These improvements translate into a considerable increase in crop productivity and profitability, in pistachio quality and in

Selecting pistachio varieties is a strategic decision that directly influences the quality and quantity of production, as well as the profitability of the agricultural project. Each variety has different agronomic characteristics, with advantages and disadvantages that must be analysed together with the climatic conditions of the area, the technical aspects of the plantation management and

To ensure the success of any agricultural project, it is essential to carry out preliminary studies to determine the technical and economic feasibility of the crop. Afterwards, if the feasibility is established and the profitability of the plantation is determined, it is also necessary to focus on the land in order to carry out work
