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.

<p>The fruit thinning process is employed for the production of high quality large-sized fruits and prevent the production of compact bunches. It is also one way to reduce the alternate bearing habits in date palm. In this study, seven thinning treatments (i.e. without spraying water after pollination, spraying water at 3 minutes after 3, 4 and 5 h, spraying Ethephon at 0, 500 and 1000 ppm after ten days from pollination) are used for Khalas and Ruzeiz date palm cultivars. The factorial experiment in a randomized completely block design with three replicates was done. The results reveal that, spraying water after mechanical pollination has reduced fruit set% and increased fruit shees%. Most thinning treatments reduced fruit yield/palm in both Khalas and Ruzeiz. Spraying water after 5 h enhanced fruit quality compared with the other thinning treatments in besr and tamr stages. Spraying with ethephon at 1000 ppm gave the increased sugars content and TSS, whereas reduced the moisture content in besr stage. Spraying water after 5 h from mechanical pollination or Ethephon at 1000 ppm after 10 days are suitable for obtaining economic yield with best fruit quality.</p>
