Cost analysis of treasure tree (Pistacia lentiscus Var. Chia) seedling production techniques

In this thesis Pistacia lentiscus var. chia, the most suitable methods for seedling production were evaluated and stage cost analysis was performed for each of the production methods and the unit costs were found. The method of producing the most amount of production in the shortest time by using the least rootstock at the lowest cost was investigated. Pen vaccine, thrust vaccine and eye vaccine were used in seedling production methods by grafting. The highest vaccine holding rate of these methods was found to be 20% in the pen vaccine and the unit cost of seedlings was 56,51 TL. In the stage cost analysis, it was found that the unit cost of seedling production was very high due to the high waste rate and the maintenance costs. Therefore, all vaccination studies do not provide for the labor and costs spent. The success rate was determined as 50% and the unit cost of seedlings was 21,93 TL. In the phase cost analysis of this method, although the waste rate is 50% and maintenance costs increase the cost, although the rooting cost is low, it is seen that the unit cost of production with steel is higher than the overhead rooting but it is suitable for gum sap production as an alternative to overhead rooting. The success rate was 98% and the unit cost of seedlings was 15,50 TL. In the phase cost analysis of this method, there is no maintenance costs and the waste rate is very low, so that the unit cost is low. It has been determined that overhead rooting method is the most suitable method for mass production of seedlings and that the maximum number of seedlings can be produced with minimum effort and cost in the shortest time.
