| Abstract:
Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.), one of the most important horticultural products of Iran, has been planted widely in the province of Kerman, the main area for pistachio production. The province of Kerman, especially the Rafsanjan region, has the largest number of different varieties with recognizable characteristics in cultivation and use, compared with other areas of Iran, or with any other country. Iran has always been the main pistachio exporter in the world. Recently, pistachio tree planting is increasing in the country. The pistachio production practices are intensive, including pollination, irrigation, nutrition and control of pests and diseases. Pistachio harvesting, processing, grading, packing, and storage are reviewed in detail. | |
