاصيل المقالة

        Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites that produced mainly by Aspergillus species in pistachio nuts or other food products. They are toxic carcinogens and mutagens that cause a variety of adverse effects such as acute and chronic poisoning, inducing cancer initiation and congenital malformation in humans and animals. This study aimed to determine level of knowledge, attitude, and practices concerning aflatoxin contamination in pistachio and its pathogenicity among members of the general public in Damghan city, Iran. This descriptive cross sectional study enrolled 297 people from the population of Damghan city in Iran in 2019 through multistage cluster sampling. Data analysis was performed by SPSS version 16. In this study, 57% (n=162) of the participants were male and the mean age was 41.81&plusmn;12.1 year. Majority (40.7%) of study subjects had very poor level of knowledge, but a positive attitude (68.7%) about the aflatoxin toxicity. Also, more than 85% of study participants sometimes or always had a good practice regarding prevention of aflatoxin contamination. A significant positive correlation was found between the level of education and the knowledge and attitude scores of the participants (p &lt;0.001). Age and practice of subjects had a significant correlation (r = 0.149, p = 0.021). The findings of this study indicate a poor knowledge level of people in Damghan city. Therefore, strategies such as providing necessary training program in order to improve the level of knowledge, attitude and practices of individuals about aflatoxin should be considered. تفاصيل المقالة

        Pistachio is one of the most important and strategic crops in Iran which is typically cultivated under relatively saline soils and hot weather conditions. The present paper represents the results of an experiment which mainly focused on evaluating the tolerance of pistachio female and male genotypes to salinity stress. This experiment was carried out at the greenhouse of the Pistachio Research Center at Kerman, Iran, during 2016. The hybrids obtained from crosses between 17 male genotypes with a female genotype &ldquo;Fandoghi&rdquo; and also the combinations of 19 female genotypes after crossing with a male genotype &ldquo;M15&rdquo; were cultured in a completely randomized design with three replications under salt stress (4.2 dS m-1) without drainage in the greenhouse condition for a period of four months. The results show an increasing of the average soil salinity in pots to 32 dS m-1.The results also indicate that salinity might negatively affect growth parameters of pistachio. Therefore, selecting genotypes in this condition might lead to release tolerant genotypes. During the research, some yielded hybrids indicated the higher values for morphological parameters, the lower and higher concentration of Na+ and K+ under salinity stress, respectively. Meanwhile, it was found that, &lsquo;Khanjari Damghan&rsquo; and &lsquo;Mohseni&rsquo; among female parents, and M10, M15, and M25 among male parents are possible tolerant genotypes for further assessment in the area and also for releasing new rootstocks. The analysis of two clusters, i.e., cluster 1 (&lsquo;Khanjari Damghan&rsquo;, &lsquo;Mohseni&rsquo;, &lsquo;Lak Sirizi&rsquo;, &lsquo;Ebrahimi&rsquo;, &lsquo;Sifadini&rsquo;, &lsquo;Badami Zarand&rsquo;, &lsquo;Sephid Peste Nogh&rsquo;, and &lsquo;Post Kaghazi&rsquo;) and cluster 2 (M10, M15, M24, M25, and M26) for female and male genotypes, respectively, exhibits that higher morphological parameters and also higher tolerance to salinity. More importantly, the analysis showed that these two categorized sets of genotypes can be proper choices for future breeding programs or to use directly in salinity conditions. تفاصيل المقالة

        Pistachio hull, as the dominant component of pistachio processing wastes, is a source of phenolics with antioxidant properties. Extracting these compounds from pistachio wastes has recently attracted a lot of attention. The current study aimed to identify the optimal conditions for extracting phenolics from pistachio hulls. Firstly, some parameters such as different sample to solvent ratios (1:10, 1:20, and 1:40), extraction temperatures (25, 45, and 65&deg;C), and duration times (1, 2, and 3 h) were evaluated under extracting solvent of water. The content of total phenolics and antioxidant activity were determined using spectrophotometric methods. The results indicated that the highest phenolics (~35 mg g-1) were extracted at 2 h extraction time, 65 &deg;C, and the sample to solvent ratio of 1:10 (optimum condition by the solvent of water). Secondly, other organic solvents of ethanol, methanol, and acetone 50% were evaluated to identify the best solvent under optimal conditions. All of these organic solvents were more efficient than water in extracting total phenolics (with antioxidant property) from pistachio hulls. However, the highest amount of total phenolics (~47 mg g-1) was extracted by ethanol. Optimizing the extraction of phenolic compounds from pistachio hulls would be important in terms of reducing human and environmental risks caused by the waste accumulation, as well as producing naturally beneficial compounds and using them instead of synthetic antioxidants in the human diet. تفاصيل المقالة

        The required capital and liquidity for agricultural production are always a limiting factor in Iranian agriculture. Since, income is a combination of production and product price, one of the major problems of the country's pistachio industry is the high yield fluctuations and high price fluctuations. In the present study, the mean and yield fluctuations of four pistachio commercial cultivars (Kaleh-Ghoochi, Ahmad-Aghaei, Akbari, and Owhadi) were evaluated in the Anar and Rafsanjan orchards in Kerman province. The information used in this study was collected through a questionnaire from farmers. The orchards were selected by multi-stage random method. From the total number of villages in the two regions, some sites were selected based on random. Then, some farmers were selected randomly. By referring to the selected farmers, an orchard was selected from each cultivar. The number of studied orchards was 100 forms in each cultivar. To measure the yield per hectare, the amount of actual product that had achieved in the last six years. Finally, the mean and yield fluctuations of 4 pistachio commercial cultivars were analyzed. The results showed that the studied cultivars had a significant difference in the yield, profit net and coefficient variation at a probability level of 5%. The results indicated that the Ahmad-Aghaei cultivar was the best in average yield (1758.7 kg ha-1) and net profit per hectare (292530201 Rials ha-1) and then Akbari cultivar. However, performance fluctuations in the Owhadi cultivar (53.06%) was lower than the other three cultivars. Base on the results, the Kaleh-Ghoochi cultivar was minimum in average yield (1073.6 kg ha-1) and production fluctuations (73.14%) than the others. Therefore, if the aim is to minimize the income fluctuations of pistachio farmers, depending on the region, one of Ahmad-Aghaei or Akbari cultivars should be planted. It can be concluded that among commercial cultivars, prioritization and justification for planting and propagation were Ahmad-Aghaei, Akbari, Owhadi and Kaleh-Ghoochi, respectively. تفاصيل المقالة

        The aim of this research was to estimate the impacts of a combination of titanium oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles and fennel essential oil (FEO) on the chemical and sensory properties of fresh raw Abbas Ali pistachio. The cassava starch/bovine gelatin biofilms with Nano-TiO2 (1, 3, and 5% w/w), and essential oil (1, and 3% w/w) were fabricated by the casting technique. The sensory and chemical properties and the growth of Aspergillus flavus were evaluated during three weeks of storage at 4&deg;C. After 21-day conservation, Aspergillus flavus count of the control specimen was the highest whereas bionanocomposite film containing FEO enabled lower amounts of Aspergillus flavus population. RP-HPLC analysis findings represented that packaging with starch/gelatin had a positive effect on the aflatoxin B1 content of pistachio, and the lowest amount of aflatoxin B1 was related to the biofilm containing 5% Nano-TiO2/3% FEO. Sensory tests indicated that pistachios packaged with Nano-TiO2/essential oil had a significant effect on taste and general acceptability, and the highest score of sensory properties was related to the pistachio sample packaged with starch/gelatin/5% Nano-Tio2/3% FEO. Results showed that cassava starch/bovine gelatin film containing 5% Nano-TiO2/3% FEO and control sample had significantly higher and lower moisture and carbohydrate soluble content than the treatments. At last, the findings demonstrate that cassava starch/bovine gelatin/5% Nano-TiO2/3% FEO active film improved the chemical and sensory factors and had the positive effect on Aspergillus flavus population reduction of pistachio nuts; hence, it can be applied as biopackaging for fresh pistachio. تفاصيل المقالة

        Arsenic (As) is a natural occurring element which poses a potential risk to groundwater quality, as well as food safety through As transportation in soil-water-plant systems. The present study investigated the level of As contamination in water, soil, and pistachio plants (leaves and seeds) in 7 regions of Kerman province, as one of the most important pistachio cultivation regions in Iran. The results revealed that the concentration in the soil of the sampled areas varied from 15 to 1200 mg/kg The highest As concentrations was observed in the Shahr-e Babak, Bayaz, and Sirjan regions. The As concentration in the water of the sampled areas was between 0.62 and 483 &micro;g/L, and the regions of Sirjan and Shahr-e Babak had the highest levels of arsenic contamination. The highest accumulation of As in pistachio leaves and seeds was observed in the Shahr-e Babak, Bayaz, and Sirjan areas, which had a positive correlation with the As concentration in the soil and water of the area. Thus, the level of As in fresh pistachios in Shahr-e Babak, Sirjan, and Bayaz regions can be considered a threat to the safety of the Iranian population. تفاصيل المقالة

        Pistachios (one of 50 healthy foods) are essential for human health. The ripening stage is of great importance for food processing, as the chemical composition of this fruit is heavily influenced by its maturity level. For instance, as premature pistachio has unique green color, it can be used in desserts, sauces, ice creams, and chocolates, while mature pistachios often used as snacks. Considering that the nutrients in the pistachio kernel are dependent on various factors, especially environmental conditions, determining the amount of these compounds during the ripening stages of the pistachio kernel can considerably contribute to the appropriate harvest time and increase the duration of its storage period. Biochemical compounds such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are less affected by growth but may affect pistachio kernel taste and its nutritional value and health. The highest amounts of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are available at the time of optimal harvesting when the hull is fully ripe. Phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of pistachio decrease during ripening, and oil and fatty acid levels increase with the ripening period. In the case of the color parameter, the L factor decreases during the ripening period, and the a and b factors increase. Different stages of ripening have a significant effect on pistachio compounds. Nutrients in pistachio kernel are dependent on various factors that their diagnosis in different stages of growth contributes considerably to harvesting at the right time and increasing the storage period of this product. تفاصيل المقالة

