Özet

This study was carried out to determine the effects of different types and doses of vitamines on the germination percentages of apricot cultivars (Sekerpare, Hasanbey and Had Haliloglu) as well as two types of wild apricot (Zerdali-A and Zerdali-B) under labarotory conditions in 1996. Vitamine treatments (Riboflavin, Thiamine, Pyridoxine, Ca-Pantothenate, Nicotinic Acid and Ascorbic Acid) on the seeds generally increased the germination percentages compared to controls. Sekerpare had the highest germination percentage (55.69 %), while Had Haliloglu had the lowest (23.06 %). The highest germination percentage among the cultivars was on the other hand obtained from ascorbic acid (50.00 %), and the lowest germination percentage from Thiamine treatment (38.33 %). Furthermore, the highest germination percentage among the cultivars was observed in the doses of 100 ppm (51.50 %) followed by 50 ppm (50.65 %), 25 ppm (47.00 %), 200 ppm (44.00 %), 400 ppm (43.33 %) and control (35.00 %) respectively.
