This research was carried out during two seasons 2014 – 2015 to study effect of seed
coats on germination of endocarp, seed and embryos of two wild genotypes (M1, M2) of
Mahaleb rootstock (Prunus mahaleb L.) prevailing in Alhaffa area, Lattakia. Th
e
experiments were done at Lattakia Scientific Agricultural Research center and Faculty of
Agriculture at Tishreen University.
The Results of the seeds planted on agar 0.7% in dark at 15 C° showed that no
germination of the M1 endocarp VS late and low germination at 10% for the M2 endocarp
starting after 98 days. As for seeds, the germination was (66.66%) and (53.33%) for M1
and M2, respectively. Removal of the woody coat (endocarp) and seed coat makes the
germination faster. the embryos germination was (80%) and (60%) for M1 and M2,
respectively.
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.
The cherry fruit is classified to be after the apple fruit according to its
economic importance and the cherry tree is firstly considered economically
important due to its continuous and plentiful bearing if it’s provided with all
requirements and
techniques for the suitable agriculture and its needs from
irritation and fertilizer are medium. The aim of the research was to study the
costs of production cherry with a comparison between some economic
indicators for each of the cherry rainfed and irrigated cherry. Results showed
that the cost of one hectare from irrigated cherry was higher by about 3 times
than the cost of one hectare of rainfed due to the raise in the cost of irrigation.
The study also showed that the profits of the irrigated profits exceeded that of
the rainfed cherry by about 2 times since the productivity of the irrigated
hectare is two folds more than the productivity of the rainfed hectare. It was
also shown that the effect of variable time on the space was positive, changes in
the spaces resulting from the effect of time was 95%, while the effect of time on
both the production and the yield was negative. The relationship between time
and all of the production and yields was weak (8%).
