at 200mg.p.L -1 .Pots- 1 as compared to<br />

control(4.87mm).<br />

<strong>The</strong> obtained results of both water regime and<br />

media culture revealed that treating pistachio<br />

transplants resulted in a significant increase in<br />

stem diameter(5.84mm), particularly at 50% plus<br />

2:1sand to peatmoss as compared to control.<br />

However, water levels with P concentrations<br />

substantially increased steam diameter(6.50mm)<br />

specially at 25%water plus100mg.p.L -1 .Pots -1 as<br />

compared to control. While, results indicated<br />

that the combination between media culture and<br />

P concentration displayed that 2:1river loamy<br />

soil/peatmoss and 200mg.p.L -1 .Pot -1 appeared to<br />

be the most potent treatment, as it gave the<br />

highest stem diameters (7.80mm). However, the<br />

lowest values were accompanied with 1: 1river<br />

loamy soil/peatmoss plus untreated check<br />

(4.20mm). Results of water regime, media<br />

culture, P concentrations and their interactions<br />

manifested that treating pistachio transplants<br />

with (50% water, 2:1river loamy soil/peatmoss<br />

plus 200mg.L -1 .pots -1 gave the highest stem<br />

diameter (7.59mm). However, the lowest stem<br />

diameters was observed with(25% water,<br />

1:1river loamy soil/peatmoss plus untreated<br />

check (4.22mm).<br />
