Continued from Page 47 that was resistant to verticillium wilt and also tolerant to frost and salinity. UC researchers noted that trees on UCB 1 rootstocks have Verticillium tolerance equal to that of trees on PG 1 rootstocks and are producing better yields. Both hybrids are rated equal in terms of general vigor. In addition trees on UCB 1 rootstocks are also tolerant of saline conditions as trees grown on PG1 rootstocks. Analysis of the components of yield, clusters per tree, nuts per cluster and nut size showed UCB 1 is the top performer with more clusters per tree, but not more or bigger nuts per cluster. Rootstock also affects the vigor of the most commonly planted scion cultivar Kerman, producing a larger tree with more clusters. LOWER OPERATING COSTS and generate long term savings sunworks 25 years worry-free WARRANTY Mike Doherty Chamisal Creek Ranch, Blue Diamond Grower Fixed Ground and Roof Mount Solar System As you conduct your daily business, we are here to help you succeed. Agricultural solar projects yield long term savings, tax benefits, and near-zero electricity rates for farms, orchards, hullers and processors. Sunworks has completed solar solutions that lower operating costs while optimizing crucial real estate for mission critical growing and processing. 866.600.6800 | sunworksusa.com CA Lic# 441690 Rootstock does not affect alternate bearing which is a function of the scion cultivar alone and that permanent elimination of this characteristic will come from rootstock breeding. Pistachio rootstocks may be propagated sexually to produce seedlings or asexually to produce clones. Ficthner said there are advantages and disadvantages with both procedures. For UCB 1 seedling propagation, pollen is collected at anthesis and stored in a freezer. It is applied to P. atlantica female tree at bloom several weeks later. There is more variability in the rootstocks produced with this method, Fichtner said, but with the diversity there is the opportunity to identify superior individuals. The clonal system of propagation ensures uniformity of plants and also rapid multiplication of plants to help meet the demand for new trees. Uniformity can also be the disadvantage to the clonal method of propagation as there will be uniform susceptibility to pathogens, pests and stresses. Micropropagation is the practice of rapidly multiplying stock plant material to produce a large number of progeny plants using plant tissue culture. This practice helps meet the high demand for new trees, Fichtner said. Axillary bud proliferation can deliver a high rate of progeny, but there is a higher risk of mutation within tissue lines.

Shield Your Tree Nuts with SILICON 7% by SILICON Heat Stress | Drought Resistant | Thicker Leaf | Better Product Silicon is an essential mineral element for some plants and is beneficial for all higher plants. It can function as an essential trace element in metabolic roles and also accumulate in large quantities in certain tissues, cells and cellular components to enhance physical attributes of plants. Silicon associates with calcium and pectin in the intercellular walls spaces in the roots providing rigidity of leaves improving photosynthetic activity. It reinforces the walls of the vessel cells in the xylem, preventing compression under conditions of high transpiration thus improving sap circulation. Silicon has important roles in the formation of new leaves, pollination, fruit formation and fruit storage.
