Project Objective
The project aims to promote and popularize the dwarf apricot variety, which is not widely cultivated in the region, making it a preferred choice for farmers.
Benefits
- Cultivating dwarf apricots early in the season generates high revenue per decare, increasing farmers’ income and supporting regional economic development.
- Due to their small size, dwarf apricot trees are easier to prune and maintain, saving farmers time and labor.
- Dwarf apricot trees bear fruit earlier than other varieties, allowing faster return on investment and earlier income for farmers.
- They produce high-quality fruit, which increases consumer demand and facilitates marketing.
- Harvesting is easier because the lower height of the trees provides easier access to the fruits.
- Modern agricultural techniques and technologies are expected to improve yield and quality, resulting in a more efficient cultivation process and higher production.
- The excellent aroma of dwarf apricots and their suitability for both fresh and dried consumption increases consumer preference and provides a competitive advantage in the market.
Implemented Work
- A total of 147 trees were planted on a 2.5-decare area.
- The Perfect Red variety from Parlar Nursery was used.