        The efficacy of Pyradim &reg; DF with pyraclostrobin+dimetomorf active ingredient was evaluated in comparison with fungicides Captan, Nordox, Mishocap in the control of pistachio Alternaria late blight. The experiment was carried out in Markazi (Zarandieh), Kerman and Semnan in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 8 treatments and 4 replications. Treatments were applied at two stages (before bud swelling and after the petals fall and fruit set). The data were analyzed using SAS software and mean comparison of disease severity and disease incidence percentages were done by Duncan's multiple range test (P =5%). The results showed that Pyradim with dosage of 1 and 0.75 per thousand has a good efficacy in disease control. So that the efficiency of dosage 1g L-1 in reducing the severity of the disease compared to the control without spraying was about 88% in Zarandieh and about 77% in Kerman and Semnan. The efficacy of Pyradim at the dose of 0.75g L-1 in Zarandieh, Kerman and Semnan was about 76%, 72% and 74%, respectively, but the dose of 0.5g L-1 Pyradim was not acceptable and in the three studied areas was between 52 to 55%. Captan fungicide also had acceptable efficacy in controlling pistachio Alternaria late blight disease, so that its efficiency was more than 70% in Kerman and Semnan and 68% in Zarandieh. In contrast, Nordox and Mishocap fungicides did not have good efficiency. Therefore, 0.75g L-1 pyradim is recommended for controlling pistachio Alternaria late blight disease. تفاصيل المقالة

        Pistachio green kernel, is obtained by removing the red testa of around the whole kernel. In this study, the suitable peeling conditions for removing the testa of the kernel were determined using hot water in five termperature levels of 75, 80, 85, 90, and 95&deg;C and diffetent hot water immersion times of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 minutes in riped and unripe samples. Quality factors including the number of pistachio green kernels with remained red testa, free fatty acids, and peroxide value were measured at 3 and 6 months after peeling. Sensory evaluations (including appearance, color, taste, and texture) of the best treatments from the previous stage, were measured by 10 trained panelists. Peeling performance were not good using temperatures of 75 and 80&deg;C in both riped and unripe samples. Peeling performance of 100%, was obtained at 85 and 90&deg;C (6, 8 and 10 min) and 95&deg;C (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 min) kernel immersion in hot water in riped and unripe cultivars. The qualitative factors, free fatty acids and peroxide value, has have increased in both riped and unripe samples during storage. After 6 months of storage, the lowest peroxide value was observed at 90&deg;C (10 min immersion in hot water) and 95&deg;C (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 min immersion in hot water). The minimum free fatty acid, was observed in riped ripe samples at 90&deg; C (10 min immersion) and in the unripe samples at 95&deg;C (2 and 4 min immersion). According to the comments of trained panelists, the significant differences between treatments were not observed in terms of the sensory characteristics such as taste, texture, color, and appearance at 5% level. In general, with respect to the performance of peeling, free fatty acids, peroxide value, and sensory evaluation, temperature of 95&deg;C (2 min kernel immersion in hot water) can be used for peeling of riped and unripe samples. تفاصيل المقالة

        Roasted pistachios are among the most delicious nuts in the world. In addition to their pleasant taste, they have significant nutritional and antioxidant effects. This study aims to evaluate the nutritional, sensory, color, and texture attributes of roasted pistachio nuts using fixed and rotary methods at 160 &deg;C during three storage times of 0, 3, and 6 months, at the ambient temperature (20&plusmn;2&deg;C). The results showed that the moisture percentage of the samples decreased and increased after the roasting process and during the 6-month period of storage, respectively. The available fat percentage of the samples showed no significant change after roasting and storage. The protein content of the roasted samples declined because of the Maillard reaction. Although carbohydrates are less sensitive to temperature than proteins, after the roasting process, the sugar and starch content of the pistachio nuts decreased. Due to the thermal process, the texture was more fragile, and the hardness of the samples decreased. Because of the caramelization and browning reactions that happened during the roasting process, the color of the samples turned dark and less green. These changes intensified after the 6 months of storage. According to the results, quality changes were not significant in the two methods of roasting and storage (p&le; 0.05). Also the temperature and storage time had no specific destructive effect on the nutritional, sensory, color and texture properties of roasted pistachios. Therefore, the use of these two methods of roasting at 160℃ for 15 minutes is recommended. تفاصيل المقالة

        Drought is one of the main important adverse environmental events, certainly has an impact on plant growth and development. Pistachio is cultivated in areas where soil water deficits and salinity conditions are higher than normal. In most orchards, deficit irrigation is a common practice. There is only limited understanding of the physiological mechanisms pistachio uses to survive in drought. Many adaptive strategies have been developed in plants for dealing with water stress. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of drought stress on the photosynthetic, physiological and biochemical parameters in one-year-old seedlings of 12 pistachio hybrids. Therefore, a greenhouse experiment was carried out to assess the effects of two drought stress treatments (drought stress and full-irrigation) for 40 days with a subsequent two weeks&rsquo; recovery period and several parameters (pigments (total chlorophyll, anthocyanins and carotenoids), internal CO2 concentration (Ci), chloride (Cl-) ions and fluorescence parameter) were evaluated at four different times (beginning, middle and end of stress and then recovery). After the end of the stress period, the seedlings were irrigated for two weeks. Results revealed that the drought stress treatments led to a change in the studied parameters and the mechanism of drought tolerance was variable at different times. Pistacia atlantica hybrid, P. vera &ldquo;Sarakhs&rdquo; and P. vera &ldquo;Shasti&rdquo; hybrid rootstocks had the highest water use efficiency; P. vera &ldquo;Sarakhs&rdquo; hybrid, P. vera &ldquo;Khanjari&rdquo; hybrid and P. vera &ldquo;Badami&rdquo; hybrid had the highest Cl- and mesophyll efficiency. P. atlantica and P. vera &ldquo;Khanjari&rdquo; had the highest anthocyanins and carotenoids. P. vera &ldquo;Shasti&rdquo;, P. vera &ldquo;badami&rdquo;, P. mutica and P. mutica hybrid rootstocks have been able to withstand drought stress by increasing the amount of K+ ion and maintaining gas exchanges. The results also showed that the response of the rootstocks to rehydration was different. Seedlings that recovered well after rehydration had a higher tolerance threshold. The &ldquo;Khanjari&rdquo; cultivar was recovered better than the others. تفاصيل المقالة

        This experiment was performed to investigate the effect of foliar application of amino acids on improving biochemical properties and yield evaluation of the effect of drought stress on pistachio, cv. Shahpsand in Damghan city during 2019 and 2020. Statistical analysis was conducted as a factorial split-plot based on a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The main factor was irrigation intervals (35, 55, and 75 days) and sub-factors were including asparagine and glutamine amino acids at three levels (0, 150 and 300 mg L-1). The results showed that the irrigation interval had a significant effect on catalase, peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, sodium, chlorine, potassium, proline, protein, relative water content (RWC), and yield at the level of 1% probability and the maximum content of catalase, peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, chlorine, proline, and RWC were observed at 75 days irrigation interval but the highest yield and potassium were obtained at 35 days irrigation interval. Mineral concentrations of sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl), in leaves increased with increasing irrigation cycle however, the Potassium (K) concentration in leaves decreased. The highest Na concentrations and Cl were observed in 75 days, and the lowest was in 35days. The correlation coefficient between catalase and peroxidase was positive and the correlation between sodium and potassium was Negative, but the correlation between chlorine and protein was negative. Foliar application of amino acids increased plant yield and resistance to drought stress. تفاصيل المقالة

        The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a combination of zinc oxide nanoparticles (Nano-ZnO) and fennel essential oil (FEO) on the quality characteristics of fresh pistachio. The potato starch-based films containing different levels of Nano-ZnO (1, 3, and 5% w/w), and FEO (1, 2, and 3% w/w) were prepared by the casting method. The fresh Akbari pistachios were packed in these bio-nanocomposite films. The physicochemical and sensory properties and the growth of Aspergillus flavus and aflatoxin B1 production were investigated during 15 days of refrigerated storage (~ 4&deg;C). Results showed that by packaging fresh pistachios in bio-nanocomposite films, the moisture, carbohydrate, and fat contents of pistachios and the sensory parameters (texture, flavor, appearance, and overall acceptability) of them were improved during refrigerated storage. The weight loss of control significantly was higher than packed samples in bio-nanocomposite films (p&lt;0.05). Usage of bio-nanocomposite films leads to a decrease in the growth of Aspergillus flavus and aflatoxin production in pistachios during storage periods. Finally, the results demonstrated that potato starch/5% Nano-ZnO/3% FEO bio-nanocomposite film improved the physicochemical and sensory properties and had the best effect on mold spoilage reduction of fresh pistachios; hence, it can be used as packaging for fresh nuts. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this work, the concentrations of flavonoid and anthocyanin pigments determined from different pistachio (Pistacia vera) cultivars collected from Damghan and Rafsanjan, were investigated. The flavonoid compound was evaluated as aluminum chloride complex and stated as mg of rutin equivalents/100g of the sample weight. To estimate anthocyanin content, colorimetric assays were used. The highest concentrations of flavonoid compounds (25mgRu100g-1fw) were found in the Abbas Ali cultivar from Damghan, followed by Kalehghoochi and Fakhri. The lowest level of anthocyanin was obtained in Khanjari from Damghan (7&micro;molg-1fu).The amount of anthocyanin and flavonoid pigments in different tissues of pistachio fruits showed that there was no significant difference in pistachio hull and kernel. After harvest, different cultivars indicated various values for phytochemical properties and flavonoid compound of pistachio hull and kernel ranged from 12.31 to 30.3 mgRu100g-1fw and 19.22 to 27.92 mgRu100g-1fw, anthocyanin pigment of pistachio hull and kernel from 6.81 to 11.1 &micro;mol g-1fu and 4 to 18 &micro;molg-1fu, respectively. The pistachio kernel contained high amounts of flavonoid content, especially in the Fakhri cultivar, and the pistachio hull contained low levels of anthocyanin value, especially in the Akbari cultivar. Among the investigated pistachio kernel cultivars, Abbas Ali indicated higher values of anthocyanin pigment than Kalehghoochi, Akbari, Khanjari, and Fakhri. Our findings could be beneficial for introducing interesting properties to the pistachio nut such as cultivar-rich resources from anthocyanin and flavonoid contents and can be used when selecting a special cultivar for a particular application and pharmaceutical industry. تفاصيل المقالة

