Means within a column, row and their interactions followed with the same letters are not
significantly different from each others according to Duncans multiple ranges test at 5% level.
Results of water levels, media cultures and P
concentrations interaction revealed that pistachio
transplant treated with 50%water+ 2:1river
loamy soil to peatmoss plus 200 mg.p.L-1.pots-1
was the most potent treatment as it gave highest
leaves number (44.00Leaf.plant-1). While the
lowest leaves number was coincide with
25%water+ 1:1river loamy soil to peatmoss and
untreated check treatment (17.00Leaf.plant-1).
However, in media cultures combined with P
concentrations at 2:1river loamy soil to peatmoss
plus 200 mg.p.L-1.pots-1 was the most effective
treatment as it showed that the maximum leaves
number (43.50Leaf.plant-1).
4-Leaf Area (cm 2 ):
The obtained results of both levels of water
(Table4) revealed that irrigated pistachio
transplants with 25%water resulted in significant
increase in leaf area(31.77cm 2 ). Pistachio
transplants treated with media cultures
significantly increased leaf area (32.09 cm 2 )
specially in 2:1river loamy soil to peatmoss in
relation to other treatment. While, at P
concentrations leaf area increased significantly
(35.55cm 2 ) at 300mg.p.L -1 .pots -1 compared to
untreated check (25.40cm 2 ). Results indicated
that the combination between water levels and
media cultures displayed that 25% water and
2:1river loamy soil to peat appeared to the most
potent treatment, as it gave the highest leaf area
(34.73cm 2 ). However, the worst results were
accompanied with (50%water and river loamy
soil)(28.95cm 2 ). Results of water levels and P
concentrations interaction manifested that
pistachio transplants
treated with 25% water and 200mg.L -1 .pots -1
gave the highest leaf area (37.69cm 2 ). However,
the lowest leaf area was observed with
50%water plus 400 mg.p.L -1 .pots -1 (25.02cm 2 ).
Results of P and media cultures interaction
revealed that pistachio transplants treated with P
at concentration 300mg and 2:1river loamy
soil/peatmoss resulted in the highest leaf area
(42.31cm 2 ). Results of P, media cultures, and
water levels interaction indicated that 25%water
+300mg and 300 mg.L -1 .pots -1 was the most
potent treatment of leaf area (43.73cm 2 ). While
the lowest leaf area was coincide with 50%
water and 2:1river loamy soil to peatmoss and
untreated(21.41cm 2 ).
