Twenty apple varieties were evaluated in the germ plasm of the Agricultural
Scientific Research Center in Swaida for Morphological traits, bud honological
stages, days after full bloom, storability which were ranged between 2.5 – 8
months, and bes
t susceptibility (e.g. wooly aphid and powdery mildew), all
studied varieties showed low susceptibility to wooly aphid, while Jersy Mac
revealed high susceptibility to powdery mildew compared with the other
varieties. The yield of all varieties was studied, so, they divided into: high yield
varieties such Stark Earliest, Royal Gala and Golden 972; Good yield varieties
"Golden Delicious, Starking Delicious, and Granny Smith etc."; and moderate
yield varieties" Red Spur Delicious and Rome Beauty". Chemical analysis
(Total soluble solids and total sugars) were achieved for all studied apple
varieties. Apple Varieties were divided into five groups depending on Days
After Full Bloom (DAFB). The present investigation indicted the high
quantitative and qualitative traits of studied varieties which candidate for
credence and distribute them in suitable environmental areas in Syria.
The study has been done in many farms which are producing sweet
cherry in Lattakia during the season (2014-2015).
This research focuses on study timing of phonological stages of
sweet cherry in two regions (sluonfa , aen alhaeat) in Lattakia ciety
and studies the effect of some climatological conditions like
temperature and rain on this plant .
The result of this study revealed clear variation in the climatological
conditions between the two regions under study.
T his variation in climatological conditions led to variation in the
phonological stages of sweet cherry in two regions under study.