        Pelleting is a promising, cost-effective method to optimize the use of garden wastes as animal feed production. Shortage of animal feed and increasing costs are the main reasons to produce feed from garden wastes like green pistachio shell residues. In this study, green pistachio shell residues were gathered and stored in the open air to reduce moisture content, then the dried residues were hammered and sieved to make pellets using a hydraulic pellet maker machine. A factorial experiment with three factors was performed at temperatures of 50 and 65℃, moisture content levels of 15 and 20%, and compaction pressure with a single hydraulic pellet machine at 6000, 8000, and 11000 kPa using a 10 mm mold to investigate the possibility of pelleting green pistachio shell residues. Toughness and fracture energy are the important parameters for optimal pellet-making conditions. The produced pellets were investigated in terms of density, fracture energy, and toughness. The results showed that the effect of compaction pressure on the attributes was significant at the 1% level. The highest values of these attributes were obtained at the highest pressure of 11000 kPa. It was observed that the interaction effect of moisture and temperature on pellet density was the most significant level (1308.13 kg m-3) at temperatures of 65 ℃ and 15% moisture content. Also, the highest fracture energy and toughness (0.0228 J and 1.44&times;10-14 J m-3) were observed at temperatures of 50&deg;C and 20% moisture content. Therefore, pellets made of green pistachio shell residues have sufficient density, fracture energy, and toughness, which makes pelleting a viable option for reducing transportation volume and costs in animal feed production تفاصيل المقالة

        In this study, we first identified the existing knowledge about temporal management of pesticide consumption. Then the growers view and performance in this regard was estimated. Comparing growers&rsquo; knowledge with experts&rsquo; idea, the pistachio producers score related to temporal management of pests control was calculated. Pistachio producers of Anar and Rafsanjan areas in Kerman province, Iran were considered as our study population. Using stratified random sampling method, a sample of 100 growers were selected. Pearson correlation, analysis of variance and regression were used to investigate the socioeconomic factors affecting growers&rsquo; knowledge and the effect of this knowledge on growers&rsquo; performance. The results showed that in the field of temporal management of pesticide use, growers&rsquo; knowledge is low. Investigating the factors affecting growers&rsquo; knowledge level showed that research, education and extension activities have had the significant effect on increasing knowledge of inputs temporal management. The results also showed that knowledge of temporal management pest control did not increase land use productivity (pistachio yield) but enhanced pesticide productivity. The amount of pesticide usage decreased by 0.477 l/ha/year, with increasing of each score to pest control knowledge. In other words, with increasing knowledge of pest control, not only the costs of spraying will be reduced, but it will also have environmental benefits. In short, current conditions are not suitable for precision agriculture application in Iranian pistachio orchards, but with increasing knowledge of growers, these conditions will be created. تفاصيل المقالة

The aerodynamic terminal velocity of the pistachio had a direct relationship with the studied physical characteristics, except for density. The terminal velocity of open-mouth pistachio nuts (9.50&plusmn;0.61 m s-1) was significantly lower than that of closed (10.12&plusmn;0.51 m s-1) and semi-open mouth (10.16&plusmn;0.62 m s-1) nuts, with the terminal velocity of the shells (6.51&plusmn;0.65 m s-1) showing the lowest values. The results revealed that terminal velocity can be considered for pneumatic separation of shells from pistachio nuts as well as the separation of open-mouth nuts from closed-mouth ones. تفاصيل المقالة

        Lutein is a xanthophyll family of carotenoids, found in flowers, vegetables, and fruits either in esterified or non-esterified fatty acid form. It is mainly administered in pharmacological products, dietary additives, the food industry, and animal feeding industries. This study was conducted on the &lsquo;Fandoghi&rsquo; variety from the Markazi province for pistachio hull lutein extraction and quantification. This study aimed to assess the lutein in pistachio hull and optimize its extraction protocol by new extraction methods with emphasis on microwave-assisted method (MAE). The powder from dried pistachio hulls obtained from fresh raw un-hulled pistachios was applied for further analysis. An experimental design based on the central composite design was applied for the extraction using the MAE method and extraction optimization. The lutein contents were quantitatively analyzed using a validated LC-MS/MS method. According to the free form of lutein, Ethyl acetate was applied as an extraction solvent with the MAE method followed by the setting up of the extraction time, temperature, and solvent/sample ratio as variables. Under optimal experimental conditions corresponding to 5 min extraction time at 40&deg;C, and 30 mg ml-1 of the solvent/sample ratio, the amount of lutein obtained from dried pistachio hull was 3.86 mg 100 g-1. The MAE method is a green, time-saving, and cost-effective method for lutein extraction from pistachio hull that can be suggested for lutein extraction from other plant materials and it can be applied in industrial scale. تفاصيل المقالة

        Temperature reduction in early spring, especially corporate with buds swelling, sometimes causes severe damages. Most of the fruit trees in tropical and semi-tropical regions, especially in more critical conditions, moderate, at early spring are subjected to the frostbite and winter cold injuries. This study aimed to evaluate the amount of proline, total protein, and soluble sugars during the phonological period of buds under the late spring cold. So the research as factorial in completely randomized design with two factors, first factor was sampling time (1-mid- February 2- swelling of inflorescence buds 3-flowering 4-fruit set) and the second factor was four local pistachio cultivars of Damghan city (Shahpasand, Khanjari, Abasali, and Akbari cultivar) was established in three replications in the Damghan&rsquo;s regions. The results indicated that the highest amount of proline under cold stress in flowering stage was reported in Khanjari cultivar and the lowest amount in Shahpasand and Akbari cultivar. Also the result indicated that the highest amount of protein in flowering was observed in Khanjari cultivar and lowest amount in Akbari and Shahpasand varieties. Due to temperature reduction the total amount of proteins during the dormancy and swelling were decreased but during the flowering and fruit setting the total amount of protein was increased. During the winter, sugars were accumulated but their level decreased in early spring تفاصيل المقالة

        In order to evaluate pistachio contamination to Aspergillus flavus in Semnan province; samples of pistachio kernels were collected from the last processing pistachio stage in traditional and semi-mechanized processing plants in 2010. They were examined for the presence A. flavus fungi. The samples were cultured on AFPA media. All plate were incubated for 3 to 7 days. At the end of incubation period, the plate were evaluated and isolates of A. flavus were identified and relative density of them were recorded. The isolates of A. flavus were evaluated for their ability to produce aflatoxins, when grown on natural substrate (autoclaved rice flour). The aflatoxins were extracted with chloroform and analyzed by TLC and densitometer. The results indicated that population density of A. flavus is varied with the type of processing plants. Traditional processing plants have more population density of A. flavus than semi-mechanized processing plants. 55 isolates of A. flavus out of the 86 tested isolates (%63.95) were able to produce one or several types of aflatoxins, while 31 isolates (%36.04) were unable to produce any type of aflatoxin. Among evaluated isolates, %9.30 of isolates produced all types of the aflatoxins, %8.13 produced AfB1,AfB2 and AfG1, %34.88 of isolates produced AfB1 and AfB2 and %11.62 of isolates only produced AfB1. Among aflatoxigenic isolates, the strength of toxin production varied from weak to strong. تفاصيل المقالة

        The stochastic frontier production model is one of the most used ways to estimate efficiency and productivity. The purpose of this paper was to decompose the sources of total factor productivity (TFP) growth into technological progress, changes in technical efficiency and changes in economies of scale. In this paper, we also used Divisia index in order to estimate production function. A random sample of 298 farmers selected from Rafsanjan Township for three years, 2004, 2005 and 2006, which was a larger data set with a wider spatial coverage than used in previous studies of pistachio production. Sampling approach of this paper was "Two stage cluster sampling" and the data for outputs and inputs were obtained during 2007 and the spring and summer of 2008, by filling questionnaires and interviewing 298 farmers in the region. Results showed that technological progress includes the majority of TFP growth, but that differences in efficiency change explained cross-region differences in TFP growth. Efficiency in the 19 contiguous regions averaged 52.52% from 2005 to 2007. Experience and firm size were both positively associated with efficiency, whereas age, education and farm size, were negatively associated with efficiency. تفاصيل المقالة

        One of the undesirable features in pistachio nuts (Pistacia vera L.) is the incidence of non-split nuts, which affects the price of the final product. In order to attain the kernel inside, the non-split nuts are mostly cracked mechanically. However, this practice may damage the kernel. Akbari variety of pistachio nut was selected to evaluate the influence of different non-mechanical treatments on splitting the nuts. Different treatments were applied by soaking the nuts in water at different temperatures (10, 100 &deg;C) and roasting and heating by oven and microwave in different orders. The results indicated that soaking along with thermal treatment had a significant effect on the amount of splitting (P&lt;0.05), while no significant effect was observed in the methods in which the samples were not soaked. Furthermore, the temperature of the water applied for soaking and also thermal treatment medium led to significant differences in the final results. Additionally, the order of application of different treatments were analyzed and proved to be significantly effective (P&lt;0.05) on the splitting percentage of the nuts. تفاصيل المقالة

        Salinity is one of the most important problems that restrict cultivation of crops in arid and semi-arid regions. Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) is one of the most important trees that grow in these restricts. In this greenhouse study, the effects of salinity on growth of pistachio rootstock Badami evaluated. Seedlings were grown in plastic bags containing perlite. Salinity was imposed, by adding salts Nacl and Cacl2 to the pots to obtain concentration of 0, 100, 200 mM Nacl and Cacl2. 150 days after salt treatment, pistachio seedlings were harvested and length of shoots and roots, number of leaves and fresh and dry weight of shoot and root were measured. Photosynthesis and transpiration rates were measured before harvesting the plants. Also Chlorophyll fluorescence of plants measured. Salinity decreased shoots and to some extent root growth and number of leaves per plant in comparison with the control. Salt treatments reduced length of shoot and fresh and dry weight of shoots, but these values were more in roots for Cacl2 in comparison with control. Photosynthesis rate reduced in response to salinity but for Nacl treatments was more than the other. Transpiration rates and chlorophyll fluorescence did not show any significant differences with control. Data obtained in present study emphasized that growth Badami rootstock is affected by salinity and Nacl more than Cacl2 reduced growth of this rootstock. The aim of this study was to evaluate response of Badami rootstock to different level of salinity. تفاصيل المقالة

