This study was carried out on some domestic and foreign late blooming varieties and their genotypes obtained as a result of hybridization in the almond collection parcel of Harran University Faculty of Agriculture in Sanliurfa/Turkiye in the summer period of 2020. In the research, 5 different cultivars and 6 hybrids were examined in the orchard. In the study, 198 leaves were taken from 3 trees of each variety and 9 of each tree from 2 directions. It was planned and carried out according to the split plots experimental design in random blocks. North and South directions were taken into account when taking leaf samples. According to the findings, when the leaf characteristics were examined in general, the highest values in terms of leaf width, leaf length, petiole length and leaf area were found in 'Genotype-7' hybrids among cultivars and hybrids. As a result of stoma analysis on the lower surface of the leaves, the highest overall average (196.47 units mm-²) was determined in Genotype-3, while the lowest (127.10 units/mm²) was found in 'Ferragnes' variety. As a result of the analysis, when all the average values were taken into account, it was determined that the leaf area was 16.74 cm², the average stomata density was 153.51/mm² and the leaf area was 256975.74/leaf stomata. It is thought that the study will be descriptive for almond varieties and hybrids grown in the same ecology. This study was carried out in order to determine the effects of the adaptation of the almond varieties that are intensively grown in the Southeastern Anatolia Region and that bloom late, and some hybrids that are likely to be grown in the region in the future, on the morphological characteristics.

In this study, it was aimed to determine the potential of the cultivars by comparing the data obtained as a result of adaptation experiments conducted on some almond cultivars in Turkey and some countries. In the study were compared planting rows, yield amounts by tree age and some fruit characteristics in experiments conducted on Ferragnes, Ferraduel, Lauranne, Tuono, Nonpareil, Texas and Guara cultivars. In conclusion of the study, it was concluded in Turkey conditions that Ferragnes, Ferraduel, Lauranne, Nonpareil and Guara cultivars were compatible with, provides partial compliance of Texas cultivar however Tuono cultivar was not compatible. It was determined that the highest yield in Ferragnes and Lauranne cultivars was obtained from the Lleida region of Spain, where cultivation was carried out on GF 677 rootstocks with 6 × 6 m planting row and 250 m3 da-1 under deficit irrigation conditions. In the studies carried out on the performances of almond cultivars in Turkey, it was concluded better performed that Ferragnes and Ferraduel in Kahramanmaraş, Guara and Nonpareil in Gaziantep, and Texas in Manisa. As a result of the study, it was determined that Guara, Nonpareil and Lauranne cultivars can be grown as an alternative to Ferragnes and Ferraduel cultivars preferred in almond cultivation in Turkey.

In this study made during the years 2006 and 2007, 50 almond types were labelled in Dicle district of Diyarbakir province. No studies have been done about almond trees in Dicle district up to now. Therefore, this study is very significant with respect to be the first study on the almond types in this area. Flowering dates and the fruit properties of these types were determined. According to our observations and the evaluations, the types were subjected to weighted ranked method depend on the specific selection criteria. As a result of the work, 6 superior almond types which had the higher scores (DIC--7, DIC--18, DIC--24, DIC--32, DIC--39 and DIC--46) were selected. Kernel ratio, fruit weight and kernel weight of the selected types changed between 55.36--32.18%, 2.42-1.39 g and 1.05-0.39 g, respectively. In addition, it was determined that total points according to the flowering and the quality of the selected types changed between 728-815 and 726-782. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study was carried out to determine almond genotypes which had high performances in Ergani distinct of Diyarbakir province during the years 2005 and 2006. At first, 80 almond genotypes were labelled. According to the observation and the evaluation made on these types, they were subjected to the weighted ranked method depend on the specific selection criteria. As a result of work, 7 superior almond genotypes which had the higher performance (ER--3, ER--12, ER--20, ER--33, ER--47, ER--54 and ER--71) were selected. It was determinated that kernel weight, kernel length, kernel width, kernel thickness, kernel ratio, fruit weight, fruit length, fruit width and fruit thickness of the selected genotypes changed from 0.66 to 1.33g, from16.15 to 22.70 mm, from 8.71 to 11.70 mm, from 7.41 to 10.82 mm, from 22.93 to 56.20%, from 1.99 to 3.59 g, from 23.75 to 34.57mm, from 16.00 to 20.51 mm and from 12.64 to 15.23 mm, respectively. Double kernel ratio and twin kernel ratio in the selected genotypes weren't found. Sound kernel ratio in all types were found as 100 %. Total point was found to be the lowest at 712 and the highest at 799 score according to the flowering. Also, the total point was found to be the lowest at 690 and highest at 776 score according to the quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
