Harvesting 35000 tons of pistachios in Sirjan city
The director of Jihad Keshavarzi of Sirjan city said: the 45-day pistachio harvest operation in Sirjan city has been completed and according to the previous forecast, the production of this year’s crop was equal to 35 thousand tons.
Ahmad Masoudi, director of Jihad Keshavarzi in Sirjan city, added: After harvesting, it was found that more than 50% of the pistachios harvested were closed-mouthed and there was between 10 and 30% grain voids in this year’s crop, the most important reasons for which are heat. The weather pointed in July and August.
He pointed out: The most important result that has been obtained from the study of orchards and should be considered by farmers is that in orchards that have used pressurized irrigation systems, the rate of production reduction and damage compared to the above issues is very high. It was less, ie the percentage of porosity and the amount of closed mouth was lower and, most importantly, they had a lower ounce, which is one of the advantages of using pressurized irrigation systems.
