Comparison of some raspberry cultivars' herbal features by repeated random complete design statistic technique.
The aim of this study was comparatively to examine herbal traits of the cultivars such as Rubin, Summit, Holland Dwarf, Heritage, Tulameen, Aksu Red, Nuburg, Canby and Willamette red raspberries cultivated at Ankara Condition, in the capital of Turkey between 2002 and 2005. According to Repeated Random Complete Design (RRCD) (which was composed of four random plot design experiments) used in the experiment, the effects of cultivar, year and cultivar by year interaction on herbal traits such as the height of shoot, diameter of shoot, number of shoot, fruitfulness of shoot and weight of fruit were further more significant (p < 0.0001). Besides, determination coefficients of RRCD for traits ranged from 95.60 to 99.94% (very-high). As a result, we concluded in Ankara condition that as to herbal traits such as the height of shoot, diameter of shoot, number of shoot, fruitfulness of shoot and weight of fruit, Willamette cultivar were more superior to others. In addition, we can suggest that researchers should analyze using RRCD because Determination Coefficients of RRCD for all traits were much more found.
