Effects Of Seedling And Gf-31 Rootstocks On Yield And Fruit Quality Of Some Table Apricot Cultivars Grown In Mersin, Levent Son, Ali̇ Küden Jan 2003

Effects Of Seedling And Gf-31 Rootstocks On Yield And Fruit Quality Of Some Table Apricot Cultivars Grown In Mersin, Levent Son, Ali̇ Küden

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

This experiment was conducted in Mut-Mersin between 1997 and 2001 to determine the effects of seedling and GF-31 rootstocks on the yield and quality of fruits of Tokaloğlu, Precoce De Tyrinthe, Joubert Foulon, Canino, Sakıt 6, Beliana, Priana and Early Kishnevski table apricot cultivars. Fruit yields were highest on apricot seedling rootstocks for all cultivars. Yields (kg tree^{-1}) ranged between 14.66 kg (Tokaloğlu) and 63.06 kg (Priana) on apricot seedling rootstocks and between 13.6 kg (Sakıt 6) and 41.13 kg (Priana) on Myrobalan GF-31 rootstock in 2001. Of the cultivars tested, Priana gave the highest yield (kg tree^{-1}), except in …


The Effects Of Sewage Sludge Applications On The Yield,Growth, Nutrition And Heavy Metal Accumulation In Apple Trees Growing In Dry Conditions, Mehmet Ali̇ Bozkurt, Tarik Yarilgaç Jan 2003

The Effects Of Sewage Sludge Applications On The Yield,Growth, Nutrition And Heavy Metal Accumulation In Apple Trees Growing In Dry Conditions, Mehmet Ali̇ Bozkurt, Tarik Yarilgaç

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

The effects of various sewage sludge (biosolid) rates and a single dose barnyard manure application on the fruit yield, growth, nutrition and heavy metal accumulation of apple trees were investigated. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design with 4 replicates in dry conditions in Van, in the East Anatolia region of Turkey in 2000 and 2001. Sewage sludge was added to the soil at the rates of 0, 10, 20, 40 and 60 kg tree^{-1}. Barnyard manure was applied to the soil at a rate of 25 kg tree^{-1}. Two years' data showed that the addition of sewage …


Effects Of Plant Density And Number Of Shoots On Yield And Fruit Characteristics Of Peppers Grown In Glasshouses, H. Yildiz Daşgan, Kazim Abak Jan 2003

Effects Of Plant Density And Number Of Shoots On Yield And Fruit Characteristics Of Peppers Grown In Glasshouses, H. Yildiz Daşgan, Kazim Abak

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Plant density and pruning systems play a key role in the effective use of the area inside the greenhouse. Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) cultivars, Amazon-long green and Balo bell-shape type, were grown in the winter cultivation period in a glasshouse. A constant space of 80 cm between rows with different within-row spacings (45 cm, 30 cm and 15 cm) and shoot numbers (between one and four shoots per plant) were applied to optimize plant density and number of shoots. Wider within-row spacing and higher shoot numbers per plant increased the number of leaves. However, the individual leaf blade area was …
