Abstract
In this study, pomological characteristics of 54 pomegranate types obtained and selected as a result of selfing and crossbreeding of ‘Hicaznar’, ‘Fellahyemez’ and ‘Ernar’ cultivars were determined in Mersin-Erdemli ecological conditions.
The study was carried out in Alata Horticultural Research Institute.
The trees in the experimental plot were planted at 5×3 m and irrigated and fertilized with drip irrigation system.
The trees were shaped as 2-3 trunks.
In the experiment, fruit weight, fruit width and length, calyx diameter and length, 100-aril weight, aril yield, juice yield, rind and seed color, rind thickness, seed hardness, taste, TSS and acidity values of pomegranate types were measured.
Fruit characteristics of hybrid types in Mersin ecology showed great variation.
According to the obtained data, the heaviest fruits were determined in ‘Onurnar5’, the widest fruits in ‘Antalyanar17’, the longest fruits in ‘Canernar6’, the highest rind thickness in ‘Hicranar4’, the highest fruit aril and juice yield in ‘20/138’ and the highest 100 aril weight in ‘19/147’ pomegranate type.
