Authors: S. Ulger, I. Baktir, and D.G. Himelrick
Abstract:
Twenty foreign and domestic fresh fruit apricot cultivars (Prunus armeniaca L.) and selections were
evaluated over eight years under Mediterranean climatic conditions at Antalya, Turkey.
The accessions
were evaluated for precocity, bloom and ripening dates and fruit quality.
The foreign cultivars 'Jaubert
Foulon', Trecoce de Colomer', 'Cafona' and 'Canino ITA' along with the domestic cultivar 'Sakit 7 ,
and selections 07K14 and 01K11 were the most promising in terms of yield and earliness.
Although
33K09 had somewhat lower yields, it was desirable because of its very early ripening.
The tree canopies
and fruit of foreign cultivars were generally larger than domestic ones, but soluble solids concentrations
were lower.
