Özet:

The present study was conducted with local grape cultivars of Seedless, Süleymani, Hurıst, Mılaki, Reşık, Keçimemesi, Veşifır and Sipiyaşin grown on their own roots in Şemdinli (Hakkari) in the year 2015. The primary objective was to determine bud fertility and optimum pruning levels of the grape cultivars. Bud fertility (inflorescence/bud) of the cultivars was determined through counting the number of inflorescences over the annual shoots forced to shoot from the single-bud scions taken from the 1-10th nodes. It was concluded based on present findings that Sipiyaşin cultivar should be pruned above the above the 1-3rd buds Süleymani, Hurıst, Mılaki, Reşık, Keçimemesi and Veşifır cultivars should be short-pruned above the 4-5th buds and Seedless cultivar should be long-pruned above the 7th bud.
