Gisela 5 ve Kuşkirazı Anaçları Üzerine Aşılı Davraz ve 0900 Ziraat Kiraz Çeşitlerinin Verim, Meyve Kalitesi ve Fenolojik Özelliklerinin Belirlenmesi

Sweet cherry production has become one of important sources of income in Turkey fruit industry. There are many studies on productivity and quality criteria that they are the most important components of sustainable production. In this study, yield and quality variation in Davraz and 0900 Ziraat sweet cherry varieties grafted on Mazzard and Gisela 5 rootstocks and also the differences on flowering and harvest time were examined. No significant differences on fruit firmness, soluble solids content, fruit stalk length and core size of Davraz and 0900 Ziraat sweet cherry varieties were found. It was determined that bloom date of Davraz variety was 5-6 days earlier than 0900 Ziraat variety and also ripening date of Davraz variety 4-5 days earlier than 0900 Ziraat. Davraz variety had more yield than it. Significant differences were determined among rootstocks according to yield per tree. However, there was no significant differences on yield/per unit area comparing different planting distances and growth vigour of Gisela 5 and Mazzard rootstocks. As a result, Davraz new variety in sweet cherry production of Turkey has an exportable quality, higher yield and early ripening characteristics. Therefore this variety will create a special production area for Davraz for sweet cherry industry
