Abstract

In this study, two different currants varieties ('Rosenthal' and 'Red Lake') were investigated. The row spacing, number of branches and pruning practices has been evaluated in terms of their effects on yield and quality of the varieties. For this purpose, during three-year period (2014-2016) it were made three applications to black currant: the distance between rows and plants in the row 2.0 x 1.2 m, 2.0 x 1.5 m and 2.0 x 2.0 m, training bushes as 1, 3 and 5 branches per plants. In this application as well as other parts of plants, the pruning performed by keeping a part allowed pruning old shoots. Different biochemical, phenological and pomological properties have been evaluated too.
