Abstract :
This study was conducted on 16 walnut genotypes grown from seed to determine some pomological, chemical properties and mineral content in Iğdır province in the years of 2013 and 2014. Fruit weight, kernel weight and kernel ratio of selected walnut genotypes as pomological properties ranged between 10.80-15.77 g, 5.15-7.46 g and 42.87-58.35%, respectivelity. Chemical properites of selected genotypes such as fat, protein, ash and moisture content varied from 50.03 to 64.98%, 10.23 to 22.14%, 0.97 to 3.96% and 3.05 to 4.48%, respectively. Additionally, the mineral contents of these genotypes contained 2.11 N %, 314.69 mg 100g^-1 P, 432.58 mg 100g^-1 K, 288.25 mg 100g^-1 Ca, 225.51 mg 100g^-1 Mg, 2.91 mg 100g^-1 Cu, 2.97 mg 100g^-1 Zn, 16.10 mg 100g^-1 Fe, 4.18 mg 100g^-1 Mn and 11.45 mg 100g^-1 Na. The nitrogen (N) content in promising genotypes was found higher than those of the other mineral contents. This was followed by Potassium (K), Phosphorus (P), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), İron (Fe), Sodium (Na), Manganese (Mn), Zinc (Zn) and Copper (Cu), respectively.
