Determination of Change in Yield and Quality Properties of Canned Artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) Production from Seed
Abstract
Objective: In this study, it is aimed to determine the change in yield and head quality properties of canned artichoke plants obtained from seed-produced seedlings for 5 years.
Material and Methods: Emerald F1 artichoke variety (heart artichoke) was used in the study. The study was conducted in the field of research in the E. U. Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Horticulture. The research was contucted as randomized complete desing with three replicates. Seedlings were transplanted 100*100 cm row in distance at the begining of August which this type of transplanting is proper for drip irrigation system. In the artichoke, which is a perennial vegetable type, the change in yield and quality characteristics has been examined during 5 production periods.
Results: As a result of the study, the highest number of heads (216.660 units/ha) and head yield (11.040 kg/ha) were obtained from second production year. On the other hand, the lowest number of heads (36.000 units/ha) and head yield (1600 kg/ha) were obtained from first production season. The highest early yield (32 piece/heads) and early yield (26.68 kg/heads) were determined in the fourth production year. Similarly, the highest values in terms of average head weight (45.37 g), head diameter (4.62 cm), head height (5.29 cm) and peeled head weight (28.45 g) were obtained from the fourth production year. The lowest values in terms of these features were determined in the fifth production season.
Conclusion: As a result, it was revealed that the maximum head yield was reached in the 2nd production season, and the head yield decreased proportionally after the second year. It was determined that the properties in the first 3 years of production are compatible with the main features suitable for canning processing.
