1 Pistachios: A Sustainable Alternative Tree-Crop in Southwest New Mexico? Richard Heerema Pecan & Pistachio Specialist New Mexico State University
2 Are pistachios a sustainable crop for Southwest NM? ANSWER: Yes! Pistachios can be grown sustainably in Southwest New Mexico. But, there s more!

4 The genus Pistacia There are ~11 species in the genus Most are adapted to arid or semi-arid conditions. Native to various parts of southern Asia, north Africa, and the Mediterranean region. P. mexicana is native to Mexico and Texas. Some Pistacia species produce resins for turpentine and mastic. P. chinensis is a popular ornamental tree in the US.

11 Regulated Deficit Irrigation Stage 1: water stress increases % split but reduces nut size. Source: Goldhamer et al, 1984 Stage 2 : Split and yield insensitive to water stress. Stage 3: water stress reduces % splits and kernel growth. Avoid water stress during Stage 3!!!
12 Salinity Pistachios are exceptionally salt tolerant for fruit trees. Photo credit: Dr. Robert Flynn Soil ECe of 9.4 ds/m significant yield reduction (UCB-1 rootstock). Water Pistachios can be irrigated with water as saline as 8 ds/m without yield loss. Sources: Sanden et al 2004
13 Mineral Nutrition Nutrient Nitrogen (N) % Recommended Leaf Concentration Phosphorus (P) % Potassium (K) % Calcium (Ca) % Magnesium (Mg) % Manganese (Mn) Boron (B) Zinc (Zn) Copper (Cu) ppm ppm ppm 6-10 ppm Chlorine (Cl) % Source: UC Pistachio Production Manual Boron Deficiency Symptoms
14 Cultivars Pistachios are dioecious. Male and female flowers are borne on separate plants. It is necessary to plant male trees for pollination. Flowers on a female tree Flowers on a male tree
15 Female Cultivars Fewer than 20 named female cultivars were ever imported to the US. Examples: Red Aleppo (Syria) Bronte (Italy) Trabonella (Italy) Sfax (Tunisia) Kastel (Israel) Rashti (Israel) Kalehgouchi (Iran) Aria (Iran) A few commercial cultivars were developed in the US: Kerman (USDA, 1957) Lassen (USDA, 1962) Joley (UC Davis, 1980) Lost Hills (UC Davis, 2005) Golden Hills (UC Davis, 2005)
16 Female Cultivars Golden Hills Source: Kallsen et al., 2009

Chico Originally collected from Syria. USDA, 1962 Ask (Israel) Nazareth Gazvin (Israel) Randy UC Davis, 2005 Earlier blooming Randy inflorescence
18 Rootstocks Pistachio cultivars are typically t-budded onto seedling or clonal rootstocks. Commercial rootstocks can be: P. terebinthus Cold tolerant, but Verticillium susceptible. P. atlantica Reasonably cold tolerant, but Verticillium susceptible. P. integerrima Verticillium tolerant, but susceptible to cold injury. P. atlantica x P. integerrima e.g., PGII and UCB I
19 Navel Orangeworm (Amyelois transitella) The most serious insect pest in pistachios. Causes reduced nut yields and quality. Dramatically Increases aflatoxin contamination in nuts. Higbee and Siegel, 2009 Controlled by: Sanitation Prevention of early splits Early harvest Well-timed pesticide applications.

22 Photo courtesy of Dr. Natalie Goldberg Photo courtesy of Dr. Natalie Goldberg Cotton Root Rot Caused by soil-borne fungus Phymatotrichopsis omnivorum. Fungus is known to occur in scattered locations around Southwest NM. Kills pistachio trees very quickly- with leaves remaining attached. No effective control methods. Avoid infested fields for pistachio plantings.
23 Alternaria Late Blight & Septoria Leaf Spot Fungal diseases first confirmed in southern NM pistachios in Both diseases are favored by high moisture in the growing season. Not a major concern in most years. Septoria Leaf Spot Alternaria Late Blight Management: Orchard sanitation. May require fungicide application in high rainfall seasons.
