AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The Imam Ali (PBUH) Holy Shrine is still providing everything new on the artisan, industrial, technical, as well as agricultural levels by implementing a plan to grow pistachios as the first experiment for its specialized agricultural staff in the central nursery of Fadak farm.
Engineer Mustafa Anbar, head of the Department of Agriculture and Animal Resources at the Holy Shrine, said in a statement to the (News Center): "The central nursery in the farm of Fadak has already begun planting pistachio seeds and has obtained high results in germination unprecedented in the agricultural sector at the level of Iraq despite the challenges like the harsh environmental conditions surrounding the farm."
"The plants are in continuous growth stages. We planted about 4000 seedlings, as it is hoped that the seedlings will reach a suitable size and age to transfer them from the central nursery to the farm designated for them to become typical orchards for pistachio trees," he added.
The pistachio trees (Pistacia vera L) are considered perennial deciduous plants, reaching a height of 3-4m. They start production after the third year and stop according to environmental conditions and fertilizer usage.
