Determination of Phenological and Pomological Characteristics of Local Pear Cultivars in Konya

This study was carried out on the local pear varieties grown in Konya, between the 2014-2015 in Konya. Within the scope of this work, some phenological and pomological characteristics of Frenk Armudu, Kestel Armudu, Konya Güzeli, Limon Armudu, Mor Armut, Nar Armudu and Şeker Armudu cultivars were ex-amined. 71,14-307,04 g fruit weight, 43,67–80,24 mm fruit width, 55,46–103,66 mm fruit size, 60–300 cm³ fruit volume, 0,54–1,78 g/cm³ fruit intensity, 0,20–9,00 Ib fruit firmness, 10,1–17,9% total soluble solids and 1,13–4,16% titratable acidity ratio were found as research results. According to the harvest dates of the genotypes for 2014 and 2015 years, Şeker Armudu, Konya Güzeli, Nar Armudu, Frenk Armudu and Mor were classified as summer cultivars; while Kestel Ar-mudu and Limon Armudu were considered as autumn genotypes. As a result of this work, it was concluded that each variety of pear has precious unique fea-tures; therefore, it will be useful to be used in breeding programs, as well as to be evaluated as candidate varieties.
