Abstract

Commercial cultivars of hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) differ significantly in terms of pollen compatibility as well as fruit and kernel traits and compositions. This research aimed to evaluate the effects of different pollen sources on physical and chemical characteristics in some Iranian cultivars of hazelnut. This study was conducted as a split factorial experiment with three factors, the first factor consisted of selected commercial cultivars as maternal parents (Gerd Eshkevarat, Fertile, Segorbe), second factor was pollen in four levels including self-pollination, pollen obtained from three cultivar Garche, Boliba and Daviana and the third factor including foliar applications with two micronutrients boron and zinc, at four levels (control, boron, zinc and boron+zinc) based on a randomized complete block design with 3 replications in Eshkevarat region of Guilan province. The results showed that all studied cultivars had dichogamy and all cultivars were protandrous. Results showed the effects of pollen source on kernel and fruit traits of hazelnut were significant. According to the variance analysis of data, the triple effect of maternal cultivar, pollinizers and micronutrient foliar application on kernel dimensions, protein and phosphorus were significant (P<0.01). The highest (11.6%) and lowest (8.81%) protein content were observed in the Fertilede with Gercheh pollen grains and foliar application of boron and zinc, and the Gerd Eshkvarat with Daviana pollen grains without foliar application, respectively. The highest (201.9%) and lowest (26.8%) phosphorus content were observed in the Gerd Eshkvarat with Gercheh pollen grains and zinc foliar application, and the Segorb with Boliba pollen grains without foliar application, respectively. The highest (1125 mm3) and lowest (797.2 mm3) kernel volumes were observed with pollen source, and with and without foliar application, respectively.
