The pomological properties of the walnut genotypes were attributed to the quality criteria of nuts. Fruit weight, kernel weight, fruit length, fruit width, fruit height, kerrnel ratio, shell thickness and shape index were determined as 10.88-15.35 g, 5.56-8.36 g, 33.72-42.79 mm, 30.88-37.49 mm, 30.90-35.79 mm, 48.12-54.51%, 1.07-1.42 mm and 1.07-1.25, respectively. The kernel color and fruit size were light yellow or dark yellow, and extra of all the genotypes. The fruits were found to be rich in crude protein and crude oil. The total ash, moisture, crude oil, crude protein total carbohydrate and total energy contents were determined as 1.31-2.05%, 3.15-3.91%, 63.62-66.78%, 14.54-17.53%, 11.54-15.53% and 698.18-712.87 kcal, respectively. Fruitful laterals ranged from 50 to 80% while harvest date ranged from 1-30 October. The flowering habits observed as 7 protandrous, 3 protogynous and 2 homogamous of the promising genotypes. The results might contribute to breeding studies in order to identify better walnut genotypes, the commercial production for the farmers in both this region and the other region of our country, and healthy diets in future.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessWalnutPomologicalsChemicalsBotanicalsEastern TurkeyArticle27424922498WOS:000430372900064Q4
