This study was carried out to determine the performance of 6
different day-neutral varieties (Albion, Monterey, Portola, Sweet
Ann, Kabarla and San Andreas) and 1 local genotype in open field in
the ecological conditions of Yahyalı (Kayseri) in the 2021-2022
growing season. In the research, the first flowering date of the
varieties was 19 March (Local genotype) and 27 March (Portola), the
harvest start date was 19 May (Kabarla) and 25 May (Albion), the
end of harvest date was August 17 (Local genotype) and 20
September (San Andreas). The harvest period was determined
between 87 days (Local genotype) and 122 days (Kabarla). In the
experiment, the highest yield was determined in Albion variety with
591.12 g/plant, the highest fruit weight and fruit firmness were
determined in Sweet Ann variety with 11.74 g and 0.75 kg-force,
respectively. It was determined that the total soluble solid (TSS)
content amount in the cultivars varied between 6.16% (Sweet Ann) -
13.16 (Native genotype), titratable acid content ranged between
0.48% (Sweet Ann) - 0.77 (San Andreas), pH value varied between
3.23 (San Andreas) - 4.03 (Native genotype). While the highest
lightness (L) fruits were obtained from Portola variety (31.09) in the
experiment, the color intensity (chroma) varied between 31.22
(Albion) and 40.75 (Portola), the color angle value (hº) ranged
between 38.61 (Albion) and 50.34 (Monterey and Portola). As a
result, in Yahyalı (Kayseri) ecological conditions, in terms of yield
and fruit quality characteristics such as fruit weight, color, firmness
and TSS amount, Albion variety was found to be suitable, and then
Sweet Ann and Kabarla varieties were important.
