Abstract

To evaluate some fruit characteristics and yield of seven promising olive genotypes a field experiment was carried out- using randomized complete block design with three replications in 2016 in Dallaho research station, Sarepol Zahab, Iran. Fruit yield and some fruit characteristics including; fruit weight, stone weight, drymatter (%), oil content were measured. Results showed that genotypes were significantly different for fruit yield and fruit characteristics. Genotype × year interaction effect was significant on fruit weight, fruit flesh weight, stone weight, flesh percentage, fruit yield and oil yield. Dd1 genotype with mean of 7.87 g had the heighest and Ps1 genotype with 3.31 g had the least fruit weight. Genotype, year and genotype × year interaction effects were significant on fruit yield and oil yield. The highest fruit and oil yield belonged to Bn6 with 17653 kgha-1 and 2362.1, respectively. Cultivar Sevillano had the lowest fruit yield (3000 kgha-1) and oil yield (218.9 kgha-1). Considering fruit and oil yield, Bn6 and Dd1 were identified as superior genotypes.
