Abstract
SummaryThe flowering period of male and female pistachio trees rarely coincides in the eastern Mediterranean islands of Rhodes and Kos. The late blooming of the female trees is probably due to lack of sufficient winter chilling. Spraying female trees with mineral oil-DNOC during their rest period advanced their blooming date by about 3 weeks, sufficient to overlap that of both cultivated and wild male pistachio trees, and led to an economic increase in fruit set.
