Pistachio crops have high viability and profitability. However, it has not yet achieved a high level of commercial expansion for various reasons.
Pistachio production: plantation and climate
Pistachio development is slow, but its plant is very long-lived (estimated to last up to 300 years).
It has an abundant branching, a wide crown and a root system that penetrates deep (looking for water and nutritious salts).
For this reason, it can be successful in soils and climates where other species do not thrive. Thus, the planting frame depends on the soil type and the water available amount.
What can you do to grow pistachio successfully?
Despite the high plantations type viability, starting to grow pistachio requires an initial investment and an optimal production time of up to 10 years. Although it is possible to fully recover the investment and achieve stability and profitability in the ninth year.
To do this, it is necessary to design a good irrigation and fertilization strategy that provides the right water and nutrients dose. In addition to having high-tech facilities for seeds correct germination.
Thus, you improve grip percentage up to 98%, achieve a homogeneous crop and advance production to recover the investment as soon as possible.