        The prediction of product acceptability is often an additive effect of individual fuzzy impressions developed by a consumer on certain underlying attributes characteristic of the product. In this paper, we present the development of a data-driven fuzzy-rule-based approach for predicting the overall sensory acceptability of pistachio green hull&rsquo;s marmalade. The model was formulated using the Takagi-Sugeno and Kang (TSK) fuzzy modeling approach. The fuzzy membership function for the sensory scores is implemented in MATLAB 7.6 (R2008a) using the fuzzy logic toolbox and weights of each linguistic attribute were obtained using a correlation coefficient formula. The results obtained are compared to those of human judgments. Overall assessments suggest that, if implemented, this approach will facilitate a better acceptability of pistachio green hull&rsquo;s marmalade. تفاصيل المقالة

        Many factors influence physical properties of edible composite films fabricated from hydrocolloids and lipids. Novel edible emulsified films were made using PGP, glycerol and stearic (SA) or oleic (OA) fatty acids by Tween-80 addition and emulsification of filmogenic solutions. In this study, the effect of physical state of fatty acids on the pistachio globulin protein (PGP) edible film properties was investigated. There were significant differences (p &lt; 0.05) in the water vapor permeability (WVP), tensile strength (TS) and opacity of emulsified films containing SA and OA. SA was more effective than OA in WVP diminishing. The decrease values of 42 and 26.5% were observed for films with SA and OA, respectively. TS and elongation at break values of films containing OA were lower than SA ones. Oxygen permeability (OP) was evaluated indirectly applying peroxide value measurement. No significant difference was observed in the OP of the films. Water solubility was not affected by the physical state of fatty acids either. The solid state of SA at the room temperature caused the resultant films to be more opaque than OA containing films. Our findings indicated that PGP films modified with SA had better physical properties special in WVP reduction than OA ones and could be potentially used for primary packaging of foods with high water loss problem. تفاصيل المقالة

        Iran is the first producer and exporter of Pistachio in the world. The research is on codification of advertisement strategies in coherence with the export of pistachio in Kerman province by SWOT model. Objectives of the research were determining the most important advertisement strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of Kerman exporting pistachio and proposing appropriate strategies. At first according to the evaluations done on interior and exterior environment of exporting pistachio advertisement of Kerman province, a list of strong and weak points, opportunities and threats was observed. And after doing a survey by means of questionnaire from authorities (pistachio exporters of Kerman province) the statistical "T" test applied to confirm or deny the strong and weak points, opportunities and threats. Then by weighing each of the confirmed above mentioned factors through Likret spectrum and estimating the total weights, average weights and finally approximate weight, priorities were clarified. Eventually for eliminating or lessening the weak points, threats and improving and strengthening the strong points and available advertisement opportunities in accordance with Kerman province pistachio exporting, using SWOT analytical method appropriate strategies were submitted such as identifying and segregating new markets and using international advertisement agencies for promotion and competing with rivals in view of the superior quality of Kerman&rsquo;s pistachio. تفاصيل المقالة

        Effects of kaolin applicati on were evaluated on water stress in pistachio cv. &lsquo;Ohadi&rsquo;. 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 elements. On the majority of the factors, control with days irrigation period and lower kaolin application had more effect on nutrients absorbed by the leaves. Lower irrigation and upper concentration of kaolin application boosted soluble solids content. Increasing of prolin concentration was more impacted by the interaction of kaolin . and low irrigation treatments and also leaf area showed decreasing trend by single kaolin application, but in this regard, interaction of kaolin with low irrigation has boosting effect on this factor. Lower irrigation period decreased total nut production, blankness percentage, and increased fresh weight (nearly ), percentage of split nut, percentage of early split nut, percentage of irregular cracking nuts and ounce index. More kaolin concentration increased fresh weight, percentage of closed nut and lowering the total pistachio production, blankness and early split nut. Interaction effect caused increasing fresh weight, percentage of closed nut, ounce of nut, and decreased total pistachio production, spit nut, blankness and early split nut. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this survey, effective factors in little leaf disease on trees were studied in different pistachio orchards in Kerman province. Little leaf disease is the most serious disease of pistachio in Iran. Affected trees reduced growth rates. The first symptoms of little leaf disease are those of nutrient deficiency: a slight yellowing and shortening of the needles and reducing of shoot growth. New needles are discolored and shorter than normal, and the tree loses all but the new needles near the tips of the branches. This study examined the causes of the disease through several researches conducted in various places (Anar, Rafsanjan, Shahrbabak, Noogh, Koshkoeih), in Kerman, south of IRAN. The following treatments were employed: 1- healthy leaflet from healthy tree, 2- healthy leaflet from problem tree, 3- problem leaflet from affected trees. Little leaf disease was divided into two groups (trees with severe and low problem). External leaflet, total leaf and leaf stalk analysis were performed to determine nutrient element content. The results showed that concentration of iron in leaf stalk healthy leaflet from problem tree were statistically significant because of fixed and decreasing mobility of iron. Reductions in iron, manganese, cooper and zinc were noticed in healthy leaflet from problem tree (healthy leaflet from healthy tree). In places where the soil is characterized by low and poor iron, manganese, cooper and zinc, alone or together, the disease appears in leaflets. Therefore any foliar application can tackle the problem for the following year. تفاصيل المقالة

        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. The variability in morphology was found among A. flavus isolates from different VCGs, but no variability among isolates from the same VCG. VCG diversity for A. flavus isolates from Damghan and Rafsanjan was 54 and 39%, respectively. The high VCG members in small size-isolates of A. flavus from Damghan indicated high genetic variability in fungal population. Because of the small number of sclerotium-producing isolates of A. flavus, we did not determine the relationships between sclerotium production with VCG in two pistachio production regions. This study was the first to determine the strain and VCG diversity of soil isolates of A. flavus from pistachio orchards in Iran تفاصيل المقالة

        In order to study on some of pistachio cultivars&rsquo; contamination of Khorasan-e-Razavi province,eight cultivars of pistachio kernels were collected from the pistachio production areas of this province. Using serial dilution method, 10 grams of ground pistachio was moved to 90 ml water peptone and continuous dilutions 10-1, 10-2 were prepared. Then 0.1 ml from each dilution was inoculated in three replicates on plates containing AFPA medium and was placed inside an incubator at 28 &deg; C for 72 hours. The characteristic of this environment is the advent of green yellowish colonies by Aspergillus flavus and Parasiticus that is distinguishing criteria of mentioned fungi. Since it has capacity to stop interfering bacteria and fungi growth causes the emersion of distinct and discrete colonies that are easily seperable and countable from each other. After three days, the number of colonies of A.flavus was identified and calculated in samples. The results of this research indicated that there was a significant difference in colonies number of these fungi in different pistachio cultivars (At 5% level). Among these cultivars Akbari Namavar had the highest contamination and against, Fandoghi 1 had the lowest contamination تفاصيل المقالة

        In this study, changes in soil moisture and salinity contents in drip irrigation combined with white and black plastic mulches compared to no mulch (control) was evaluated. The experiment was carried out in two commercial pistachio orchards (Ohadi cultivar) with irrigation frequencies of 8 to 12 days with a total water consumption 4100 and 6170 m3ha&minus;1. The study was conducted in a complete randomized block design with three replicates from 2014-2015. Results showed that plastic mulches significantly affected the studied parameters, such as dry yield and water use productivity (WUP). The WUP in plastic mulch treatments increased from 36% to 100% compared to the control. On the other hand, soil moisture content in plastic mulches were up to 12% higher than control in irrigation intervals in both orchards. Moisture content equations between two consecutive irrigations obtained in depth of the maximum root development (25 to 75cm). Proper irrigation frequency in pistachio trees with sandy loam to loamy sand soil was determined based on the derived equations and PWP and RAW in soil experimental plots. The frequency was six to eight days in the case of no mulch, and in the use of plastic mulch, it was 11 to 15 days. The results showed that the use of plastic mulch decreased the soil surface salinity from 30.8% to 51.8% compared to the control. The amount of water consumption, irrigation frequency, soil texture and sampling points affected the soil surface salinity. The average salinity of 0-120cm soil depth was reduced from 20.4% to 27.7% compared to the no mulch treatment. The mulch color did not have a significant effect on any of the parameters. تفاصيل المقالة

        In order to evaluate responses of a pistachio seedling rootstock (Pistacia vera L. cv. Ghazvini) to NaCl induced salinity stress and potential protective role of exogenous spermine and spermidine on NaCl induced salinity stress, a greenhouse experiment was conducted during growing season of 2009. The NaCl treatments, involving 800, 1600, and 3200 mg NaCl per Kg of soil for 90 days, suppressed growth of the seedlings and induced accumulation of Na+ and Clin roots and shoots. Accumulation of Na+ and Clin shoots was higher than in roots. Our data also showed more accumulation of K+ in the shoot than in the roots under salinity stress. The ratio of K+ /Na+ in compare with control was highly significant in the shoots of stressed plants. Exogenous polyamines (PAs) prevented the growth reduction induced by salinity stress and reduced transport of Na+ and Clfrom the root to shoot and increased translocation of K+ from the root to the shoot of pistachio seedlings. We concluded that &lsquo;Ghazvini&rsquo; rootstock appear to be a valuable seedling rootstock with a level of salt tolerance about 1600 mg NaCl Kg-1 Soil. It also concluded that application of exogenous PAs may protect pistachio seedlings from salinity stress effects. تفاصيل المقالة

