This study was conducted during the 2017 and 2018 growing seasons to determine the yield performances, phenological and pomological characteristics of ten 21-year-old loquat cultivars grown under Mediterranean conditions at Dörtyol, Hatay, Turkey. The flowering of the cultivars was observed in detail and the earliest flowering was found in ‘Akko XIII’ and the latest in ‘Ottaviani’ cultivars. Among the tested cultivars, the highest yield was found in ‘Champion’ (168 kg tree-1, 387.36 g cm-2) whereas the earliest and latest ripening cultivars were found as ‘Akko XIII’ and ‘Lapta M’, respectively. The highest values in terms of fruit weight, seed weight and seed number were obtained from ‘Baduna 5’ variety as 50.60 g, 9.59 g and 4.50 fruits, respectively. In terms of fruit flesh/seed ratio, ‘Hafif Çukurgöbek’ (5.33) had the highest value, while ‘Lapta M’ (3.29) had the lowest. The highest total soluble solids, pH and acidity values were measured in ‘Hafif Çukurgöbek’ (13.70%), ‘Lapta B2’ (3.85) and ‘Lapta M’ (1.15), respectively. The cultivars used in the study were compared using the Weighted-Rankit Method according to their important characteristics and the cultivar ‘Hafif Cukurgöbek’ got the highest score. However, the results showed that most of the cultivars used in the experiment, except ‘Lapta M’, could be grown economically in the Mediterranean climate.

“…In Spain, loquat production is mainly located in three provinces from the eastern coast: Alicante (16,000 t), Granada (9,717 t) and Málaga (1,950 t) (Caballero and Fernández, 2002;MAGRAMA, 2013). Loquat commercial production is mainly based on family farms, with small high-density plots (Caballero and Fernández, 2002;Fichet and Razeto, 2002;Lin, 2007;Abbasi et al, 2011;Celikyurt et al, 2011;Elsabagh, 2011). In Spain, farmers are organized in cooperatives, and production of high commercial quality fruits requires an intensive calendar of cultural practices (Soler et al, 2007).…”

“…have been reported worldwide (Ogawa and English, 1991;Crane and Caldeira, 2013). In addition, in the Mediterranean basin, Chile and USA, spots on leaves and fruits are mainly associated to the fungus Fusicladium eriobotryae (Cavara) Sacc., the causal agent of loquat scab (Saad, 1959;Salerno et al, 1971a;Raabe and Gardner, 1972;Andrade et al, 1984;Sánchez-Torres et al, 2009;Celikyurt et al, 2011). This disease will be described separately because its study is the objective of this thesis.…”

“…is the main disease affecting this crop in the Mediterranean basin (Sánchez-Torres et al, 2009;Gladieux et al, 2010). The fungus was first described in Italy in 1892 (Briosi and Cavara, 1892) and subsequent references indicate that it is an important problem in Italy (Salerno et al, 1971a), Lebanon (Saad, 1959), Spain (Sánchez-Torres et al, 2009), and Turkey (Celikyurt et al, 2011).…”

Scab caused by the fungus Fusicladium eriobotryae is the most serious disease affecting loquat in Spain. Isolation of F. eriobotryae from infected tissue on culture media can be difficult due to its slow growth. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based protocol was developed for F. eriobotryae-specific identification from pure culture or infected loquat tissues. The primer set was designed in the elongation factor 1-α gene (EF1-α), and specificity and sensitivity for single and nested-PCR were validated. The nested-PCR assay resulted in 100% positive detection of F. eriobotryae in naturally and artificially infected tissues. This protocol can be useful for routine diagnosis, disease monitoring programs and epidemiological research.
