Yeni Kiraz Çeşidi Davraz®’ın Bazı Fiziksel ve Kimyasal özellikleri

Abstract

The Davraz® new sweet cherry cultivar having similar quality properties with ‘0900 Ziraat’ is expected to provide advantages in earlier season supply to sweet cherry markets with the production in warm regions of Turkey. In this study, it was aimed to determine the differences between the fruit quality characteristics and some mineral contents between ‘Davraz’ and ‘0900 Ziraat’ grafted on semi dwarf Gisela 6 sweet cherry rootstock. In this study conducted in 2014-2015 at the Fruit Research Institute (Eğirdir-Isparta-Turkey), the Davraz fruit on the Gisela 6 was larger than ‘0900 Ziraat’ and its fruit stalks longer and heavier than 0900 Ziraat fruit stalks advantageous for export and storage. Other fruit quality characteristics were similar to ‘0900 Ziraat’ fruit. There were no significant differences between fruit firmness, chemical properties and colour values in cultivars. As an alternative to ‘0900 Ziraat’, the ‘Davraz’ is very promising for both domestic and foreign markets with handling time, and it is concluded that it is important both for the producer and the national economy when it is grown with precious rootstock, especially Gisela 6.
