dc.description.abstractTurkey is one of the most important producers of apricots in the world. In 2006, Turkey ranks first in the world apricot production yielding approximately 460,000 tonnes (t). Apricots in Turkey are grown either for table use or for drying, although production for drying is much higher. Table apricots are mostly grown in the Mediterranean and Aegean Sea regions. Especially the Mediterranean region has the most suitable ecological conditions for growing table apricot. The first fresh apricot fruits come to market from this region. According to 2006 statistics, 24% of total apricot production of Turkey is from the coastal Mediterranean zone. In Hatay, which is located in the eastern part of the Mediterranean region, apricot production is centred in Iskenderun, Dortyol and Antakya. According to 2006 data, 5,263 tonnes of apricot were produced in Hatay. Out of this, 26.2% was from Iskenderun, 19.8% from Dortyol and 18.4% from Antakya district. Studies to determine production potential and possible problems in the Hatay region revealed that there were significant problems in orchard establishment, cultivar selection, irrigation, fertilization, pruning, cultivation techniques, harvesting and postharvest applications. Future studies to find solutions to these problems should increase apricot production and may, therefore, increase both domestic consumption and export potential.en_US
