Objective: The objective of this study was to reveal the effect of pruning intensity in terms of yield and quality in dried fig cultivation in winter pruning, one of the important techniques in fruit production. Material and Methods: Winter pruning (B3=3 buds/shoot, B5=5 buds/shoot, B7=7 buds/shoots) and two separate control applications (Bk (no pruning) and B0 (no tip taking application)) were performed at five different bud intensities in Sarılop fig varieties. Results: When dried fig fruit was examined as scrap, cracked and normal fruit, normal dried figs were found to be 74.49% for the B7 application. Total dried fruit yield was 11.34 kg/tree with highest B7 application and lowest 6.91 kg/tree with B3 application. According to the quality classification of the normal fruit, B7 has an Extra Grade product of 60.95%, followed by B5 with 55.58%, and the lowest was in Bk with 16.49%. Conclusion: Pruning trees at 7 buds/shoot stage came into prominence in terms of yield and quality. Likwise, all of the other pruning applications were successful in terms of quality as compared to control applications.

Temperature is one of the ecological factors limiting yield and quality in the care of the region where fig will be grown, as in many fruit species. The effective temperature total demand is one of the important parameters in determining the cultivation potential of a fruit species in any region. Temperature values are needed for the establishment of new orchards in the commercially important Bursa Siyahı fig variety. This study was carried out with the aim of determining the effective temperature total demand of Bursa Siyahı fig variety in Aydın conditions between the years 2019-2021. Although the sum of the effective temperature from bud burst to main crop ripening date on years, it was between 1314 oC-days, and the average of three years from bud bloom to leaf fall was 2506.18 oC-days. According to the BBCH scale, the main crop ripening date was 207 ± 2 days and 219 ± 2 days, although it varied between years. The total effective temperature during the harvest period was 1.040,07 oC-days, on average over three years. Optimum climate values should be taken into account in the garden facilities to be established in different regions with the table Bursa Siyahı fig variety, which has a high export value and economic importance.
