Study was conducted in five locations as the important areas for
pomegranate cultivation and production in Yemen, during the period (15/1–
15/8/2004). Eight accessions of local pomegranate were used in this study:
Taefi, Orkobi, Mellies–Hada, Khaz
emy, Sommaty, Kodary, Chiny and Mellies–
Raudha in addition to the wild pomegranate type (Socotria). The
morphological characters were determined for leaves, flowers,fruits and seeds.
The chemical analysis for juice was also assessed. Maximum rate for fruit
weight was 527.3 gm for Kodary accession, whereas fruit Juic varied between
49.5–63.2%, while peel / fruit was varied between15% in Taefi and 35.9 % in
Chiny, whereas the peel thickness varied between 1.5–4.2 mm. The Scotria was
found to be evergreen, and flowers around the year. Kazemy accession gave
higher fruits number/tree with rate 246.7. The greatest rate of T.S.S and
Vitamin C were 18.57% and 11.12 mg respectively for Chiny accession, and the
highest content of organic acids in these accessions was 0.54 % for Taefi.
The study was excuted in Latakia governorate during the period (2014-2015). In this
study, it has been used three cultivars of Eriobotrya japonica which were Seedawi,
Morocan and Municipal). Onfigurable characterization, the average fruit weight ca
lculation
and the average number of seeds have been done of the fruit. Some chemical analysis were
also conducted of the juice. The data has been statistical analyzed and the results showed
that the earliest cultivar in maturity was Municipal. The highest rate of average fruit s
weight was (53.40g) in Morocan cultivar. And the fruits shapes were between the oval
shape in the Morocan and Seedawi cultivar, and circular shape in the Municipal cultivar.
The Morocan and Seedawi cultivars have the supremacy in production quantity(34.67-34
kg/tree) respectively at the Municipal. The highest proportion was in vitamin C, the acidity
and sugars were (0.977,1.073,15.20 %) respectively in municipal cultivar.
