Abstract
Trials were carried out between 19752001 to determine the best cultivarrootstock combination of pistachio for arid conditions at The Pistachio Research Institutes experiment areas in Gaziantep.
Five standard pistachio cultivars (Siirt, Kirmizi, Halebi, Uzun, and Ohadi) were budded on three different rootstock species (Pistacia khinjuk Stocks, P. atlantica Desf. and P. vera L.). Experimental orchard was established at 2 x 2 m in spacing in 1976 but spacing was changed to 2 x 4 m in 1995. Based on tree growth, bearing, yield and some quality characteristics of rootstock and cultivar combinations Siirt P. khinjuk was determined as the best rootstock and cultivar combination for arid areas.
