Sarılop incir çeşidinde farklı budama yoğunluklarının gelişim ve meyve kalitesi üzerine etkileri

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to reveal the effect of pruning intensity in terms of yield and quality in dried fig cultivation in winter pruning, one of the important techniques in fruit production. Material and Methods: Winter pruning (B3=3 buds/shoot, B5=5 buds/shoot, B7=7 buds/shoots) and two separate control applications (Bk (no pruning) and B0 (no tip taking application)) were performed at five different bud intensities in Sarılop fig varieties. Results: When dried fig fruit was examined as scrap, cracked and normal fruit, normal dried figs were found to be 74.49% for the B7 application. Total dried fruit yield was 11.34 kg/tree with highest B7 application and lowest 6.91 kg/tree with B3 application. According to the quality classification of the normal fruit, B7 has an Extra Grade product of 60.95%, followed by B5 with 55.58%, and the lowest was in Bk with 16.49%. Conclusion: Pruning trees at 7 buds/shoot stage came into prominence in terms of yield and quality. Likwise, all of the other pruning applications were successful in terms of quality as compared to control applications.
