“…Nakasone and Paul [9] reported that environmental factors such as light, wind, edaphic soil characteristics, temperature, soil relative humidity, and biotic factors such as mycorrhizal fungi and genotype significantly affect the productivity and physiology of papaya [11]. Besides environmental factors, fruit chemical features are also affected by location and season [5,12,13], and maturity stage [14]. Temperatures below 20°C have a very negative effect, causing among other problems, carpelloidy, sex changes, reduced pollen viability, and low sugar content of the fruit.…”

Growth, yield and fruit quality of three papaya cultivars grown under protected cultivation.Abstract -Introduction. Papaya is grown mainly under tropical conditions due to its requirement of high temperatures year-round. With modern greenhouse technology and production systems, the Mediterranean countries are now able to produce many tropical crops such as banana and papaya. Such technology has also increased the yield and improved fruit quality in comparison with open field production systems. Materials and methods. Our study was conducted in an unheated greenhouse in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. Three papaya cultivars were evaluated for their physical and physicochemical properties and yield.Results. There were no significant differences in chemical properties related to fruit cultivars. Conversely, certain features of the development cycle of these three cultivars varied: BH-65 flowered at only 65.4 cm compared with SS-45 (133.8 cm) and Sel-42 (135.1 cm). Fruit set was improved for Sel-42 (63.7 fruits) compared with SS-45 (49.3 fruits) and BH-65 (31.3 fruits). The corresponding yields for Sel-42, SS-45 and BH-65 were (28.3, 21.3 and 7.8) kg per plant, respectively. The Sel-42 cultivar presented the largest fruits (weight, 460.0 g; width, 11.7 cm; length, 16.7 cm), closely followed by those of SS-45 (433.3 g, 11.3 cm and 15.3 cm, respectively). In contrast, the cultivar BH-65 produced the smallest fruits (weight, 250.0 g; width, 9.7 cm; length, 13.3 cm). The physical and chemical characteristics did not vary among the cultivars. Conclusion. Our results allow us to recommend the cultivars Sel-42 and SS-45 for greenhouse cultivation under a Mediterranean climate in Turkey.

Le papayer est principalement cultivé en conditions tropicales en raison de ses besoins en températures élevées toute l'année. Grâce à la technologie à effet de serre et aux systèmes modernes de production, les pays méditerranéens sont maintenant capables de produire de nombreuses cultures tropicales telles que bananiers et papayers. Une telle technologie a aussi augmenté le rendement et amélioré la qualité des fruits par rapport au système de production à l'air libre. Matériel et méthodes. Notre étude a été menée dans une serre non chauffée, en conditions méditerranéennes de Turquie. Trois cultivars de papaye (SS-45, BH-65, et Sel-42) ont été éva-lués pour leurs caractéristiques physiques et physico-chimiques et leurs rendements. Résultats. Il n'y a eu aucune différence significative des propriétés chimiques des fruits liée aux cultivars. A l'inverse, certaines caractéristiques du cycle de développement de ces trois cultivars ont varié ; BH-65 a fleuri à seulement 65,4 cm de hauteur par rapport à SS-45 (133,8 cm) et Sel-42 (135,1 cm) ; La nouaison a été améliorée pour Sel-42 (63,7 fruits) par rapport à SS-45 (4...

“…The higher levels of soluble solids and titratable acidity can be attributed to the greater bunchfilling time in winter, which was 45 days longer than in summer, or they may be related to the induction of tolerance to low temperature (Tables 1 and 2). Bugaud et al (2009) also observed that bananas harvested during the hot, rainy season had the lowest levels of total soluble solids, while bananas harvested during the cool, dry season had the highest content of total soluble solids in the fruit pulp. The lower levels of luminosity, chromaticity and hue angle in the peel of ripe fruits harvested in winter were a consequence of 19 days of temperatures below 10°C that caused browning of the peel due to oxidation and the polymerization of phenols (Hashim et al, 2013).…”

“…Temperature and precipitation were higher and the most radiation was available in summer, which promoted greater biomass accumulation in the bunch and likely promoted a higher fruit-filling rate, resulting in a lower bunch-filling time in summer compared to winter (Table 1). Bugaud et al (2009) observed that banana plants of the variety 'Grande Naine' required a total radiation of 1270-1770 MJ m -2 for bunches to be harvested at different times of the year and in different regions of Martinique in the Caribbean. However, the thermal sum reached in these studies ranged from 950 to 1035 degree days, which does not include the thermal sum calculated for the winter.…”

of kinetin plus 200 mg L -1 of gibberellic acid, all of which were applied from the fourth to the last hand of the bunch. The bunch formation period influenced the filling time, the mass of the bunch and the stalk, the number and the mass of the hands, the number of fruits per hand, fruit size, and the position of the fruit in the bunch as well as the time postharvest shelf life, mass loss, peel color, pH, the soluble solids content and the titratable acidity of the pulp. As applied, the cytokinin and gibberellin did not influence the yield or fruit size, but bunch position had a strong influence on the size and number of fruits per hand.
