Özet
In this study, different trunk shapes and distance of shoots to trunk in kiwifruit vine on fruit characteristics were determined. The effects of distance of shoots to the trunk on fruit quality parameters of kiwifruit vine have different trunk shape (upright and unshaped) were investigated in two different commercial kiwifruit orchards (well-cared and uncared). Three branches for each kiwifruit vine were selected in terms of distance of branches to trunk (near to trunk: ~20 cm (NT), medium distance to trunk: ~40 cm (MT) and far to trunk: ~60 cm (FT)). It depends on the study years fruit number (10.00-48.80), fruit diameter (5.07-6.12 cm), fruit length (6.41-7.70 cm), fruit weight (91.73-142.06 g), fruit flesh firmness (5.20-7.55 kg), TSS amount in harvest maturity (14.35-16.37%), TSS amount in ripening (6.80-12.00%), TA in harvest maturity (1.24-1.85%) and TA in ripening varied. As a result, trunk shape (upright and unshaped) was found to affect fruit quality parameters in order that upright trunk shape should be formed for fruit quality and convenience in cultural applications.
