Phenological and Pomological Characteristics of Some Asian Pear Cultivars in Ereğli-Konya

This study was carried out on the four Asian pear varieties grown in Eregli district of Konya province between 2017-2018. Within the scope of this work, some phenological and pomological characteristics of Hosiu, Kosiu, Hakko and Shinseiki cultivars were examined. 122,00 -206,00 g fruit weight, 58,97-72,78 mm fruit width, 47,85-70,01 mm fruit size, 2.80-5,48 kg cm -2 fruit firmness, 11,83-16,90 % total soluble solids and 1.02-5.66 % titratable acidity ratio were found as research results. As a result of this work on Asian Pear cultivars, in 2017, swollen bud term was carried out as 02-04 April, beginning of flowering 18-19 April, full bloom 23-25 April, harvest date 05-09 August and the period from blooming to harvest date is determined between 133-137 days. For 2018, swollen bud term was observed on 05-07 March, beginning of flowering was on 23-27 March, the full bloom was on 26-29 March, harvest date 14-16 August and the period from blooming to harvest date is determined between 141-143 days. As a result of this study, four Asian Pear cultivars' phenological and pomological characteristics were determined in Eregli district. The obtained result is thought to be important for regional-based and country-based for fruit growing.