        Calcium deficiency causes Endocarp Lesion disorder in pistachio nut. To investigate the effects of various calcium treatments on Endocarp Lesion disorder and some nut qualitative characteristics in Pistachio cv. Akbari, an experiment was done in completely randomized design with four treatments (1- control treatment, 2- calcium chelate foliar spray, 3- calcium nitrate and 4&ndash; calcium sulfate (gypsum), calcium nitrate and calcium chelate foliar spray) in three replications in 2010. The results showed that the percentage of noncontaminated nuts and the percentage of contaminated nuts to mentioned disorder were significant (P &lt;0.01). The most percentage of non-contaminated nuts and the least percentage of contaminated nuts were observed in three calcium treatments, but there was no significant difference between them. Qualitative characteristics of nut such as the percentage of splitting nuts, non-splitting nuts, small nuts and immature nuts were significant (P &lt;0.01) but the percentage of blank nuts wasn&rsquo;t significant. The most percentage of splitting nuts, the least percentage of non-splitting nuts and small nuts were obtained in gypsum, calcium nitrate and calcium foliar treatment (T4) and in calcium nitrate treatment (T3) respectively but there was no significant difference between two treatments. The least percentage of immature nuts was measured in gypsum, calcium nitrate and calcium foliar treatment (T4). The result of leaf nutrients amount measure (calcium, magnesium, sodium, calcium to magnesium ratio) showed magnesium was significant (P &lt;0.05), sodium and calcium to magnesium ratio were significant level but amount of calcium was not significant. The least amount of magnesium and sodium and the most ratio of calcium to magnesium (Ca / Mg) in leaves were observed in gypsum, calcium nitrate and calcium foliar treatment (T4). High ratio of calcium to magnesium reduces magnesium poisoning and also the Endocarp Lesion. According to the results, application of gypsum, calcium nitrate and calcium foliar treatment (T4) can be more favorable than other treatments in reducing Endocarp Lesion disorder and improving nut quality in pistachio cv.

        The die-back of pistachio is one of the most important diseases affecting pistachio trees reducing yield production. In commercial fields, sampling was done from nine different pistachio production areas in Mahvelat, Khorasan Razavi province during 2008-2010. In each orchard, samples were taken from tree branches with canker during spring and summer seasons. Fungal species were identified based on the micro and macromorphological features, reverse and surface characters of colonies. The ability of the isolates to produce disease was assessed on two year-old pistachio branches. The effect of Mancozeb, Benomyl, Metalaxyl, Rovral TS, Bordeaux mixture and Propiconazole was evaluated on radial mycelia growth of P. variotii, N. mangiferae and Stemphylium spp.. In most orchards, the samples were positive for fungal species and in only a few orchards no fungal isolates could be detected. Based on micro and macro- morphological features; P. variotii, N. mangiferae, and Stemphylium spp. were identified in most sampling areas with different frequencies. In pathogenicity tests, most isolates of N. mangiferae and Stemphylium spp. were able to establish disease, while about 43 % of P. variotii isolates produced die-back on inoculated branches. The results of fungicides produce different levels of control on mycelia growth of fungal species which was varied according to the kind of fungicide and fungal species. Overall, the differences between fungal isolates, biotic and a biotic factors to produce disease as well as contradictory results were obtained by different researchers as described in literature تفاصيل المقالة

        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 the International Monetary Fund, United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, and various publications of the central bank of Iran for the period of 1974-2008. The results showed that the real effective exchange rate, income of importer countries and domestic production have positive effects on export of pistachio but the effect of the domestic price index to the global pistachio export price index ratio was negative. Hence, it is recommended in order to produce more the crop as well as reduce the domestic price adopted employing advanced production& processing methods, extending the cultivation levels and improving the performance per hectare so that promote the ways of pistachio export. تفاصيل المقالة

        Pistachio is one of the most important horticultural products of Iran with special economic importance. In average 70% of Iran pistachio are exported. Aflatoxin is secondary metabolites of fungus such as Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. If favorite condition is prepared for stabilization of fungi spores producing Aflatoxin, the first pistachio contamination to Aflatoxin occurs in orchard. The most important way for penetration of mentioned fungus is cracking in pistachio hull in orchard. The most dangerous kind of cracking is early splitting. The shells of most pistachio nuts split naturally in the orchard prior to harvest. Sometimes the hull is attached to the shell so that it splits with the shell, exposing the kernel to moulds and insects. This is called an "early split". Although the importance of early splitting for mould, aflatoxin and insect contamination is well established, very little is known concerning the physical property of early split pistachio. In order to determination appearance and physical properties of contaminated pistachios this researched was carried out on three commercial Iranian pistachio cultivars of Owhadi, Kallehghochi and Ahmadaghaii in processing stage in two mechanized pistachio processing and two sampling times. Sampling were done from non-stain and stained split pistachio on the surface of water, stained and non-stained of pistachio under the water (sank pistachio), small pistachio, deformed pistachios, shelled pistachio and intact pistachio from the end of processing. Stained pistachios were divided in 3 groups including group 1 (amount of stain 1-30%), group 2 (amount of stain 31-60%) and group 3 (amount of stain more 60%). The amount of aflatoxin was measured by scanner-TLC in each sample. The results indicated that stained pistachio on the surface of water had the highest amount of aflatoxin. With increasing of stain level on shell, the amount of aflatoxin increased remarkably. The amount of aflatoxin in stained sinked pistachios of groups 1, 2, 3, was 490, 1364.7 and 1782 ppb respectively. Small, deformed and shelled pistachios had negligible amount of aflatoxin and final pistachios (intact pistachio from the end processing) showed any contamination to aflatoxin. تفاصيل المقالة

        Iran is the biggest pistachio producer and exporter in the world. Surely, one of the most problems of pistachio industry is Aflatoxin contamination in recent years that treated exportation this valuable crop. This research was done in order to evaluate Aflatoxin contamination in indehiscence and mechanical splitting pistachios of Ouhadi cultivars in Rafsanjan region. Treatments of this research were indehiscence pistachios with soft irregular cracked hull (in proper harvest time), indehiscence pistachios with dry irregular cracked hull (in delay harvest time), indehiscence pistachios with soft irregular cracked hull delaying in dehulling after 72 hours, indehiscence pistachios with unstained shell, indehiscence pistachios with stained shell, mechanical splitting pistachios and indehiscence pistachios with intact hull (control). This research was done in 4 replications in complete randomized block design (CRBD). Results showed that mechanical splitting pistachio had the greatest Aflatoxin contamination; these pistachios had significant differences with other evaluated pistachios from the Aflatoxin point of view. The second rank of Aflatoxin contamination belonged to indehiscence pistachios with stained shell that had significant differences with other categories. Amount of Aflatoxin in indehiscence pistachios with dry irregular cracked hull (delay in harvest time) was negligible. Indehiscence pistachios with soft irregular cracked hull (in proper harvest time), indehiscence pistachios with soft irregular cracked hull (delaying in dehulling) and indehiscence pistachios with intact hull (control) had not detectable Aaflatoxin contamination تفاصيل المقالة

        Pistachio is one of the most important horticultural crops in Iran. There is a unique role for amino acids in the plant response to stressful conditions, and special physiological role for Arginine (Arg) compared to other amino acids. The effects of this compound were investigated on vegetative and reproductive characters of bearing pistachio trees of &lsquo;Ahmad-Aghaei&rsquo;. The experiments were done as a factorial based on RCBD with four concentrations of Arg (0, 100, 200 and 300 &micro;M) and three spraying stages (post harvest, flower buds swollen and flowering). Based on the results, Arg improved the vegetative and reproductive characters. Arg increased length and diameter of shoot, leaf area, the number of floweringbuds, the number of nuts in cluster, fresh weight of cluster, nut splitting (%) and ounce, and decreased flower buds abscission percent and blankness. Arg also significantly increased photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a and b and total chlorophyll) in bearing pistachio trees. The best concentration of Arg was 200 &micro;M applied of the flowering stage, but the strongest effect on the number of nut in cluster, fresh weight of cluster and blankness were observed when spraying at the flower bud swollen stage. تفاصيل المقالة

        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 not solved in a short term plans and should be considered in a long term programs. The results also showed that small pistachio growers doing most effort to observe hygienic cases and lack of knowledge in many of these areas are causing the problem. Therefore, there is a necessity to provide more extension. A survey in extension priorities of growers, also, indicated that technical extension including the definition of aflatoxin, its effect on health and etc. should be in the first priority. The next stage of &ldquo;pistachio processing&rdquo; and &ldquo;marketing&rdquo; was in second priority and pistachio orchard was the third priority. Although most of processing units are traditional, but, knowledge about them exists, so must make effort in order to solve their financial problems and executive action تفاصيل المقالة

        The Adonis ladybird, Hippodamia variegataGoeze (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is known as an important predator of the Common pistachio psylla, Agonoscena pistaciae Burckhardt & Lauterer (Hemiptera: Psyllidae). Despite using the selective pesticides to manage the pests in the pistachio orchards, these chemicals have influenced non-target organisms like predators and parasitoids. In the present study, the effects of spirotetramat and imidacloprid (500 and 400 ml/1000 L, respectively) on some biological parameters of H. variegata fed on the common pistachio psyllawere investigated under laboratory conditions (27.5 &plusmn; 1&deg;C, 65 &plusmn; 5% RH and 16:8 h L: D photoperiod). To this end, the eggs of ladybird beetles were exposed to pesticides via a Dipping method. In addition, the impact of pesticides on immature and adult stages was studied. The daily number of eggs laid by a female ladybird was also recorded in laboratory conditions. The results showed that spirotetramat and imidacloprid had increased the duration of immature developmental stages (egg, larva, and pupae) and the number of daily laid eggs of female ladybirds compared to those by control (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, p &lt;0.05). The highest and the lowest of net reproductive rates were also observed in control and imidacloprid treatments, respectively. Considering the results, the spirotetramat and imidacloprid had caused adverse effects on the demographic parameters of H. variegata and had also influenced the efficiency of this predator. Therefore, spirotetramat and imidacloprid were suggested to be used in IPM of Agonoscena pistaciae with caution. تفاصيل المقالة

