Application of mulch (soil cover) in pistachio orchards

Iran is a country with an arid and semi-arid climate with Iranian Pistachio insufficient water resources.

Qom province with an average rainfall of about 140 mm and annual evaporation

Above 3000 mm has semi-desert weather conditions and this

This has led to the lack of development of gardens and green space per capita to the required extent

Is. Among the appropriate strategies for developing planting is the optimal use of water resources

And increase water use efficiency by preventing evaporation

Is water. Coating soil mulch is actually a convenient solution for management

Optimal water consumption is reduced by reducing water evaporation in many parts of the world

Is taken into consideration. Mulch is an ecologically excellent product.

The simple mulching mechanism has an amazing effect on the biological properties of the environment

Causes significant changes in soil quality, plant height and resource conservation

Tus. This product also counteracts the growth of weeds and through this

In addition to creating a clean landscape, these undesirable plants compete with plants

Finishes our favorite in an organic way and thus need

To use chemical herbicides that themselves poison the soil and plants

Are fixes. A three-centimeter layer of mulch creates texture

Porous on the ground, allowing for the respiration and exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide

Provides soil, from crushed and compacted to familiarity with operations

Pistachio extract prevents the soil from becoming 73 and prevents washing and erosion

It becomes. Organic properties of mulch, the conditions for the activity of microorganisms

Favorable substrates are made conducive to the formation of light and fertile soil

Leads. Organic mulch is a protective shield against the intense summer heat, cold

Severe winters and day and night temperature differences, mulch as a barrier against this

Natural disasters withstand and maintain the balance of soil temperature in all seasons

And causes the growth and freshness of the most sensitive plants in diverse climatic conditions

Provides.

Mulch continuously nourishes the soil with minerals during its useful life

And as it slowly tus into good natural compost, fertility

Soil increases are one of the lesser discussed topics

There are mulches or soil cover that are very effective in orchards, especially pistachio orchards

It has a high. In many studies the use of mulches has great effects in gardens

Have applied pistachios. In case of mulch application, the water requirement of trees is significantly reduced

Pistachios are expected and have positive effects such as increasing the chlorophyll content of the leaves

And photosynthetic indices of pistachio trees and quantitative yield improvement traits

And qualitatively reported. In extensive studies on the application of mulch

Some elements, such as potassium and calcium, have been more noticeable, and the reason for this is preservation

The moisture content was higher, which helped to absorb and transfer these elements

Is. Mulches can be homogeneous with soil or of other materials such as crumbs

Wood, sawdust and organic compounds such as animal manure and weeds or soil

Polyethylene coatings. In pistachio orchards, mulches of silt and sand

Called Rig gardeners, it has shown its efficiency more

And is affordable. The use of mulches can complement a diet

Be good.
