Effects of Different Pollinators on Fruit Set and Quality Attributes of Texas Almond (Prunus dulcis L.) Cultivar

There is a positive relationship between pollination and fruit yield of almonds. Since self-incompatibility major problem in almond cultivars, foreign pollinators are generally used almonds to get high quality. This study was conducted investigate the effects different (inbreed hybrid combinations) on set pomological characteristics Texas cultivar 2018 - 2019 growing seasons. Fruit ratios varied 3.6% (Texas × A3) 5.2% A4) first year 8.0% 13.2% A2) second year. As average two years, lowest length (32.03 ± 2.45 mm) observed A4 combination greatest (35.31 3.05 A1 combination, whereas width values 19.37 2.43 mm 23.79 1.33 mm. Although influenced mass values, value (5.73 0.74 g) A3 combination. It concluded based present findings that use A2 as pollinator orchards established with may have set.