        Pistachio butter (semi solid paste), which is made from roasted pistachio kernels, is an appropriate alternative to work on because of its high nutritional and economical values. In this study, timedependent flow properties of pistachio butter were determined at two different temperatures (25˚C and 45˚C) for five different formulations (with different levels of emulsifying agents). Forward and backward flow curves were plotted and the amount of existing hysteresis loop was measured. Also, shear stress vs. time of shearing data were assessed using three models namely; Weltman, First-order shear stress decay with a zero equilibrium stress value, and First-order shear stress decay with a nonzero equilibrium stress value. To evaluate the ability of these models to predict the rheological characteristics of pistachio butter, three statistical parameters namely; R2 , RMSE, and MRDM were used and finally the Weltman model was found to be the most appropriate to fit the experimental data. The results showed that pistachio butter exhibits a thixotropic behavior and its apparent viscosity decreases with increasing the time of shearing. تفاصيل المقالة

        This work develops a statistical model to assess the frost risk in Rafsanjan, one of the largest pistachio production regions in the world. These models can be used to estimate the probability that a frost happens in a given time-period during the year; a frost happens after 10 warm days in the growing season. These probability estimates then can be used for: (1) assessing the agroclimate risk of investing in this industry; (2) pricing of weather derivatives. Autoregressive models with time-varying coefficients and different lags are compared using AIC/BIC/AICc and cross validation criterions. The optimal model is an AR (1) with both intercept and the &ldquo;autoregressive coefficients&rdquo; vary with time. The long-term trends are also accounted for and estimated from data. The optimal models are then used to simulate future weather from which the probabilities of appropriate hazard events are estimated. تفاصيل المقالة

The coldness was so high that affected not only on the open flowers but also on bud endings and lop growth, So that the next year product was endangered, as well. In order to study the effect of some treatments and decrease the damage, some experiments were done in the form of split. Split was tested in the form of random block model so that original plot included irrigation treatments and nitrogen fertilizer was on 30 days after the cold happening , and secondary plot included prune treatments : in three levels, 1. Without prune, 2. Elimination of 30% of grown branches, 3. Elimination of 60% of grown branches. Allendance with pbz in three levels: 1. control, 2. 4 PPM Pbz, 3. 8 PPM Pbz with density. For every treatment, four repetitions were done, and the percentage of bud formation was measured. Results showed that although the irrigation after happening of coldness has stimulated the growth but it wasn&rsquo;t any influence on the next year product. Also it was defined that the mutual effect between irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer increased the formation of bud. The combination of irrigation, nitrogen fertilizer and 30% treatment caused the maximum of flower formation, and pbz increased the flower formation as well. According to results, it is said that 30% treatment could improve the problems of coldness. تفاصيل المقالة

In this research, the effects of four commercial pistachio cultivars that are commonly grown in Iran including Kaleghochi, Ahmadaghaii, Ohadi and Akbari were evaluated on the biology (developmental time, mortality rate, longevity) and demographic parameters of B. germari under the laboratory conditions at 27.5&plusmn;1&deg;C, 65&plusmn;5% RH and 16: 8 (L: D) h, during 2016-2017. The longest and the shortest immature development times were observed on Akbari (38.11 days) and Kaleghochi (25.54 days) cultivars, respectively. The highest and the lowest mortality rates of immature stages were on Akbari and Kaleghochi cultivars, respectively. The gross (GRR) and net reproductive rates (R0) were significantly lower on Akbari compared to other cultivars. The intrinsic rate of increase (rm) and the finite rate of increase (&lambda;) were significantly different among the studied cultivars. The calculated rm values were 0.04, 0.06, 0.07 and 0.08 (day-1) on Akbari, Ohadi, Ahmadaghaii and Kaleghochi cultivars, respectively. Also the lowest value of &lambda; was observed on Akbari cultivar that was significantly different from the other three cultivars. Moreover, the longest mean generation time (T) was also observed on Akbari cultivar. The reproductive parameters were also significantly different on the studied cultivars and the lowest and the highest values of all parameters were observed on Akbari and Kaleghochi cultivars, respectively. According to these results, it was concluded that among the studied cultivars, Akbari was the less suitable cultivar for pistachio green stink-bug compared to others and it can be used in IPM of this pest. تفاصيل المقالة

        Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) was used to increase the shelf life of fresh in hull pistachio nuts (Pistacia vera L.), meeting the market demand for fresh high quality products. Fresh in hull pistachio nuts were stored at 5&deg;C and three different gaseous conditions including 10% O2, 20% CO2 and 70% N2 (MAP1), 100% CO2 (MAP2) and ambient atmosphere for 42 days. The samples of 300 g of pistachio nuts were packaged in sealed high barrier poly propylene (PP) bags (26&times;20 cm). The permeability of films for CO2 was 3910 cm 3 /m2 dbar at 23&deg;C and 50% RH. The thickness and the surface of the used films were 2.00 mm and 78.90 cm 2 , respectively. External appearance, weight loss, firmness and color attributes and microbial growth were investigated at regular intervals throughout the storage period. Significant differences were found between packaged and unpackaged fresh in hull pistachio nuts in the most of parameters considered. The firmness in the nuts decreased markedly in control samples. This trend was also observed in the nuts stored under 10% O2, 20% CO2 and 70% N2. However, the firmness in those nuts stored in 100% CO2 increased. On the other hand weight loss was quite slighter in the samples stored at MAP comparing to the control ones (p&lt;0.01). MAP had a significant effect (p&lt;0.01) on the storage time, with the external appearance being the limiting factor for shelf-life of pistachio nuts. Storage in 100% CO2 and 5&deg;C showed the best results among the treatments in terms of retaining physical properties and sensory attributes, increasing the health and extending the shelf-life of fresh in hull pistachio nuts. تفاصيل المقالة

        UCB-1 (Pistacia atlantica &times; P. integrima) is a commercial rootstock for pistachio in some pistachio plantations across the world. This rootstock is very new in Iran and recently, it has been used commercially in some plantations due to its high growth. Propagation of this rootstock by tissue culture results in many limitations such as shoot tip necrosis (STN) and a low proliferation rate. Therefore, any process that leads to improve the proliferation rate and feature will be used in commercial propagation of this rootstock. Nanotubes are widely used in in vitro cultures. For this reason, we used different concentrations of carbon nanotubes (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 &micro;g/l) and benzyladenine (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 mg/l) to improve the proliferation rate and qualitative indices. The results showed that using carbon nanotubes concentration of 200 &micro;g/l with 2mg/l of benzyladenine (BA) led to maximum proliferation (4 microshoots per explant), maximum shoot length (3.68 cm) and minimum STN (8%) and vitrification (this isn&rsquo;t a word?) (0 %) percentage. تفاصيل المقالة

        In order to study the contamination of Aspergillus flavus and aflatoxin production in pistachio cultivars in the Semnan province, eight cultivars of pistachio were collected from major pistachio growing areas. Using the serial dilution method, ground pistachio kernels were inoculated on plates containing AFPA medium and incubated at 28&deg; C. This experiment was performed using three replications in a completely randomized design. After three to seven days, the number of A. flavus colonies were identified and enumerated. Also, aflatoxin B1, B2, G1 and G2 contents of the samples were analyzed by HPLC method. On the other hand, the effect of two chemical fungicidesas a control method on the growth of Aspergillus flavus and aflatoxin production in pre-harvest pistachio cultivars was assessed under in vivo conditions. For this purpose, an orchard that was under cultivation by the most contaminated cultivar was selected, and a completely randomized design was carried out in the field. Two fungicides (tebuconazole 25% and mancozeb 80%) were applied at an application rate of 1 and 2 L or Kg ha-1, respectively. Aflatoxin B1 and B2 contents of the samples were analyzed using the HPLC method. The obtained results showed that there was a significant difference in A. flavus colonies number in different pistachio cultivars. Among these cultivars, Owhadi had the highest amount of contamination, and Akbari had the lowest contamination. The results showed that the contents of aflatoxin B1 and B2 were observed in Owhadi cultivar. , Tebuconazole 25% and mancozeb 80% reduced A. flavus growth compared to the control. However, this reduction was not significant. The obtained results of aflatoxin analysis showed that these two fungicides reduced the amount of aflatoxins B1 and B2 in pistachio cultivar, though there was not a significant reduction.It was concluded that the use of chemical fungicides were ineffective in preventing A. flavus growth and aflatoxin production in pistachio cultivars under in vivo conditions. تفاصيل المقالة

        Verticillium wilt is a serious disease of pistachio caused by Verticilliumdahliae. Control of the disease is difficult due to soil borne nature of the causal agent. Verticillium wilt has been biologically controlled by Trichoderma spp. In the present study, Trichoderma spp. was isolated from soils of pistachio orchards and their effect was investigated on radial growth of Verticillium dahliae by using dual culture and production of volatile and non-volatile metabolites. Five isolates of T. harzianum and one isolate of T. asperellum,T.koningii and T. crassum were used in the present study. All the isolates of Trichoderma produced volatile and non-volatile metabolites that reduced radial growth of the pathogen. T. harzianum and T. koningii isolates had the highest effect on radial growth of the pathogen but T. harzianum and T. crassum showed the lowest effect in non-volatile test. Six days after culture of pathogen on the medium was the best time for study of effect of the non-volatile metabolites. In volatile metabolite test, T. harzianum and T. koningii reduced radial growth of V. dahliae further than others. Overally, T. harzianum , and T. koningii isolates showed the highest inhibitory effect of radial growth of V. dahliae تفاصيل المقالة

