Özet
Production of peach and nectarine (Prunus persica) in the East Mediterranean region (Turkey) has increased during recent years, requiring information on the performance of modern cultivars in the region. Thus, a long-term project was conducted to investigate bloom date, harvest date, fruit quality, and yield of various peaches and nectarines under the conditions of the East Mediterranean region during 2002 to 2006. 'Early Red', 'Redhaven', 'Dixired', 'Washington', 'J.H. Hale' peach cultivars and 'Cherokee', 'Independence', 'Nectared 4', 'Nectared 6', 'Nectared 8' nectarine cultivars were used in this study. The analysis of average response over four years indicated that 'Early Red' both bloomed (21 March) and was harvested earlier (6 June) than the other peach cultivars, while 'Cherokee' and 'Independence' were harvested earlier (15 June) than the other nectarine cultivars. Averaged over four years, fruit weight was determined at between 84.5 and 130.1 g; flesh/seed ratio between 8.0 and 15.2; total soluble solids (TSS) between 10.0 and 13.1%; pH between 3.27 and 3.52; titratable acidity between 0.58 and 0.83% for peaches and fruit weight was determined between 36.7 and 83.1 g; flesh/seed ratio between 5.8 and 7.7; TSS between 11.4 and 13.4%; pH between 2.95 and 3.49; titratable acidity between 0.86 and 1.40% for nectarines. Yield values ranged from 8.8 kg/tree ('J.H. Hale') to 20.8 kg/tree ('Dixired') for peaches, and 7.4 kg/tree ('Nectared 4') and 14.3 kg/tree ('Cherokee') for nectarines. Overall, 'Redhaven', 'Early Red' and 'Dixired' peaches, plus 'Cherokee' and 'Independence' nectarines showed satisfactory to good performance in this long-term evaluation.
