Adaptation of Some Nectarine Cultivars in Aydin Region
Guner Seferoglu and F. Ekmel Tekintas

Abstract: Nine cultivars Nectared-4, Nectared-6, Nectared-8, Independence, Cherokee, Fairlane, Armking, Starks Red Gold and Summer Super Star were used in adaptation experiments. Phenologic observations in the years 1998, 1999 and 2000 and pomologic observations in the years 1999 and 2000 were carried out. It was found that Armking was the earliest cultivar and had the highest pH value while Summer Super Star was the latest cultivar and had the lowest pH value. While the highest average fruit weight was obtained from Summer Super Star the lowest average fruit weight was obtained from Armking cultivar. In terms of yield per tree Cherokee and Summer Super Star cultivars showed the lowest values. Nectared-6 showed the highest value. Armking followed Nectared-6. Cumulative yield per 1 cm2 stem cutting area was also evaluated While Nectared-4 had the highest cumulative yield per 1 cm2stem cutting area, Fairlane had the lowest value. When phenologic, pomologic and cumulative evaluations were considered, Armking, Nectared-6 and Nectared-8 cultivars were noticeably found as proper cultivars for adaptation in regional ecology.
