Determination of Yield and Quality Characteristics of Valencia Orange Types Selected in Turkey

摘要

In this study, the yield and fruit characteristics of thirteen Valencia types selected from citrus growing regions of Turkey between 1979 - 1983 were examined in Adana ecological conditions during 2002, 2003 and 2004 years as the second stage of the citrus selection project. Twenty three pomologic and three vegatative characteristics were evaluated with analyses and measurements so, the types which has the best results for each one of the characteristics were determined. Besides, the clones which show superior performance were found by using weighed-average method. As a result, 55-A, 59-A and 76-A types were determined with the highest yield per tree. 70-A, 55-A and 88-A were found as the best types in yield per tree and other selected characters by using weighted-average method. On the other hand, 75-A, 57-D and 76-A were determined as the best types in terms of yield per tree canopy volume.
