Özet
Water shortage studies aiming to provide enough fruit yield and quality by using less water in fruit culture is getting important day by day because of global water scarcity and its negative environmental effects. Hence, this experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of different irrigation intervals and amount treatments on yield and fruit quality of young apricot trees (Prunus armeniaca L. cv Ninfa) during the 2008 and 2009 growing seasons under Mediterranean conditions. Seven, fourteen and twenty-one days irrigation intervals and five irrigation water amounts based on reduction coefficients (Kcp) of class A pan evaporation (0.0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00) were examined. Pomological variables, such as fruit and seed weights, fruit dimension, flesh firmness, flesh/seed ratio, total soluble solids (TSS), pH and acidity (%), were studied. The interaction between irrigation intervals and the irrigation water amount treatments had significant effects on cumulative yield of the trees. While irrigation water amount had significant effects on all pomological characteristics of fruits, irrigation intervals affected only few fruit quality properties such as fruit weight, flesh firmness, flesh/seed ratio, pH and acidity.
