Full TextAbstract
The present study was done to find the effect of self and cross-pollination on pomegranate fruit yield and quality. Treatments were ‘Bihasteh Ravar’ (♂) × ‘Malas-e- Yazdi’ (♀): [BM]; ‘Kambar Najaf Abad’ (♂) × ‘Malas-e-Yazdi’ (♀): [KM]; ‘Sangan Khash’ (♂) × ‘Malas-e-Yazdi’ (♀) :[SM]; and ‘Malas-e-Yazdi’ (♂) × ‘Malas-e-Yazdi’ (♀) :[MM]. Data showed that pollen source influenced all traits related to fruit quality with the exception of aril color and taste. The best pollen source for ‘Malas-e-Yazdi’ was ‘Bihasteh Ravar’ that reduced peel thickness, but increased juice volume and TSS/TA ratio. So, it is concluded that cultivation of at least two pomegranate cultivars in an orchard is useful to achieve more yield and better fruit quality.
