The developmental performance of plum varieties budded on different rootstocks in aydın ecology

SUMMARYComplete blooming occured in March. In 2005 seedling/Papaz, GF 8-1/SantaRosa, Common Mussel/Santa Rosa and Common Mussel/Ozark Premiercombinations, and in 2006 Common Mussel/Papaz, Pixy/Papaz, GF 31/Santa Rosaand Common Mussel/Ozark Premier combinations were harvested earlier than theother combinations.The fruit weight was GF 31 in the combinations of ?Papaz? cultivar. It was GF31 in those of ?Santa Rosa? cultivar and it was GF 8-1 in those of ?Ozark Premier?cultivar but it was much more on the combinations grafted on seedling. Howeveryield per tree gained in the experiments, the problems of pollination and fertilizationwere not many owing to the soil conditions. ?Papaz? cultivar in the first experimentyear yielded very little because of pollination problem but in 2006, GF 8-1 yieldedthe highest, for ?Santa Rosa? combinations in 2005, C.Mussel, in 2006 Myrobolan Band ?Ozark Premier? cultivar yielded on GF 8-1 grafted combinations in the years2005 and 2006.In terms of average yield as to the trunk section area; the ?Papaz? cultivar whichis grafted on seedling in the second year is the combination possessing the mostvalue. From the combinations belonging to ?Santa Rosa? in 2005, C. Mussel is themost valuable combination in the second year, Myrobolan B is for ?Ozak Premier?cultivar; GF 8-1 rootstock is the most valuable one. In terms of average yield as tocanopy area, relatively according to the years; for ?Papaz? cultivar; Pixy ve seedling,for ?Santa Rosa? and ?Ozark Premier? cultivars C. Mussel and Myrobolan B carrythe highest value.
