Morpho-chemical characterization of loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) genotypes

Abstract

Morphological and chemical characterization of loquat genotypes to select superior genotypes was carried out between 2018-2021 in the coastal region of Black Sea. In the study, characterization of 70 genotypes with 20 g and above fruit weight of loquat which are grown as chance seedlings in the mentioned region were done. We found soluble solide contents between 6.95-18.30%, acidity 0.22-0.82%,