        Pistachio is one of the most important agricultural crops of Iran. It is a nut from Anacardiacea family and its domesticated species is called Pistacia vera L. Regarding to pistachio importance and usage and by the expanding of pistachio cultivate, it is necessary to improve agricultural situation and by establishing well equipped processing and packaging units near the farms, it is possible to supply high quality and quantity of products for foreign and domestic markets. In this case, aflatoxin is one of the major problems. It is Aspergillus metabolite produced in good humidity and temperature condition. Thus for pistachio safety, usage of effective scientific methods based on preventive action in pistachio production chain from planting to packaging, storing and distribution is recommended. Since quality assurance systems and process control based on ISO 22000:2005 can be a good method for aflatoxin contamination control, in this research, ISO 22000:2005 requirements were implemented in a pistachio processing unit and aflatoxin B1 content was measured by HPLC before and after six stages of processing including washing, immersing pool, wet sorting, drier, temporary storing and dry sorting. After analyzing measured data, the most reducing stage in aflatoxin content was wet sorting and drying and temporary storing had the preventing role in aflatoxin content, so they had no significant effect in aflatoxin reducing. As a whole it is concluded that OPRP and CCP have no difference important in hazard control but they are different from type of control measure aspect. Besides for implementing FSMS effectively, suitable prerequisite programs are necessary. تفاصيل المقالة

        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 the main sources of contamination would provide information about critical control points throughout pistachio production process. Density fluctuations of airborne Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger spores were investigated during 2000-2002. The monthly density fluctuations of Aspergillus spp. spores were determined by exposing open petri-dishes containing AFPA and Cz media for 15 minutes, between 11 and 13 hours at different localities in each orchard from spring to winter, and at pistachio nut processing terminals during harvesting time. The results showed that density fluctuations of A. flavus and A. niger rose from the beginning of spring reaching a peak in September. The population then gradually decreased and had little variation in relation to different periods and places. Population density of Aspergillus spores increased during processing stages (especially hulling and peeling) at different pistachio terminals. In most cases, there were positive correlations (r = 0.69 - 0.91) between environmental temperature and spore density. The peak of spore density coincided with pistachio nut maturation characterized by splitting and cracking. تفاصيل المقالة

        The common pistachio psyllid, Agonoscena pistaciae, is the key pest of pistachio trees in Iran. Both nymphs and adults suck sap from leaves and reduce plant vigor and yield, increase the number of blank, half growth kernel and unsplit nuts and also cause defoliation and buds drop. Detrimental effects of chemical synthetic insecticides and the resistance of common psyllid pistachio to them and the effect of three botanical insecticides, Sirinol (garlic extract), Tondexir (pepper extract) and Palizin (eucalyptus extract), were investigated as a randomized complete block design experiments in field conditions. The sampling was done 2, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after treatment. The results showed that the highest mortality in Palizin treatment occurred after 2 and 7 days. The sampling of 14, 21 and 28 days post-treatment were showed the highest and lowest mortality in Sirinol and Tondexir treatments, respectively. Generally, there were no significant differences between Sirinol and Palizin 28 days post-treatment, but these compounds showed significant differences with Tondexir. As a result, these botanical insecticides are suitable in integrated pest management of common pistachio psyllid. تفاصيل المقالة

        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 stage cluster random sampling method applied for data collection. The 200 producers selected based on area planted in each region and interviewed personally, with completing a research questionnaire, during 2012-2015. Turnquist- till index, multi-variable regression and analysis of variances applied to investigate orchards productivity and factors affected. Results indicated that average productivity, maximum productivity and productivity growth rate had declined during study period. Results also indicated that producers&rsquo; education level and chemical fertilizers amount had positive effect on total productivity, but number of garden fractions, number of family members, ratio of the number of male to female tress and amount of organic manures had negative effect on total productivity. Results also revealed that partial productivity of Labour force, fluid fertilizers, organic manures and water resources had positive effects on production per hectare. Finally, to enhance productivity and profitability of farming system and reach to a more sustainable one, it is suggested to provide necessary circumstances for entrance of agricultural graduated people in pistachio production sector, to program an integrate pistachio farms system and to put more effective supervision/monitoring on agricultural inputs and credits market. تفاصيل المقالة

        Plants are often subjected to several environmental stresses throughout their life cycle. Adaptation of plants to saline conditions may be due to some salt-related changes in the pattern of gene(s) expression. The physiological role of stress induced proteins is not yet clearly understood. However, it is believed that these proteins allow plants to produce biochemical and structural adjustments which enable them to adapt with the stress conditions. In this research we compared protein profile of 4 female cultivars and 2 male genotypes of Rafsanjan Pistachio in salt stress situation. The treatments were irrigated with saline water (EC = 5.5 dSm-1 ), without drainer, until appearing leaf phytotoxicity. Before and after saline stress leave proteins were extracted by using Damerval method, with some modification. The amount of total proteins was determined according the method of Bradford assay by used of BSA as standard solution. After uniformity of protein concentration, they were loaded on SDS-PAGE, in 12.5% separating gel and 5% stacking gel according to the method of Hames and Rickwood,. The results revealed that salinity induced changes in protein pattern and decreasing of total proteins in leaves of Pistachio. Some bands were decreased, increased, appeared or disappeared after salinity. Additionally a 40 KDa (kilo Dalton) band was increased in all samples. Moreover, this investigation reported the molecular weights of some salt responsive proteins. تفاصيل المقالة

        A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the freezing damage in some pistachio rootstocks by ion leakage and pH changes of leaked solution. A factorial experiment was carried out in randomized block designs (RBD) with three factors: Temperature (A) including 4 ̊C, 0 ̊C, -2 ̊C, -4 ̊C, -6 ̊C, Time (B) including 3, 12, 24h , and Rootstock (C) including P. vera cv 'Badami Zarand' (V13) and 'Sarakhs' (S5), P. mutica (M1)and P. atlantica (A7). For this, one-year-old seedlings were kept at these five temperatures in incubator for 2 hours. Then in the first 24 hours in three hour intervals and during four days, EC and pH in leaked solution were measured daily. After four days the seedling samples were autoclaved at temperatures 105&deg;C for 4 minutes to destroy all cell membrane. EC and pH of remaining solution were measured again and the percentage of ionic leakage was calculated. The results showed that the best time to evaluate the pH and ionic leakage was 24 hours after incubation of samples. Based on the results, ionic leakage dramatically increased with decreasing temperatures from 0&deg;C to -6&deg;C, while pH of leaked solution had no significant difference in 0&deg;C and 4&deg;C temperature treatments. When temperature reduced from 0&deg;C to -6&deg;C, like ionic leakage, pH greatly reduced. So the pH of the leaked solution could be an appropriate tool to study the freezing damage of pistachio rootstocks. Based on the results of pH and ionic leakage, P. mutica and P. atlantica were the most frost tolerant and sensitive rootstocks of this experiment, respectively. تفاصيل المقالة

Purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of temperature (90, 120 and 150&deg;C), time (20, 35 and 50 min), and roasting air velocity (0.5, 1.5 and 2.5 m/s) on geometrical attributes of pistachio nuts and kernels including principle dimensions, shape factor, sphericity, surface area, shell splitting, and true volume. An experimental method and image processing were used in order to measure the geometrical properties. The Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) method was used for predicting the correlation between experimental and image properties. The results showed that the time, temperature, and roasting air velocity didn&rsquo;t have significant effect on principle dimensions, shape factor, sphericity, surface area, shell splitting, and true volume. In all cases, the shape factor of pistachio nuts and kernels were more than 1.25. So, pistachio samples had ellipsoid shape. Pistachio kernels had more similarity to ellipsoid shape in comparison with pistachio nuts. The results revealed that ANN could predict the length, width, height, shape factor, sphericity, shell splitting, surface area, and true volume of roasted pistachio nuts and kernels. تفاصيل المقالة

        The aim of this study was to identify the effect of Spermine and Salicylic acid on several growth parameters, such as shoot length, shoot fresh and dry weights, amount of protein and carbohydrate, of Badami and Qazvini pistachio cultivated variety under copper stress. The experiment design was completely randomized with three replicates per treatment and four levels of copper (o.5, 30, 45, 60 &micro;M), one level of SA (o.5mM) and one level of Sp (o.5 mM). The excess copper significantly reduced the fresh and dry weight of the shoot and amount protein in pistachio plants. The carbohydrate was also increased as a response to the increase of copper. However, the damage was higher in Qazvini pistachios compared to Badami pistachios. The SPM and SA treatments increased the shoot length and root and shoot fresh weights as well as the amount of protein and moderated the carbohydrate in the pistachio plants under copper stress. The carbohydrate in plant was also increased. It was concluded that SA and SPM could be used as a potential growth regulators to improve copper stress in pistachio plants. تفاصيل المقالة

A completely randomized design was used to investigate the effects of different freezing temperatures (0, -6, -12 and -18&deg;C), different drying temperatures (80, 90 and 100&deg;C) and different cultivars (Akbari and Kalehghouchi) on shell splitting percentages. The results showed that both freezing and drying temperature significantly (p &le; 0.05) affected the splitting of closed shells into open shells. The effect of cultivar was insignificant. The highest shell splitting percentage (16.56%) was observed with a freezing temperature of -18&deg;C and when a drying temperature of 100&deg;C was used. Freezing and drying temperatures did not significantly increase the number of isolated kernels. However, in most treatments, isolated kernels were observed. Despite the isolated kernels, The shell splitting percentage did not decrease in any of the treatment groups. The results showed that freezing prior to drying can increase the percentage of split pistachio nuts. Thus, by increasing the difference between the temperature of the freezing and the temperature of drying, the percentage of split pistachio increased. تفاصيل المقالة

        In order to evaluate the inter-specific hybrid of P. atlantica &times; P. vera cv. &lsquo;Badami Zarand&rsquo; to salinity stress, an experiment was conducted as a factorial based in a completely randomized design with 0, 60, 120 mM salinity levels of NaCl2, CaCl2 and MgCl2 (3:2:1) on two rootstocks &lsquo;Qhazvini&rsquo; and &lsquo;Badami Zarand&rsquo; and an inter- specific hybrid of P. atlantica &times; P. vera cv. &lsquo;Badami Zarand&rsquo;. Mineral concentrations of sodium (Na), chloride (Cl), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) in shoot increased at 120 mM salinity level; however, the phosphorus (P) concentration in root decreased. Rootstocks had significant differences in the concentrations of elements of shoot. The highest concentrations of Naand Clwere observed in &lsquo;Badami Zarand&rsquo; and &lsquo;Qhazvini&lsquo;rootstocks, and the lowest was observed in hybrid rootstock. The highest concentration of Mg was observed in hybrid rootstock, and the lowest was observed in &lsquo;Badami Zarand&rsquo;. Due to restriction in the absorption and transport of chloride and sodium to the shoot, hybrid rootstock could tolerate more salinity than &lsquo;Badami Zarand&rsquo; and &lsquo;Qhazvini&rsquo; rootstocks. تفاصيل المقالة

