Abstract | ||||
The blooming period of Dorsett Golden cultivar was 35-38 days, which coincides with the blooming period of Anna (28-32 days). EinShemer blooming period was comparably shorter (14-21 days). This period did not completely coincide with the blooming period of "Anna". The highest fruit set was obtained under open pollination conditions. The best pollinizer for "Anna" cultivar was "Dorsett Golden" which gave the highest fruit set (65.00 and 66.66%) compared to Ein-Shemer pollinizer which gave the lowest (4.03 and 35.00%) in two seasons. The pollen viability of the three cultivars ranged from 73.30 to 86.10% in 15% sucrose. | ||||
