Impacts of different natural fertilization techniques that was implemented on organic agriculture system on fruit quality criterions of (Ficus carica L. Cv. Sarilop) dried fig cultivar

Abstract

Dried fig is second range (14,39%) as quantity and third range as value (15,89%) in Turkey total organic agricultural crops exports. Main aim of the project was determined that impacts on fruit quality parameters of 'Sarilop' dried fig variety of applied different natural fertilization technics on organic agriculture system. That research was carried out in a farmer orchard which consisted of Sarilop dried fig variety, located in Isafakilar village, Incirliova, Aydin, during 2002-2005 years. This experiment was designed in respect of randomized blocks with four replications and each replication was comprised of one tree. Totally six applications are on the carpet; those are includes control, vetch, natural vegetation, 20, 40 and 60 kg farmyard manure applications, respectively. The data which were obtained from the study was evaluated to analysis of variance using SPSS packet program. The means were separated by LSD multiple comparison test at 0.01 and 0.05. In that research, rate of the cull figs (%) (the worst quality dried fig fruit), cracking fruit rate (%), sunscalded (sunburn damage) rate (%), average fruit weight (g), total soluble solids content (TSS) (%), ostiole width (mm), skin colour parameters were investigated, respectively. It has been determined that impacts of the applications on some important properties on fig involved cracking fruit and sunscalded rate, average fruit weight, ostiole width.
