Abstract:
In this paper,analysis was made of the experiment of introduction of three fig varieties (Brunswick,Masui Dauphine,and A212) in Weiyuan. The result showed that the above-mentioned figs could adapt to the climate and soil in Weiyuan County. The fruiting rate of introduced fig varieties reached 100% in the first year, which were planted in 2003, because the new growth branches caused the maximum change in the second year. Compared with the local fig,the introduced fig varieties were better than the local fig in taste,mean fruit length,mean fruit diameter and mean fruit weight. The Brunswick's mean production per hectare was the largest in three introduced fig varieties,whose production was 31 500 kg per hectare. At the same site conditions,the introduced fig varieties were obviously better than the local varieties in tree growth level,mean individual production,and mean hectare production. Therefore,the introduced Brunswick,Masui Dauphine,and A212 fig varieties could be cultivated in Weiyuan areas.