        Humic acid is a biochemical constituent of humus and increases root biomass and shoot growth by improving absorption of nutrients. In order to study the effects of humic acid on root and shoot growth and leaf nutrient contents of pistachio seedlings, an experiment was conducted of completely randomized design with five treatments in three replications. In the first step seeds of Pistacia vera cv. Badami-Riz-Zarand were planted in plastic pots containing vermiculite in March 2013. The humic acid treatments were of five levels (0, 20, 40, 60 & 80 g) and were applied to the seedlings at the four-leaf stage. Results showed that humic acid had significant effect on the plant length, internode distance, root length and width (root expansion) and root fresh and dry weight. The greatest effect was seen for 60 g of humic acid and the least in control treatment (0 g humic acid). In measuring leaf nutrient content in different humic acid treatments, the greatest amounts of Zn, Cu and Mn were in the 40-g humic acid treated plants. Overall, considering growth characteristics and leaf nutrient content, the best results for pistachio seedlings were obtained with about 60 g humic acid. Presumably, through an increase in root expansion, humic acid causes better absorption of nutrients and increased shoot growth. Therefore, humic acid can be used to increase shoot growth and expansion of root system in pistachio seedlings. تفاصيل المقالة

        The study was carried out to evaluate the effects of soil application of humic acid and calciumon morpho-physiological traits and Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+ uptake of Pistachio seedling (Akbari) grown under salt stress. A completely randomized design was used with four replications in greenhouse conditions. The experimental treatment consisted of four levels of humic acid (Bis humic) (0, 4, 8 and 12 gr kg-1 soil) and anti-salt as a source of Ca+2 (0, 1, 2 and 3 gr kg-1 soil). Results indicated that humic acid and anti-salt significantly increased vegetative growth, such as root fresh and dry weight, stem diameter, leaf number and leaf area, of pistachio seedling in comparison with the control group (p&lt;0.05). However, no significant differences in fresh and dry weight of shoot of pistachio seedling were detected in all treatments except in humic acid 8 gr kg-1 soils. The results indicated that the application of humic acid and anti-salt decreased Na+ absorption in pistachio seedling in all experimental treatments (p&lt;0.05). No significant differences in Ca+2 and Mg+2 absorption were detected in all treatments. Results showed a significant reduction of the electrical conductivity (EC) and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) in all levels of humic acid and anti-salt in soil. However, in these treatments, there were no statistically significant differences in the pH. The best concentration of humic acid and anti-salt was 8 gr kg-1 soil and 3 gr kg-1 soil, respectively. This study revealed the relative importance and efficiency of humic acid and anti-salt to salinity stress tolerance in pistachio seedling. تفاصيل المقالة

        Among the most important problems of pistachio are physiological disorders such as fruit abscission and production of blank nuts. Environmental stresses and inadequate nutrition during flowering time have increased these problems in recent years. In order to evaluate the effects of foliar treatments with polyamines and other compounds (amino acids and ascorbic acid) on quantitative and qualitative traits in pistachio cultivars, an investigation was conducted using a factorial experiment base on a completely randomized block design (CRBD) at an orchard condition in the Rafsanjan region. This experiment was performed to evaluate three factors, 1) type of treatment (spermine, spermidin, amino acids and ascorbic acid) at 6 concentrations, 2) cultivar (،Ohadi,, ،Akbari, and ،Kalehghoochi,) with three replications and 3) year (2013 and 2014). Different traits, such as yield per shoot, number of nuts per cluster, fruit abscission, blank nuts, split nuts, deformed nuts, length and diameter shoot were measured. The results indicated that all of the treatments increased yield and percentage of split, and decreased fruit abscission, blank and deformed nuts in comparison with the control. Spermine (1 mM) combined with ascorbic acid and amino acid, had the most significant effect, increasing yield 50 % and split nuts 18 % and also decreasing fruit abscission 20 %, and decreasing blank and deformed nuts 5 % in all cultivars, in comparison with controls. Ascorbic acid and amino acid treatment without polyamines had a lower effect in comparison with spermine treatment combined with these compounds. The combined use of these compounds, e.g., 1 mM spermine, ascorbic acid (0.5 g/L) and amino acids (3 g/L) suggests that they might act as a suitable compound fertilizer in order to reduce fruit abscission and increase the yield of pistachio crops without the impact of environmental pollution. تفاصيل المقالة

        Fresh pistachio fruit cv. Kalleghochi was harvested from the exterior and interior parts of the tree canopy in four geographical directions. The fruit position in exterior and interior parts of the tree canopy has a significant influence on the number of nuts per ounce, pistachio splitting, hull weight, shell weight, kernel weight, colour indices and total anthocyanin content. Results indicated that the number of nuts per ounce, pistachio splitting, kernel weight, red skin colour (a*) and total anthocyanin content of outer-canopy fruits were higher than the fruits from inner-canopy fruits. Pistachio splitting was highest (98.6%) in outer-canopy in comparison to inner-canopy (50.3%) fruits. Results also indicated that the sunlight exposure increased red colour development and accumulation of anthocyanins. The total anthocyanin contents of hull in outer-canopy were 91% higher than those in inner-canopy fruits. Therefore, phenolic accumulation in pistachio hull maybe takenintoconsiderationas an important source of functional compounds in food systems with health promoting effects and antimicrobial activity. Results of this study suggest that the fruit position within the canopy is an important factor in determining physicochemical characteristics of pistachio fruit. تفاصيل المقالة

        Understanding the function of Trichoderma species in the control of Phytophthora drechsleri in pistachio orchards is very important. In this study, the effects of liquid extra-cellular secretions and volatile compounds secreted by 27 isolates of Trichoderma harzianum, T. crassum, T. koningii, T.aureoviride, T. asperellum, T. brevicompactum, T.longibrachiatum and T. virens were investigated on Phytophthora drechsleri growth and zoospore production. Due to cell wall combination of P. drechsleri, the ability of Trichoderma isolates in the production of &beta;-1,3 glucanase and cellulase was evaluated in media with different carbon sources. The inhibitory effects of the 16 isolates of Trichoderma from growth of P. drechsleri were examined in a dual culture test. The results showed that Trichoderma isolates had a variable effect on the growth and zoospore production of P. drechsleri. Trichoderma harzianum-136 and T. harzianum-8279 revealed the highest inhibitory effect on radial growth of P. drechsleri in 20 and 30 percent concentrations of liquid extra-cellular secretions, respectively. Both isolates also showed the highest inhibitory effect on zoospore production of P. drechsleri in 10 percent concentration of extra-cellular liquid secretions. In the volatile compounds test, T. harzianum-8279 had the highest effect on the growth of P. drechsleri. In all Trichoderma isolates, the activity of &beta;-1,3 glucanase was higher than cellulase activity. The enzyme production was also higher in the liquid medium containing the cell wall of P. drechsleri compared to glycerol as a carbon source. The highest activity of &beta;-1,3 glucanase and cellulase was observed in T. harzianum-8279. تفاصيل المقالة

        IIce nucleation active (INA) bacteria arecommon epiphyticinhabitants that cause frost damage in many plants in thenear-zero temperatures. Yet, no studies were found in ice nucleation bacteria associated with pistachio trees. In our earlier study some INA strains were identified and reported. These were assigned as Pseudomonas fragi, P. putida, P. moraviensis and Pantoea agglomerans. In current work, two new strains namely P. viridiflava and Entrobacter cloacea were identified. Their ice nucleation frequency were evaluated and compared with above-mentioned ice positive strains isolated from pistachio trees. Pseudomonas fragi raf3 was considered as the most ice nucleation active bacteria. This was followed by P. putida raf6, P. moraviensis raf1, P. moraviensis raf5, Pantoea agglomeranse raf7, P. viridiflava raf2, Entrobacter cloacea raf8 and Pseudomonas sp. raf4, respectively. To detect INA genes, two setsofdegenerate primers were used and partial INA gene sequences were amplified. INA gene sequence) 425bp) for Pseudomonas putida raf6, Pantoea agglomerans raf7 and P. fragi raf3 were amplified with primer pair of 3308/3463. Whereas, a fragment of 194bp was detected in Pseudomonas sp. raf4, P. moraviensis raf5 and P. moraviensis raf1using forward and reverse primer pair of 3076/3463. Entrobacter cloacea raf8 has reported for the first time as epiphytic ice plus strain. The capability of the latter as a bacterialbiocontrolagent against insect pests was reported. تفاصيل المقالة

        Pistachio powder is a product used today in confectionery, ice cream, pistachio paste and other foods. Considering the higher rate of spoilage and oxidation in pistachio powder, developing methods to increase the shelf-life of this product is therefore important. In this study the effect of freezing and vacuum packaging on the quality characteristics of pistachio powder during storage was investigated. The effect of packaging conditions (vacuum or air packaging), storage temperature (25&deg;C, -18&deg;C) and storage time (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 months) on chemical (free fatty acids, acid value, peroxide value), physical (moisture content and color indexes of L*, a* and b*), and sensory (odor, taste, color, texture and overall acceptance) characteristics were studied. The results revealed that the peroxide value, acid value and free fatty acids in frozen and vacuum containers were lower than those packed without vacuum at room temperature. The results of sensory evaluation indicated a significant difference (p&lt; 0.05) in samples.The best quality characteristics in terms of odor, taste, and overall acceptance belonged to the pistachio powder packed in vacuum and frozen conditions; however, in terms of texture , the containers packed and stored in ambient conditions showed better results. In all cases, the quality of pistachio powder decreased during the storage period. There was no significant difference between samples in moisture content, color indices of L*, a*, b* and sensory evaluation of color. It was generally found that packaging under vacuum and freezing could increase the shelf life of pistachio powder. تفاصيل المقالة
