Pistacia vera is a perennial deciduous fruit tree belonging to Pistacia of Lacqueraceae, which is one of the five largest nut crops in the world. They are drought-resistant, heat-resistant and salt-tolerant and can be planted in arid areas and hilly slopes.

Fruit is rich in minerals, vitamins, antioxidant elements and other nutrients, which can stabilize blood sugar and inhibit cholesterol absorption.

So how much is the price of pistachios per catty? What are the planting methods of pistachios? Let's take a look at it next!

1. How much is pistachio per catty?

Different varieties of pistachios have different prices. The price of pistachios in Luquan District of Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province is 43 yuan per catty, the price of pistachios in Napo County of Baise City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is 32 yuan per catty, the price of pistachios in Shangcheng District of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province is 62 yuan per catty, the price of pistachios in Tonglu County of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province is 38 yuan per catty, and the price of pistachios in Jintang County of Chengdu City, Sichuan Province is 46 yuan per catty.

Second, the planting method of pistachios

1, orchard site selection

Pistacia vera is barren, drought-resistant, cold-resistant and adaptable, but it is best to choose loam and sandy loam plots with deep soil layer and good ventilation for planting. Because pistachio is easy to suffer from late frost, it is necessary to pay attention to the middle of the hillside, the empty flat land, the valley and the sheltered south hillside, and not to build a garden on the windward side of the main wind direction.

2, seedling planting

The row spacing of pistachios should be 3m 4m or 4m 5m, 33-55 plants should be planted per mu, and 83-11plant can be planted per mu in close planting garden. Both finished seedlings and bud seedlings can be used to plant seedlings. Before planting, dig a planting pit with a depth of 60cm and a diameter of10cm. When planting, the roots should be flush with the ground, and then irrigate the soil while planting.

3. Fertilizer and water management

Young trees are applied with base fertilizer 1 time every year, and each tree is applied with about 20kg fertilizer. Trees should be applied 1 time every 2-3 years in the fruiting period, and fertilization is generally divided into 3 times a year. For the first time, available nitrogen fertilizer is mainly applied in early spring or autumn and winter, for the second time, nitrogen and potassium fertilizer are mainly applied in the fruit expansion period, and for the third time, organic fertilizers such as compost and manure are mainly applied after the fruit is harvested. Usually combine deep ploughing in autumn and irrigate in time before winter.

4, plastic pruning

Pistachios like light and dryness. High-density orchards are dominated by free spindles, low-density orchards are dominated by natural happiness, and pistachios have thick branches. The principle of pruning is more thinning and less cutting, and pistachios are mainly short branches and fruits. Young trees and fruit trees grow vigorously at the beginning of fruit, with more middle and long branches. Generally, when new branches grow to about 50-60 cm, they should be picked in time to promote secondary branches, increase fruiting branches, and keep back branches and upright branches.

5. Flower and fruit management

Strengthen the management of soil, fertilizer and water in orchard, enhance tree vigor, promote flower bud differentiation, apply more organic fertilizer and rationally allocate pollinated trees. Pistachios are self-flowering and do not bear fruit. Generally, 1 row pollinated varieties are arranged in every two rows of main cultivated varieties, which creates conditions for normal pollination of pistachio and is conducive to improving fruit setting rate.

To sum up, if farmers want to grow high-yield pistachios, they must master correct planting methods and scientific management methods. I hope this article can help everyone.
