Effects of planting density on yield and quality characteristics of hazelnut (cv. Palaz) in a hedgerow training system
Abstract
Effects of plant density on yield and nut characteristics of Palaz hazelnut grown in a hedgerow training system in the Black Sea region of Turkey were investigated between 1998 and 2001. Five planting densities, from 2000 to 6000 plants ha(-1), were evaluated. Yield per hectare varied among years, but increased logarithmically with planting density each year. Nut and kernel characteristics varied among years by were not affected by planting density.
