Determination of Self-Compatibility of the 'Arsel' Olive Cultivar Obtained by Hybridization Breeding

This study was aimed to determine the fertilization biology of 'Arsel' olive cultivar obtained by hybridization breeding. For this reason, treatments open pollination, cross and self-pollination were performed for 2 years self-compatibility appropriate pollinators new investigated. Among varieties included as (‘Memecik’, ‘Gemlik’, ‘Uslu’, ‘Ayvalık’ ‘Eğriburun Nizip’), highest fruit set achieved with ‘Memecik’ ‘Gemlik’ varietes in both (2.64%, 1.37% 1.75%, 1.39%). cultivars best pollinator ‘Arsel’ thought. On other hand, considering statistical analyzes productivity index values, variety found be self-incompatible. However, data also indicated that pollination effective increasing set. Therefore, it is thought use orchard establishment would beneficial terms yield. Pollen viability germination tests using 2,3,5 Triphenyl Tetrazolium Chloride (TTC) agar petri (15% sucrose + 1% 100 ppm H3BO3) methods study. The pollen rate observed 2020 there isn’t differences between 2018. Accordingly, determined rates examined years.
