ADAPTATION OF SOME PISTACHIO CULTIVARS TO IRRIGATED CONDITIONS FOR SOUTHEAST REGION OF TURKEY
This study was carried out at the Tektek Station of GAP Soil and Water Resources and Agricultural Research Institute in Sanliurfa during 1994-2008 years to determine suitable pistachio cultivars for irrigated conditions. Pistacia khinjuk was used as rootstock and 14 pistachio cultivars and types were compared.
They were Uzun and Siirt as domestic; and Kerman, Ohadi, Vahidi, Mumtaz and Haciserifi as foreign; and Sel 1 named as Tekin, Sel 2, Sel 5, Sel 10, Sel 11 named as Barak Yildizi, Sel 14 and Sel 15 types (selected by Pistachio Research Institute in Gaziantep). Orchards were irrigated by drip irrigation system.
Yield and quality characteristics of the cultivars and types were determined for last 5 years (2004-2008 years). Phenological observations were also carried out in 2008. The higheer yields were obtained from Mumtaz, Tekin and Sel 5, while the lower values were from Barak Yildizi, Kerman and Sel 15. Pomological characteristics were observed to determine the nut quality.
The best results were obtained from Mumtaz and Vahidi for 100 dry fruits weight; from Siirt, Tekin, Sel 2 and Sel 5 for split nuts; and from Ohadi, Siirt and Tekin for kernel ratio.
Regarding result of the Weighted-Rankit test; Tekin, Mumtaz and Sel 5 have been determined as suitable pistachio cultivars for irrigated conditions for Southeast of Turkey.
