Özet
In most countries, large-scale sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) production usually occurs in small climatically suitable regions. There are large areas in Turkey that are suitable for sweet cherry production, such as Hatay, which is located in the eastern part of the Mediterranean region with production centered in Belen and Iskenderun. According to 2004 data, 530 t of sweet cherries were produced in Hatay. Of this, 59% was from Belen and 36% from Iskenderun. Studies to determine production potential and possible problems in the Hatay region revealed that the origins of the sweet cherries grown in the region are unknown, and an important cultivar mixture was observed as well. Moreover, significant problems were determined for orchard establishment, cultivar selection, irrigation, fertilization, pruning, cultivation techniques, harvesting and postharvest applications. Future studies to find solutions to these problems should increase sweet cherry production and may, therefore, increase both domestic consumption and export potential.
