Abstract
Abstract In an effort to find the most appropriate nutrient solution for the growth of pistachio seedlings, three major Iranian pistachio cultivars, Badami and Fandoghi (Pistacia vera L.) and Beneh (Pistacia terebinthus L.) seedlings were grown in an automated sand culture system in a glasshouse for 8 weeks. Treatments included 0, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 10 strength Hoagland solution. Aerial and root growth as well as the uptake of P, Na, K, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, and B were determined. Highest growth of aerial and root portions were associated with dilute (1 strength nutrient solution or lower) and tolerance of media salinity was higher by Badami and Fandoghi than by Beneh.
