Abstract

To study the lands covered by the border rivers of Kermanshah province to provide the pattern of fruit tree cultivation from 2017 to 2019 based on field studies of the target areas and the review of meteorological information, soil science, the history of fruit tree cultivation in the study areas, the pattern of tree cultivation of fruit was determined in these areas. Climatic zoning and providing a regional cultivation model is one of the duties of those in charge of production to reduce the damage to producers due to climatic factors and to control the amount of production, which helps regulate the market. Presenting a regional cultivation model in line with production policy and preventing production surplus, which by completing the production chain can overcome the problems of the past few decades in the country's fruit industry. The purpose of this project is to study and analyze the climatic, soil, and social conditions of land covered by border rivers in different parts of Kermanshah provinces that have different climates and microclimates. Also, field studies are the history of cultivation of horticultural products, and finally, the suitable species of each region and the bases appropriate to the soil conditions of those regions are suggested.

Study of Lands Covered by Border Rivers of Kermanshah Province to Present the Pattern of Industrial Fruit Trees Cultivation

Highlights

  • The selling price during a part of the harvest season in Iran is very low and due to the lack of processing and warehousing systems, causes great economic losses to gardeners and the country.
  • Determining a suitable cultivation pattern requires that the study area be divided according to the hydrological areas and units in that area.
  • In this study, all suitable species were recommended for each region according to the climatic conditions.
