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 Ereğlidistrict of Konya province between 2017- 2018. Within the scope of this work,some phenological and pomological characteristics of Hosiu, Kosiu, Hakkoand 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-2fruitfirmness, 11.83- 16.90 % total soluble solids and 1.02- 5.66 % titratable acidityratio were found as research results. As a result of this work on Asian Pearcultivars, in 2017, swollen bud term was carried out as 02-04 April, beginningof flowering 18- 19 April, full bloom 23-25 April, harvest date 05-09 Augustand the period from blooming to harvest date is determined between 133- 137days. For 2018, swollen bud term was observed on 05- 07 March, beginning offlowering was on 23- 27 March, the full bloom was on 26- 29 March, harvestdate 14- 16 August and the period from blooming to harvest date is determinedbetween 141- 143 days. As a result of this study, four Asian Pear cultivars'phenological and pomological characteristics were determined in Ereğli district.
