EVALUATION OF SOME NEWLY PEACH CULTIVARS ( Prunus persica L. ) GROWN IN EGYPT UNDER DESERT CONDITIONS
HEND HUSSEIN KHALIFA HUSSEIN;
Abstract
The present investigation aimed to stud y vegetative, flowering and fruit characteristics in order to eva luate a nd determine perfom1ance of four newl y peach cultivars (Hermosillo•& Desert
Pearl **& Bokkeveld**& De Wet••) grown
.m Egypt under desert
conditions. This study was conducted during two successive seasons
2007 and 2008 on four years old peach trees budded on Nemaguard rootstock, of uniform growth in sandy soil in a private orchard at EI Khatatba region, Menofia Governorate, Egypt.
The obtained results and observations showed that Desert Pearl
was the shortest flowering duration cultivar and had the highest significant percentage of vegetati ve buds. While, the longest duration of flowering was obtained with Bokkeveld culti var. Highest significant percentages of fruit set were observed from De Wet and Hermosillo. De Wet was harvested earl y at May 22th, 6th duri ng both seasons. In terms of yield per tree Hermosillo showed significantly higher va lues for the studies fruit characteristics compared to other culti vars. While, the highest average fruit sha pe index (LID) was obtained from Bokkeveld cultivar. Flesh color was yellow for a ll cultivars under study except Desert Pearl whi ch had Li ght yellow Flesh.
Mea nw hne, the eva luations considered Hermosillo, Desett Pearl, Bokkeveld and De Wet cultivars noticeabl y found as suita ble cultivars for growing in Egypt. Moreover, Hermosill o considered to be promising under Egypti an conditions due to high yield and De Wet m ay be contribute to increased export peach culti vars as it was the earliest to reach harvest stage.
