Nutrient Contents and Nut Properties of Pistachio(Pistacia vera L.)Varieties

摘要

In this study,11 varieties(Siirt,Kirmizi,Uzun,Sultani,Ketengomlek,Halebi,Ohadi,Kerman,Kaleh Ghochi,Ahmetaga and Ekberi)and 6 promising genotypes of pistachio(Pistacia vera L.)were evaluated with respect to fruit and leaf nutrient contents(N,P,K,Ca,Mg,Fe,Mn,Zn and Cu)and some pomological characteristics.Pistachio fruits had a range of 3.44%(A-13)-4.21%(A-8)in N,1555 ppm(A-15)-4965 ppm(A-13)in P,0.301%(Halebi)-1.244%(Ohadi)in K,0.027%(Kerman)-0.754%(Ohadi)in Ca,0.76%(KetengomLek)-2.04%(A-13)in Mg,8.46 ppm(A-15)-405.6 ppm(Sultani)in Fe,1.25 ppm(Sultani)-13.15 ppm(A-8)in Mn,5.28 ppm(Kerman)-43.57 ppm(A-19)in Zn and 1.90 ppm(Kerman)-17.30 ppm(A-19)in Cu.Their leaf nutrients were 1.40%(Ohadi)-2.18%(Kerman)for N,346 ppm(Kerman)-1443 ppm(A-3)for P,0.115%(A-3)-1.674%(Siirt)for K,3.83%(Halebi)-8.37%(A-15)for Ca,2.95%(A-8)-4.48%(A-19)for Mg,53.4 ppm(A-15)-335.6 ppm(Kerman)for Fe,9.2 ppm(A-19)-52.6 ppm(A-3)for Mn,13.5 ppm(Kerman)-22.8 ppm(A-13)for Zn and 10.94 ppm(P-65)-87.22 ppm(A-3)for Cu.Besides,as nut characteristics of pistachios,nut weight,kernel weight,kernel percentage and leaf stalk length were between 0.84-1.53 g,0.50-0.82 g,42-70%,3.72-6.50 cm,respectively.
