The research studied the compatibility of grafting on the pistachio
variety of Nab AL Jamal with three rootstocks (P. vera, P.
Atlantica and P. Khinjuk). This research was implemented in the
nursery of the agricultural department in Hama. The seed
ling
rootstocks were budded in plastic bags at the beginning of June by
T-budding.
The research studied the compatibility of grafting on the pistachio
variety of Ashouri with three rootstocks (P. vera, P. Atlantica and
P. Khinjuk). This research was implemented in the nursery of the
agricultural department in Hama. The seedling
rootstocks were
budded in plastic bags at the beginning of June by T-budding. The results demonstrated that the variety of Ashouri which budded on the Ashouri and P. Khinjuk rootstocks excelled at the p. Atlantica rootstocks, The best average of succeeded graft of Ashouri variety budded on the Ashouri and P. Khinjuk rootstocks reached (73, 69.5 %). While the growth of p. Atlantica and P. Khinjuk rootstocks were stronger than Ashouri rootstocks. The length of Ashouri variety which budded on P. Atlantica and P. Khinjuk rootstocks was (47.36, 49.88 cm), and the diameter was (5.59, 5.67 mm).
This research was carried out through the 201-2011 and 201-/2012 seasons
on 26-year-old trees of AL– Ashouri Pistachio cultivar grown in clay soil, in a
private orchard in Souran region (Hama province). Four types of organic green
fertilizers (Len
tils, Vetch, equal mixture from Lentils and Vetch and mix of
these legumes with barley), in addition to the control, to study their effects on
some quantitative and qualitative characteristics of pistachio nut. Results
showed that the use of green fertilizers caused significant increase in studied
indicators and the best treatment was mix of legumes with barley (45% Lentils,
45% vetch, 10% Barley), which achieved the highest significant values، where
average of weight of the 100 nuts was 107.45 g during the two seasons, the
average of weight of the 100 kernel was 67.08 g, average of length of shell was
20.85mm and an annual yield was 32 kg/ tree, compared with control, which
achieved 87.50g, 40.25g, 18.08 mm and 16.75 kg, respectively.
