Pomological and Chemical Attributes of Almond Genotypes Selected from Hatay Province

This study was conducted to determine some pomological and chemical characteristics of 19 almond genotypes in term of found to be promising in yield and quality attributes. Selected from natural almond populations of Hatay province and district (Belen, Antakya, Yaylada？？, Alt？n？zü, Hassa) and shelled fruit weights of selected promising genotypes varied between 1.55 g (HTY-28) - 6.34 g (HTY-67); kernel weights varied between 0.61 g (HTY-25) - 1.29 g (HTY-67); kernel ratios varied between 15.99% (HTY-17) - 50.46% (HTY-28); double-kernel ratios varied between 0.00% - 16.67%; empty fruit ratios varied between 0.00% - 13.33%; total oil contents varied between 44.65% (HTY-40) - 54.56% (HTY-14); protein contents varied between 19.59% (HTY-27) - 33.79% (HTY-57)
