Abstract :
This study was conducted to determine adaptation characteristics of nine raspberry varieties such as Heritage, Rubin, Canby, Newburg, Cola, Bursa Dwarf, Holland Dwarf, Summit and Tulamen grown in Oltu ecological conditions during 1999-2000 years. For this aim, phenological characteristics, vegetative growth performance and physicochemical properties of fruits were determined. Among these cultivars, Heritage, Holland Dwarf and Summit yield twice a year, both summer and fall season, whereas the others yield just once a year. The obtained data for each year were analyzed using Randomized Block Design. According to the study results, Newburg, Holland Dwarf and Summit cultivars yielded 313.60, 296.20, 293.70 g per cane respectively and they were determined to be the most productive cultivars. Also, these cultivars had 1.97, 2.66 and 2.07 g average fruit weight and 9.04, 7.77 and 9.92 percent total soluble solid while they had 15.80, 18.50 and 31.95 mg/100 g ascorbic acid content respectively. As a result, it was concluded that Heritage, Holland Dwarf and Summit primocane raspberry cultivars and Newburg floricane raspberry cultivar could be recommended for raspberry breeders in the region
