Ladybirds associated with pistachio trees in part of Kerman province, Iran (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) [PDF]
The majority members of the family Coccinellidae are predators, so they have received considerable research attention because of their potential to act as biocontrol agents. The coccinellids complex of pistachio trees was monitored at both cultivated and

Evaluation of Freezing Damage in some Pistachio Seedling Rootstocks [PDF]
A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the freezing damage in some pistachio rootstocks by ion leakage and pH changes of leaked solution. A factorial experiment was carried out in randomized block designs (RBD) with three factors: Temperature (

Application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Image Processing for Prediction of the Geometrical Properties of Roasted Pistachio Nuts and Kernels [PDF]
Roasting is the most common way for pistachio nuts processing, and the purpose of that was to increase the products total acceptability. Purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of temperature (90, 120 and 150°C), time (20, 35 and 50 min), and

Probability models for growth and aflatoxin B1 production as affected by intraspecies variability in Aspergillus flavus [PDF]
The probability of growth and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) production of 20 isolates of Aspergillus flavus were studied using a full factorial design with eight water activity levels (0.84e0.98 aw) and six temperature levels (15e40 C).
