Researches on Organic Black Myrtle Growing
Öz
ABSTRACT: Myrtle (Myrtus
communis L.), is a characteristic plant of Mediterranean climate. The
myrtle plant, known as ‘Hambeles’, which has a white and large fruit had been
cultivated in the region for many years. The black myrtle plant on the other hand,
grows wild in forest characterized by smaller fruit sizes. Up to now, there has
not been any registered black myrtle variety in our country. The results of the
observations made in Antalya province showed the presence of some black myrtle
ecotypes with large fruits. The aim of this study was to examine the
characteristics of black myrtle types; fruit yield and shoot growth performance
of this plant grown in two different ecologies of Antalya province. The myrtle
plant has been cultivated in two different ecological areas, such as high and
low lands. The cultured types were budded on the wild plants under high land
conditions by using the patch budding method, whereas under low land
conditions, the plants were grown by using own-rooted cuttings. The number of
shoots emerged from the patches ranged from 3.9 to 7.0. The shoot length
increased up to 208 cm in second growing season, but decreased to 104 cm in the
third year. Fruit yield has increased markedly from the third year and reached
up to 10.6 kg / plant.
