Determination of Yield and Fruit Quality of Dihaploid Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima Duch.) Variety Candidates in Konya Province

Abstract

Pumpkin is used in our country as a dessert, jam, marmalade, cake and pickle in human nutrition. It is affected by the ecological conditions of the region where they are grown, their yield and fruit quality vary significantly. In this study, adaptation abilities of Arıcan-97 and Balkız cultivars, which are registered as commercial cultivars in our country and have economic value, and the dihaploid genotypes obtained from the dihaploidization technique, in Konya plain with the widest plain of Central Anatolia region, and their adaptation capabilities tried to be determined. The presented study is the first study feature where the performance of dihaploid pumpkin variety candidates is compared with commercial cultivars. Significant differences were found in yield and fruit quality measurements in cultivars and dihaploid pumpkin variety. The highest yield was obtained from Arıcan 97 (2350 kg da-1) cultivar and DH-6 (2325 kg da-1) dihaploid genotype. The maximum number of fruits per plant was 1.74 and 1.50, respectively, of the same varieties. While the highest TSS and pH are obtained from DH-8 cultivar candidates, the commercial cultivars got higher scores after the taste test. As a result, although Arıcan 97 appears as an important commercial cultivar in Konya Plain, the DH-6 genotype, which is described as a candidate for variety, has yielded important results in terms of yield and fruit quality. In this case, it is predicted that DH-6 genotype can be evaluated as an alternative cultivar to Arıcan 97.
