Özet
Çanakkale is one of the main sweet cherry production regions in Turkey. Sweet cherries produced in Umurbey, Lapseki and Çardak are used mostly for export due to very high fruit quality. In recent years, new orchards have been established in Bayramiç and Ezine counties in Çanakkale province. In this study, leaf analyses and some soil tests were performed to evaluate nutrient contents (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo and Zn) of '0900 Ziraat' sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) grafted on three rootstocks: 'Mazzard' (P. avium), 'Mahaleb' (P. mahaleb L.) and 'Gisela 6' (P. cerasus L. × P. canescens L.). Leaf and soil samples were collected in 21 orchards throughout the main production areas. Moreover, a Geographical Information System (GIS) was used to identify locations and their attributes, particularly soil characteristics and referenced as maps. Chemical analyses revealed differences in macro- and micro-nutrient concentrations in leaves among the orchards sampled. Rootstock type and soil characteristics influenced the leaf concentrations of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, B, Fe and Zn. The highest influence of rootstock and soil type was observed with respect to N, P, K, Mg, Zn and Fe. Considering that sweet cherry production areas in Çanakkale have variations in soils, rootstock type and orchard management, further studies are needed to assist cherry growers in management of their orchards to ensure that trees and fruits are balanced nutritionally.
