Yield and Quality Attributes of Sultani Seedless Grapes Types at Harvest

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to determine the yield and quality attributes of 25 Sultani Çekirdeksiz grape types that are prominent in terms of certain characteristics. For this purpose, data were collected during the harvest for 2 years in the grape types of the Manisa Vineyard Research Institute and Sultani Çekirdeksiz types that were grown under the same conditions. As a result; Number of clusters per grapevine varied between 16.0-52.5; cluster weights varied between 337.5- 587.5 g; yields varied between 8.9-22.6 kg. Berry weights varied between 139-306 g and TTS values varied between 17.9- 22.4%. It is thought that the differences in quality attributes of Sultani Çekirdeksiz grape types were mostly resulted from differences in genetics. Vegetatively propagated plants (such as grapes) may have mutations for various reasons. This situation should always be taken into consideration.
