The Problems and Future of Persimmon (Diospyros Kaki L.) Cultivation in Turkey
Journal Title: Black Sea Journal of Agriculture - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Persimmon is one of pome fruits in which significant development in production and consumption has not been obtained in Turkey. Although persimmon is a valuable fruit thanks to its high nutritional value, the demand for it in our country and around the world has not reached to the desired amount. Low recognition level of the fruit, lack of high quality crops to present to consumers and underproduction are some of the reasons for the low demand for the fruit. Success in cultivation is measured with the level of marketability of the crops. It can be seen that factors that affect yield and quality are not considered adequately in cultivation of persimmon. These factors are paying no mind to the flower structure and fertilization physiology; not setting crown structure in a balanced way; sunburn; deficiencies in cultural treatments and failures after harvest. One of the other problems about persimmon is that requests of the market are not taken into account in production. Carrying out cultural treatments consciously besides choosing the cultivars that are appropriate for ecology and target markets can increase yield and quality and provide consumer satisfaction. The increase in demand as a result of these will encourage production.
