VEGETATIVE AND PRODUCTIVE BEHAVIOR OF FIVE CULTIVARS AND ONE SELECTION OF PERSIMMON IN VERANÓPOLIS, RIO GRANDE DO SUL STATE, BRAZIL
Abstract
The research evaluates the vegetative and productive behavior of five cultivars and one selection of
persimmon cultivated in Veranópolis, RS, Brazil. In general, the flowering of persimmon cultivars and selection
occurred in October, while the fruits ripening began in March and finished in April or May. Kaoru, Rama Forte,
Micado and Regina showed the longest cycles (period between the beginning of the flowering and the beginning
of the ripening), while Fuyu and Chocolate 3 the shortest cycles. The cvs. Fuyu, Kaoru and Micado exhibited
alternation of production. Regina persimmon was the best, with an average yield of 83,10 kg/plant; Kaoru and
Fuyu also showed good yields. The cv. Micado showed the highest mean fruit weight (368,43 g), while the cv.
Rama Forte showed the lowest (140,25 g).
