5. Link with the geographical area
The rate of alluvial soils in Bursa is significantly higher than in other provinces where peach is grown. The ratio of alluvial soil in Bursa is 11,6 %, which creates and ideal environment for peach cultivation. Wind is an important factor that affects peach quality. Coast, lake and mountain environment creates suitable conditions for peach cultivation. Northeast (NE), Southeast (SE) and East-Northeast (ENE) winds in Bursa are the prevailing wind directions in the areas that have high-quality production. The recommended maximum wind speed in the production area for high quality and healthy peach cultivation is 10 mph and lower. Bursa differs from other provinces in terms of soil structure and general climatic conditions, and especially wind speed. When Bursa is compared to other provinces, the peach cultivation area, i.e. Bursa has a milder wind (lower than 10 mph) with the effect of Uludağ Mountain nearby.
Bursa Şeftalisi varieties (J.H Hale and Glohaven) differ in size, colour, sweetness, juiciness and separation of the seeds from the flesh compared to the fruits of the same varieties grown in other regions due to the soil and climatic conditions of Bursa province. The pH level (between 6 – 7), alluvial soil structure (strainer, clayey, sandy, pebbly, deep and rapidly warmed) and mineral content (especially nitrogen) of Bursa province affect the growth of trees which has impact on the size and colour of J.H Hale and Glohaven variety peaches. The average annual precipitation in Bursa is 707,5 mm, especially pre-harvest precipitation is important in terms of seed formation and adhesion of the seed to the fruit. Production practices of Bursa producers have effects on peach quality. Pruning is carried out according to the method locally called ‘fish bone’ and consists of removing the dried, damaged and diseased branches, to increase light penetrations and provide a sufficient sunlight exposure of the fruits. Fish bone shape pruning effects the colour of peaches together with the effect of soil. Rarefication is made by hand and this application provides medium size fruit formation. Fertilization practices of producers cause the production of sweet and juicy fruits. The use of Erekeme (local name of the non-grafted peach tree) in pollination makes it easier to separate the peaches from their seeds. Planting ten ‘erekeme’ per hectar is enough for obtaining better fruit set.
