Abstract
The Brazilian production of persimmon expanded in recent years, mainly due to the high productivity of the culture. The persimmon fruit is originally from subtropical climate. However, new cultivation areas in tropical regions seem promising, especially altitude regions in the Brazilian savannah. In this context, the objective of this study was to assess production, productivity and fruit quality components of three cultivars of persimmon cultivated in tropical regions. The persimmon cultivars Pomelo, Guiombo and Rama Forte were evaluated in regards to the physical and chemical characteristics of fruits and productivity in two harvest seasons (190 days after pruning and 220 days after pruning). Fruits were obtained from twelve-year-old trees cultivated at the Rural Experimental Station of Anpolis -GO, planted at a spacing of 7 m x 5 m and grafted on common persimmon (Diospyros kaki L.) trees. The cultivars showed reliable levels of productivity, especially Pomelo and Giombo. The cultivar Giombo was the most productive in the region with an average yield of 545 fruits per plant. However, the Giombo fruit had reduced mass (127 g), and were smaller compared to the other evaluated cultivars. Pomelo fruits have higher average fresh mass (224 g), even without standing out with maximum yield. The highest yields were obtained for Giombo and Pomelo cultivars (13.25 and 19.27 ton/ha, respectively). Harvest time influences fruit parameters. The fruit harvested 190 days after pruning exhibited higher SS contents and lower acidity when compared with the other fruit harvested 220 days after pruning, regardless of the cultivar. The fruits on the plant darken over time. The Pomelo cultivar tended to yellowing with the reduction of soluble solids. Rama Forte and Giombo tended to reddening with increasing SS. The fruits of the Giombo cultivar had a higher SS/TA ratio, thus demonstrating that they are tastier compared to the other cultivars. The cultivars Giombo and Pomelo should be prioritized when choosing based on plant production, without worrying about shape and fruit color characteristics.
