For this purpose, plastic bags with a height of 25 to 30 cm are used. pistachio shell The higher the height of the plastic bags (30 cm or more), the better for the seedlings to grow. Because the growing environment in the pot is limited and plants such as those grown on the farm and in the garden can not grow their roots and naturally Use soil nutrients. To prepare the plant needs, the soil inside the plastic bags is selected from a mixture of one to two parts sand and one part loam and one part manure or rotten leaf soil.
Transfer of pistachio seedlings to agricultural land:
The soil in which the seedlings are to be planted should be dug a hole 60 cm deep and 40 cm in diameter and filled with soil and manure. Pistachio seedlings should be planted in a 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 crown rot fungi (gum). If the crown is placed above the soil, the part of the root that has been exposed to the air will be destroyed. After placing the seedlings in the pit, press the soil around the seedlings to allow the plant to settle. Seedlings should be irrigated immediately after transplanting.
Many farmers do not pay much attention to proper irrigation of pistachio seedlings after planting. Irrigation of pistachio seedlings should begin immediately after planting and continue with periods of up to 7 days in the first year. In the second year, the irrigation period is gradually changed to once every 14 days, and if there is enough water until the seedlings are transplanted, the seedlings are irrigated with the same period.
