Abstract :
In Iran, pistachios, as a strategic product, have a special place among agricultural products and account for a major part of non-oil exports. Therefore, studying its various aspects is important. The use of new methods in measuring substances in laboratory samples in recent years has caused a revolution in biological sciences. One of these methods is the use of X-ray diffraction. Using this method, they identify and measure particles and their distances. This article is especially important for heavy elements that are absorbed in small amounts in the plant but have a considerable effect on the biological cycle. One of the advantages of this method is the speed, accuracy and simplicity in preparing the samples The results of this experiment indicated that X-ray diffraction can be used as a diagnostic method for the presence or absence of an element in a plant. It is also possible to confirm the presence of crystals in a sample using this method The effect of zinc and iron elements individually or together on the absorption and formation of silver crystals in the plant was another result of this experiment It was found that zinc has a positive effect on the formation of silver particles, while iron did not affect this process.
