Protected cultivation of sweet cherry in container in coastal region of Antalya
Abstract
Sweet cherry production is important for Turkish growers and it is mostly common in temperate zone of Turkey. Recently, sweet cherry was started to grown in the coastal areas of Turkey due to its high income of earliness. The most important problem in the southern region is low chilling period. Thus, the cultivars that require low chilling period are preferred. The aim of this research was to induce earliness in sweet cherry cultivars such as 0900 Ziraat, Early Burlat and Regina grown in containers in the plastic greenhouse under the Antalya ecological conditions.With the purpose of increase fruit set, Starks Gold and Merton Premier cherries were selected as pollen parents. The research was conducted in a plastic greenhouse in the Research and Experimental Station of Akdeniz University in between 2012 and 2013. The plants were placed in 30 L black plastic containers filled with peat- manure mixture (60%-40%). From the second year, the plants were stored at 5 Co for 30 days in the storage house in order to meet the chilling requirements before transferring the plastic greenhouse. The plants were transferred into the greenhouse, and were kept in there until harvest was completed. Soon after, the plants were transferred to the outside. During the vegetation period, some phenological and pomological parameters were determined. Among the sweet cherry cultivars, while Regina was the best in terms of the fruit set and yield per plant, 0900 Ziraat had the highest acidity. According to the results, sweet cherry production in the plastic greenhouse was not found feasible in the coastal region of Antalya.
