Abstract

The seeds used in the study were obtained from ornamental apple (Malus floribunda siebold. exVan Houtte) fruits in Hatay Mustafa Kemal University Collection Garden. The width of the seeds was 4.22 mm, length was 6.4 mm and thousand grain weight was 27 g. The seeds were taken to emergence test on 4×25 (replication×seed) as control and stratification (80 days at 4℃). While the control group seeds had 1% emergence rate, this rate increased up to 49% after stratification application. After emergence test, seedlings were transplanted to different sized pots (small-medium-large). Changes in seedling sizes were observed at 15-day intervals. The dimensions of the seedlings grown in small sized pots were measured as 12.59-22.63-38.81-55.91 cm, those grown in medium sized pots were measured as 17.23-31.95-49.33-62.89 cm and those grown in large sized pots were measured as 18.33-33.1-49.67-68.10 cm. The highest values for leaf length, leaf width, stem diameter and leaf number were determined as 9.37-5.3-3.91 cm and 41 pieces in seedlings grown in large sized pots, respectively. It has been observed that stratification treatments encourage emergence rate in ornamental apple and that different pot sizes in seedling cultivation are important for seedling development.

Özet

Çalışmada kullanılan tohumlar Hatay Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesi kampüsünde peyzaj düzenlemelerinde kullanılan Süs elması (Malus floribunda Siebold. exVan Houtte) meyvelerinden elde edilmiştir. Tohumların eni 4.22 mm, boyu 6.4 mm ve bin tane ağırlıklarının 27 g olduğu saptanmıştır. Tohumlar kontrol ve katlama (4℃’de 80 gün) olmak üzere 4×25 (tekerrür×tohum) üzerinden çıkış testine alınmıştır. Kontrol grubu tohumları %1 çıkış oranına sahipken, katlama uygulaması sonrasında bu oran %49’a kadar artış göstermiştir. Çıkış testinin ardından fideler farklı boyutlardaki saksılara (küçük-orta-büyük) fidan gelişimlerinin takip edilmesi için dikilmiştir. 15 gün ara ile fidan boyutlarındaki değişim gözlemlenmiştir. Fidanların boyutları küçük boyutlu saksılarda yetiştirilenlerde 12.6-22.6-38.8-55.9 cm, orta boy saksılarda yetiştirilenlerde 17.2-31.9-49.3-62.9 cm ve büyük boy saksıda yetiştirilenlerde ise 18.3-33.1-49.7-68.1 cm ölçülmüştür. Yaprak boyu, yaprak eni, gövde çapı ve yaprak sayısı değerleri en yüksek, büyük boy saksıda yetiştirilen fidanlarda sırasıyla 9.4cm, 5.3 cm, 3.9 mm ve 41 adet olarak belirlenmiştir. Katlama uygulamalarının süs elmasında çıkış oranını teşvik ettiği ve fidan yetiştiriciliğinde farklı saksı boylarının fidan gelişimi üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
