THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN LEAF AREA AND OTHER PARAMETERS IN LOQUAT

Abstract

The study about the relationships between leaf area of loquat and cluster length, cluster weight, fruit number per cluster, leaf length, leaf width, leaf stalk length, leaf stalk thickness, leaf area, fruit weight, fruit size, fruit stalk length, fruit stalk thickness, fruit volume, calyx basin width, calyx basin depth, fresh/seed ratio, seed number, seed weight, seed length, seed width, total soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity, leaf ash was made. A relationship was determined between leaf areas with some parameters. As a result of the research, there was a large negative correlation found between leaf area and fruit number per cluster, seed number, seed weight, seed width; a negative correlation found between leaf area and fruit weight, acids, and a large positive correlation found between leaf area and leaf stalk length. The aim of the study is to determine the relationships between leaf area and others parameters and this study can offer an insight to the future improvement researches in regard to Loquat in the Black Sea.
