Mycorrhizal treatments increase the compatibility between Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) cultivars and seedling rootstock of Pistacia terebinthus L.

摘要

The bud-rootstock compatibility is decisive in the success of grafting pistachios. Climate conditions and appropriate rootstock choice are the two key factors influencing grafting success. Despite producers' efforts, fluctuations in these factors result in frequent differences in annual yield. To minimize production losses by increasing the percentage of successful grafting would greatly benefit the introduction of this crop in new areas.
