| Description | Vyftien doringlose turksvykultivars (Opuntia ficus-indica) is vir drie agtereenvolgende seisoene by die Universiteit van Pretoria se proefplaas vir opbrengs geëvalueer. Eksterne en interne verwante vrugkwaliteitseienskappe is geïdentifiseer en minimum standaarde is voorgestel. Vervolgens is die kultivars aan dié norme getoets en vergelyk. Die kultivars Morado, Algerian, Fusicaulis van Heerden, Fresno, Mexican en Nudosa het aan al die standaarde, of die meeste daarvan, voldoen. Die gevolgtrekking is gemaak dat dié kultivars die geskikste is om in die Pretoriagebied en streke met soortgelyke klimatologiese omstandighede vir varsvrugteproduksie aan te plant. Fifteen spineless prickly pear cultivars (Opuntia ficus-indica) were evaluated for three successive seasons at the University of Pretoria Research Farm. Yields were recorded and external and internal fruit quality factors were identified and considered. Following this investigation, minimum standards were suggested and the cultivars under review were compared. The cultivars Morado, Algerian, Fusicaulis van Heerden, Fresno, Mexican and Nudosa met all or most of the standards set. It is concluded that for fresh fruit production these cultivars are best suited for planting in the Pretoria region and in areas with similar climatic conditions. | |
