Abstract
Determination of Some Tree and Fruit Characteristics of Local Apple Genotypes Grown in Kumru (Ordu) District
This research has been planned; to determine some tree and fruit characteristics of native apple genotypes grown in Kumru district of Ordu province. The research was performed during 2010-2011-2012 years and were investigated 27 native apple genotypes. In this genotypes; 71.41-245.99 g fruit weight, 61.01-95.59 mm fruit diameter, 6.94-12.64 pound fruit flash firmness, 9.40-13.60% soluble solid content, 2.83-4.11 pH, 0.22-2.01% titratable acidity were found. From the full flowering time to the harvest time was between 74-163 days. In the investigated apple genotypes, alternate bearing was determined in 13 apple genotypes as absent, 11 apple genotypes as existent and 3 apple genotypes as partial.
