29035

In this study, the effect of Gisel A®5 (Prunus cerasus x P. canescens), GiselA®6 (P. cerasus x P. canescens), and P. mahaleb L.seedling (control) rootstocks on vegetative growth, yield, phenological, pomological and morphological characteristics of Sweet Cherry 0900 cultivar was investigated. Compared to GiselA®5 with GiselA®6, and P. mahaleb, reduced significantly tree growth. Average of total tree volume of GiselA®5 was small smaller than GiselA®6 and Prunus mahaleb L., respectively 57,70% and 26,03 %. Trunk cross-sectional area of sweet cherry 0900 cv at the end of the 4 rd year was 29,31 cm2/tree, 48,99 cm2/tree and 30,47 cm2/tree on grafted GiselA®5, GiselA® 6 and P. mahaleb L seedling rootstock respectively. The soluble solid were not affected by rootstocks. The highest fruit diameter (24,64 mm) and fruit weight (7,95 gr) was determined in 0900 Ziraat/GiselA® 5 combinations. The trees that are grafted on Gisel A® 5 collapsed down.
