Determination of some characteristics of local piraziz apple cultivar grafted on M9 and MM106 rootstocks

This study was carried out by the Turkish Patent Institute under the Protection of Geographical Indication Registered T.C. Official Gazette, Turkish Patent Institute Presidency (29680 reiterations), 10.04.2016.3355 / 1-1. on the Piraziz apple which is crafted on M9 and MM106 rootstockduring the 2015-2016 years. The phenological, morphological and pomological properties of the apples were investigated. It was observed that full bloom in the grafted trees on the M9 rootstock was between 7-9 June, while full bloomin grafted trees on MM106 rootstock was between 7-10 June. Tree length and tree diameter of grafted trees on M9 and MM106 rootstock were respectively measured as 178,24cm-17,40mm and 211,83cm-21,63mm. According to conclusions of this research;128.10 g fruit weight, 87.02 N pound fruit flesh firmness, 14.33 % soluble solids content (SSC), % 0.89 titratable acidity, 3.32 pH, 13.86 mg/100gVitamin C, 64.2, 43.7 and 81.8 colour value(L*,kroma, hue) of apple tree grafted on M9 rootstock were found.128.1 g fruit weight, 87.71 N pound fruit flesh firmness, 13.33 % soluble solids content (SSC), % 0.81 titratable acidity, 3.24 pH, 15.98 mg/100gVitamin C, 62.1, 43.9 and 82.1colour value(L*,kroma, hue) of apple tree grafted on MM 106 rootstock were found. As a conclusion, It can be stated that the fruit weight and the content of SÇKM of Piraziz apple give higher values at M9 rootstock, while fruit meat hardness, vitamin C and tree characteristics give higher values at MM106.
