The place where the seedlings are to be planted should be dug 60 cm deep and 40 cm pistachio shell in diameter and filled with topsoil with manure. Seedlings should be planted in the pit so that the crown (the distance between the root and the stem) is at ground level.
If the crown of the plant sinks into the soil, it may rot or be attacked by fungi that cause crown rot (gum). Even if it is higher than the soil, the parts of the root that have been exposed to the air will be destroyed. After placing the seedlings in the pit, press the soil around the seedlings to place the plant. Seedlings should be irrigated immediately after transplanting.
