| Summary: | In this study,
morphological and pomological characteristics of Salakhani, local variety of
Iraq and Zivzik (Punica granatum L.),
local variety of Siirt, were compared. Salakhani variety, which is one of the
well-known pomegranate cultivars in Halabja region, has been cultivated for
centuries in this region, North of Iraq. Zivzik variety is considered to be one
of the important local varieties in Siirt province in the South East of Turkey.
Salakhani variety was collected from their natural area in Halabja and Zivzik
variety was collected from Zivzik Village in Şirvan. This is the first study
comparing both varieties in point of pomological and morphological features.
Our study has shown that two varieties are similiar on account of some features
on the other hand are also different with regard to some properties. In
addition to that the study showed Salakhani has more bigger fruit size and with
soft seed than Zivzik pomegranate; conversely, Zivzik cv. has also very juicy
fruit and high quality of fruit juice compare with Salakhani. This study has
shown the superior characteristics of these two varieties can be the subject of
different breeding studies in developing new pomegranate varieties. |
