Authors: MEHMET SÜTYEMEZ, SİNAN ETİ

Abstract: In this study, fertizilation biology of 7 cherry varieties (Sarı, Ömerli, Aksehir Napolyonu, 0900 Ziraat, Merton Marvel, Merton Bigarreau and Noble) was investigated between 1992 and 1993 in Pozanti Research Center. For this purpose, fruit set level in free pollination, self and cross pollination; fruit weight, seed weight, fruit flesh/seed weight ratio, TSS, were examinated. For Sari and Noble all varieties were found to be good pollinizers. Fruit set level changed between 1 % and 45 %. Different pollinizers did not have significant effect on the fruit quality criteria.
