Abstract
Strawberry is ranked as the first within berry fruit group in terms of production and consumption values. With the increase in consumer’s demands, strawberry production increases day by day due to the fact that strawberry has many developed commercial cultivars and adaptation to various climate conditions. It is necessary to evaluate the yield and quality under various climate and soil conditions of many developed strawberry cultivars and recommend them to producers as a result of these studies. This study was conducted to investigate yield characteristics and production opportunities of four commercial strawberry cultivars (Albion, Sweet Charlie, San Andreas, and Monterey) grown in Merzifon district of Amasya city. In the study, Monterey cultivar had the highest yield with an average of 307.8 g plant-1, followed by Albion cultivar (283.7 g plant-1), San Andreas cultivar (243.7 g plant-1), and Sweet Charlie cultivar (64.41 g plant-1). Monterey cultivar gave the highest result with the average of 26.08 in fruit number per plant. In fruit index, Albion cultivar had the largest fruits (12.8 g berry-1), whereas, the cultivar having the smallest fruits was Sweet Charlie (7.39 g berry -1). Even though no statistically significant difference was observed between the examined cultivars in terms of soluble solid content, Monterey cultivar had the highest soluble solid (9.81 %). It was concluded in the present study that strawberry production could be realized and especially Albion, Monterey and San Andreas strawberry cultivars could be evaluated as an alternative product for locals in Merzifon district that have suitable conditions for plant production in terms of climate and soil conditions.
