Perennial Identification of Erciş Grape Variety Clones

38568

Aiming at determining promising clones within the variety “Erciş” with regard to yield, vine quality traits and morphological characteristics, the study was performed on 7860 vine clones in three producer vineyards established in the Erciş central province and its Bayramlı village during 1999 and 2001. In order to determine most promising vine clones, clusters and shoots were counted for three years. At the harvest time, the yield from each clone was determined and observations during the vegetation period were done. In all clones, mean yield per vine, mean flower number per cluster, mean berry dimensions, mean juice production, mean weights of cluster and 100 berries were recorded. Among 7860 vine clones investigated, 40 clones were determined as promising. The promising vine clones had 121.4-150.1 %, higher mean yield per vine, 14.8-22 % higher mean flower number per cluster, 16–24.2 % higher mean cluster weighet, 7.6-14 % higher mean 100 berries weighet, 8.5-13.3 % higher berry width, 7.5-12.2 % higher berry length, 16.5–21.1 % higher berry juice production than other clones.
