“…Combination among all the micronutrients application significantly increase yield of the pistachio trees may be because of the important roles of zinc in growth promoting substances (Shivanandam et al, 2007), cupper for the activities of certain enzymes which are beneficial in cell growth (Kallsen et al 2000) and iron in electron transport chain (Meshcheryakov and Alekhina (1971)). Our results demonstrated that the combination among micronutrients significantly increased final fruit set and thus fruit yield, Sotomayor et al (2000), and Pandit, et al, (2008) they revealed that the combination among studied treatments significantly increase final fruit set in trees. This increase in fruit set and yield might be attributed to the best possible development of pollen tube, adequate levels of nutrients in pollen grain, also an increase in duration of pollination time.…”

This study was conducted at a private orchard in the Ekmale village of Duhok Governorate, Kurdistan Region, Iraq during growing season (2020) to evaluate the effect of foliar sprays of three concentrations of zinc (0, 750, and 1500 mg.L−1 ), three concentrations of copper (0, 100, and 200 mg.L−1 ) and three concentrations of iron (0, 150, and 300 mg.L−1 ) on leaf nutrient, fruit set, as well as yield and quality of 18- years old " Halebi " pistachio trees. The nutrition solutions were sprayed on trees at two times (bud swell stage and green tip stage). Based on the obtained results, fruit set percentage, yield, and leaf nutrient were significantly affected by foliar application of a zinc, copper and iron each alone. In combination, the triple interactions among 1500mg.L−1 zinc plus 200mg.L−1 copper and 300mg.L−1 iron was the most affected one which exceed significantly on the control treatment, Moreover, nutrient treatment had a significant effect on the percentage of blankness. In general, these results show that Zn, Cu and Fe fertilizers is necessary for obtaining better yield and fruit quality in " Halebi " pistachio trees.
