It’s known that the early ripening Satsuma mandarins are affected by the ecology in terms of fruit quality. The production patterns of citrus fruits should be spreaded throughtout the year in order to provide fresh fruits to several markets. Such a pattern of production will prevent the accumulation of riping period in a certain time resulting higher prices and increase the chance to compete with other exporter countries. In this study, fruit quality traits of Dobashi Beni, Satsuma Silverhill 22-9 and Fallglo which is a hybrid obtained by hybridization of Bower ve Temple cultivars were determined under Adana ecological conditions. In addition, ripinig period of these cultivars has been determined by sampling and analyzing fruits in October, November and December. The optimum harvest date of Dobashi Beni and Satsuma Silverhill 22-9 cultivars were determined as 15th October in Adana Ecological conditons resulting as these cultivars can be used as alternative early ripining cultivars in Cukurova Region. On the other hand, the optimum harvest time of Fallglo cultivar was determined as the end of December so that this cultivar has to be considered as a mid-late ripining cultivar in Adana Ecological Conditions UR - https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/tabad/issue//385529 L1 - https://dergipark.org.tr/en/download/article-file/413307 ER -
