The Effect of Phosphorus Applications on Fruit Yield and Some Quality Characteristics of Sweet Chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.)
Öz
Phosphorus is an important plant nutrient for nutrition the plants and maintaining their metabolic activities. Although chestnut is a plant that makes a profit for the farmers in the world and in our country, the data on fertilization is quite limited. This study was carried out in order to determine the effectiveness of phosphorus applications on fruit yield and quality for two years in Sarıaşılama variety (candy type) chestnut orchards of İnegol (Bursa) district Within this scope, phosphorus doses of 0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 g P tree-1 were applied to the soil of trees canopy at a depth of 0-30 cm in April.
According to the results of the study, the highest fruit yield was recorded as 29.0 and 30.0 kg tree-1 in 750 g P tree-1 in both application years respectively. The highest fruit total protein content were determined as 7.5 g 100 g-1 in 500 g P tree-1 dose in the 2013 year. The starch and total sugar content in fruit was recorded as 41.6 and 9.6 g 100 g-1 in 750 g P tree-1 dose in second year. According to the results of the study, the amount of phosphorus fertilizer to be applied to the Sarıaşılama variety of chestnut trees at the age of 20 years were determined as 750 g P tree-1
