“…Larvae of tephritid fruit flies are able to increase the concentration of sugars when feeding on the mesocarp of developing walnut fruits, Juglans australis , while simultaneously decreasing concentrations of tannins and phenols, changes which likely reflect the relative beneficial and adverse effects of these compounds, respectively, on larval development (Oroño et al, 2019). In the case of E. ceratoniae , Olyaie Torshiz et al (2020) reported that infestation of pomegranate was negatively correlated with phenolic concentrations in the juice, and noted that fertilization programs significantly affected infestation levels (Olyaie Torshiz et al, 2020), although in the case of pistachio, the phenolic species expressing antiherbivore properties are likely to be different.…”

“…More susceptible cultivars may warrant more careful monitoring and lower treatment thresholds compared to less suitable ones. Given that genotype x environment interactions (Gitonga et al, 2022) and fertilization regimes (Olyaie Torshiz et al, 2020) have the potential to affect the levels of polyphenolic compounds expressed in plants, further exploration could reveal cost-effective cultural means of enhancing their concentration in developing nuts. Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants with many health benefits (Wojdylo et al, 2022), so increasing their concentration in pistachio nuts would also enhance their value for human consumption.…”

The carob moth, Ectomyelois (=Apomyelois) ceratoniae (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), also known as the locust bean moth, is a cosmopolitan pest of high-value fruit and nut crops, including carob, pomegranate, date, citrus and almond (Abedi et al., 2020;Hosseini et al., 2017;Nay, 2006). In Iran, adult moths typically emerge in early May and oviposit on pomegranate, a preferred host, where they may complete several generations before attacking pistachio (Mehrnejad, 2020). On pomegranate, eggs are laid in

“…The level of TA was calculated as the percentage of citric acid, the predominant organic acid in aril juice and expressed as g of citric acid per 100 ml of juice or percentage of citric acid (Schwartz et al 2009). Brie y, 45 ml of distilled water was added to 5 ml of aril juices and titrated with 0.1 N NaOH solution until neutralization (pH 8.2) (Olyaie Torshiz et al 2020). The TA content was calculated based on the volume of used-up NaOH according to the below formula:…”

To investigate the effects of varying climate conditions on the commercial production and shelf life of pomegranate, the main qualitative characteristics of fruit were compared in two pomegranate varieties in their traditional habitats and a new location. Our results revealed that most fruit traits were influenced by growing zones. Specifically, the content of anthocyanin, red color (a*) in aril and fruit peel, as well as titratable acidity in both varieties were significantly decreased in the new, warmer habitat, while, the antioxidant content experienced a more moderate reduction in the new place. On the other hand, the fruits grown in the new climate had substantially higher maturity index and hardness, as well as L* and b* pigments. However, the two varieties responded differently to traits such as 100 arils fresh weight and total soluble solids. The mineral content of fruit was also affected by growing locations, specifically the Ca level of fruits experienced a significant increment in the new climate. The new habitat improved the postharvest quality of fruits, and substantially lower electrolyte leakage and chilling damages were detected in warmer conditions. Taken together the fruits produced from the warmer region were superior to those obtained in their moderate traditional habitats owing to their long-term cold storage, taste index, and nutrients. These results enhance our knowledge regarding the expression of fruit traits in connection with the environment and can be beneficial for making sound planting decisions and crop improvement programs with the aim of improving the quality and postharvest life of fruit.

“…Additionally, fig trees fertilized with 2.5 L of cow dung compared to plants treated with 5 L of cattle manure or 1.25 L of bird manure produced figs with a higher maturation index. In Malaysia, Azmi, Tajudin [ 9 ] reported that 10% of chicken manure increased the fig trees’ survivability to 100%, and this treatment also produced significantly more branches and leaves than other treatments. The results indicated that adding chicken manure to the soil increased its quality and encouraged fig trees to grow in tropical environments.…”

The majority of Iranian fig production is exported, making it one of the world’s most well-known healthy crops. Therefore, the main objective of the current experiment was to investigate the effects of various types of organic fertilizers, such as animal manure (cow and sheep), bird manure (partridge, turkey, quail, and chicken), and vermicompost, on the nutritional status of trees, vegetative and reproductive tree characteristics, fruit yield, and fruit quality traits in dried fig cultivar (“Sabz”). According to the findings, applying organic fertilizers, particularly turkey and quail, significantly improves vegetative and reproductive characteristics. However, other manures such as sheep, chicken, and vermicompost had a similar effect on the growth parameters of fig trees. Additionally, the findings indicated that except for potassium, use of all organic fertilizers had an impact on macro and microelements such as phosphorus, nitrogen, and sodium amount in fig tree leaves. Also, based on fruit color analysis in dried figs, the use of all organic fertilizers improved fruit color. Moreover, the analyses fruit biochemical showed that the use of some organic fertilizers improved that TSS and polyphenol compounds such as coumarin, vanillin, hesperidin gallic acid and trans frolic acid. In general, the results indicated that the addition of organic fertilizers, especially turkey manure, led to increased vegetative productivity and improvement in the fruit quality of the rain-fed fig orchard.
