Determination of pollen and fertilization performance of some apricot varieties [Bazı kayısı çeşitlerinin çiçek tozu ve döllenme performanslarının belirlenmesi]

In fruit species, suitable pollinator variety and its pollen quality are effective on fruit setting and as a result, increase the productivity can be provided. For this purpose, some apricot varieties (Iğdır, Tokaloğlu, Precoce de Tyrinthe, Şekerpare, Kabaaşı and Hacıhaliloğlu) were investigated in two different ecology. According to this, pollen viability rates of Precoce de Tyrinthe and Şekerpare varieties were found high, while Kabaaşı variety was low. The pollen production was determined to be high in Malatya although it differed according to the varieties. In İzmir ecology, it was found out that Precoce de Tyrinthe cultivar is appropriate in addition Iğdır variety with appropriate pollinators (Şekerpare and Tokaloğlu) will be possible to grow in high altitude regions that meet chilling requirements. In Malatya ecology, productivity can be increased with all varieties examined depending on pollinators. © 2017, Centenary University. All rights reserved
