Abstract:This study was conducted during years 2004 and 2005 to examine the effect of PGPR (Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria) inoculation and synthetic fertilizer (NPK) alone or in combination on some fruit quality characteristics such as fruit color, fruit weight, fruit dimensions, seed weight, flesh/seed ratio, stalk length and diameter, soluble solids content (SSC) and titratable acidity of sweet cherry cv. 0900 Ziraat. The bacteria Bacillus OSU-142 was sprayed on 10 years old trees at full bloom, 15 and 30 days after full bloom stages. The bacteria and fertilizer alone or in combination significantly increased in particular fruit weight, length, diameter, seed weight and SSC. The highest fruit weight was observed in 0.5 kg NPK per tree alone treatment as 7.24 g and followed by Bacillus OSU-142+0.5 kg NPK per tree treatment (6.42 g). The present results of this study suggest that Bacillus OSU-142 application is a potential agent to increase fruit quality of sweet cherry cv. 0900 Ziraat.
