DEMONSTRATION 35. In Diyarbakır and Siirt Provinces, selections were made regarding the fruit varieties that could be grown in the region. Areas were identified through District Directorates in the regions that could be suitable for the selected fruit varieties where orchards can be established. Suitability of the selected fruit variety was identified by taking soil samples and meteorological data from the identified areas. In line with the advice received from Stations and Agricultural Research institutions, instead of the previously identified Pear variety for Diyarbakır, semi-dwarf apple was planted based on information regarding difficulty of finding certified sapling and difficulty of adaptation in the region. Orchard establishment was completed in line with the varieties identified with the relevant Stations. Details are provided in Table 4.
