Özet
This study was carried out to determine the
correlation between fruit size and picking scar
diameter of organically grown northern highbush
blueberry cultivars. In the experiment, eight
northern highbush blueberry cultivars (Toro,
Brigitta, Darrow, Patriot, Bluecrop, Bluegold, Bluejay, and Chandler) (Vaccinium corymbosum L.), have five
years old plants that grow in Trabzon conditions,
were used. The differences in the fruit size and the
picking scar diameter among the cultivars and the
annual differences within each cultivar were studied.
Berry width varied between 14.22 - 20.43 mm and
fruit weight varied between 1.76 - 4.22 g. While
Chandler (2.86 - 3.14 mm) had the biggest scar size,
Patriot and Brigitta (2.14 - 2.21 mm) had the
smallest scar size. Also, it was determined that
picking scar size correlates with fruit width and
weight for the harvest year. However, the relationship
between the fruit width and the scar size of eight
cultivars is significantly positive.
