Keep Split Rates Up & Blanking Down

92% reduction in blanks

64% reduction in closed nuts

High split rates and low blanking are the trademarks of quality pistachio production.

Water and nutrient availability, including boron, are the leading factors that influence blanks and splits. The MyLand service cultivates consistent water storage to improve these factors – growers experienced 7% increase water holding capacity.

Increase Production and Reduce Stress on Trees

PISTACHIOS CAN HANDLE MODERATE SOIL SALINITY, BUT SALT CAN STILL BE A PROBLEM.

MyLand serviced soils have seen a 1.4% increase in soil aggregation and a 24% reduction of sodium in the root zone.
Salinity problems, like structural crusting, can be resolved with improved soil aggregation and stabilization.

Increase Soil Organic Matter

WITHOUT THE COST AND EFFORT OF COVER CROPPING OR MULCHING.

MyLand growers have seen a 1% increase in Soil Organic Matter (SOM).

The MyLand Service provides organic matter directly into the soil in the form of your own native microalgae.

Increased SOM reduces soil erosion and improves soil quality. The best part? You don’t have to change any of your current practices on the farm.

Pistachio Trees Need Potassium

INCREASE CRITICAL NUTRIENTS BY IMPROVING SOIL FUNCTION.

Heavy bearing, mature pistachio trees require copious quantities of potassium – up to 24 pounds per 1,000 pounds of nut dry weight, plus 24 pounds to support large tree growth.

This essential element is an activator for plant enzymes and plays a role in plant-water relations. Most of the potassium is applied in nut production and is removed during harvest.

The MyLand Service increases nutrient cycling in soil, which mineralizes potassium and makes it available to trees.

MyLand offers a solution that can be fitted into any growing program without changing anything else in your practices. These are the tools we need to fast forward soil health because we don't have time to wait for soil to naturally recover on its own. MyLand floods the system with a food source for the biology, helping soil overcome inhospitable conditions.

I am pleased and surprised to see that improvements were truly observed even in a short period of applications.

We have already reduced the nitrogen rate on the treated blocks by 30%, from 200 lbs per acre to 140, and the total nitrogen is still higher. The nitrogen levels in the leaf tissue are still elevated.
