In the pot test, pistachio plants were infected with M. javanica but when untreated with fungus had the great- est number of galls (69.6) on their roots (Table 1). How- ever, the numbers of galls decreased significantly (P ≤ 0. 05) in the plants treated with fungal isolates, except...
Female plants appear with red stigmata Female and male flowers have a different ripening period. Male tree pollen must match with other mature and receptive flowers from a female tree to fertilize them and lead to fruits. For this reason, a male tree is planted for every eight or ten female...
The plants are usually dioecious (bearing either male or female flowers) and are pollinated largely by wind. Borne in clusters, the white drupe fruits are 1.5 to 2 cm (0.6 to 0.8 inch) long and tend to split at one side without discharging the seed. The “nut” is a greenish kernel...

The word pistachio is generally used to designate the plants and fruits of a single species: Pistacia vera L. Both the plant and its fruits have been used by mankind for thousands of years, specifically the consumption of its fruits by Neanderthals has been dated to about 300,000 years ago...
The pistachio tree flourishes in dry climates and is well adapted to grow and thrive in semi-desert and desert areas of temperate and sub-tropical regions and therefore does not rely heavily on water as a resource [20]. Pistachio trees reach peak production at around 15 years and with ...
