Turkey has
great variations and distributions in wild fig forms as well
as fig cultivars. This study was carried out in Mardin and
Şanlıurfa provinces during 2004 - 2005. Nine fig genotypes
were evaluated in this selection study for two years. In
this study, some morphological characteristics investigated
were tree growth habit, tree vigour, relative degree of
branching, leaf shape and leaf margin dentation. Also, the
characteristics of all the fig genotypes were identificated.
63-07-006 and 63-07-007 fig genotypes which had the highest
scores in all the fig genotypes according to analysis in the
weighted ranked method were evaluated to be best table fig
genotypes. In pomological characteristics, fruit weight
ranged between 71.77 g (47-02-003) and 43.29 g (63-07-005).
Some other values were: 65.26 mm (47-02-003) and 46.99 mm
(47-02-019) of width; 56.87 mm (47-02-003) and 38.23 mm
(47-02-008) of length; 4.44 mm (63-07-007) and 3.58 mm
(47-02-020) of ostiole width; 28.57% (47-02-012) and 16.87%
(63-07-007) of total soluble solids (TSS) ratio were
determined.
