Title Of Article :
Some Physical and Chemical Characteristics of Promising Walnuts (Juglans regia L.) Genotypes Selected From Tavas (Denizli)
Abstract :
In this study conducted in Tavas district of Denizli province during 2006 and 2008 years, the native walnut populations of the district was investigated. In the native populations, a hundred of seedling trees of walnut were marked, nine genotypes were selected for fruit characteristics. Selections had a range of 7.30-12.72 g for nut weight, 3.44-6.30 g for kernel weight, 42.22-56.60% for kernel percentage, 1.26-2.06 mm for shell thickness, 62.02- 71.56% for oil content and 11.31-17.69% for protein content. Their kernels (in 100g dried kernel) average contained macro and micro elements levels; % 2.33 N, 254.0 mg P, 362.9 mg K, 100.8 mg Mg, 126.4 mg Ca, 160.9 mg S, 1.97 mg Na, 2.46 mg Fe, 2.50 mg Mn, 2.21 mg Zn and 1.11 mg Cu.
