Abstract :The research carried out to evaluate effects of quince rootstocks [Quince Province BA29 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BA29);, Quince Ainsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(QA);, Quince C insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MC);], pear cultivars, and research years on fruit quality and yield efficiency in the years 2020-2021. The highest fruit weight was obtained from BA29 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(196.02 g);, the lowest from MC insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(158.09 g);. In the cultivars the highest fruit weight was obtained from ‘Abate Fetel’ insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(210.85 g);, the lowest from ‘Santa Maria’ insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(156.73 g);. The highest number of fruits insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(17.06 pieces tree-1);, yield per tree insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.13 kg tree-1);, yield per hectare insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5982.8 kg ha-1); and yield per trunk cross sectional area insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.30 kg cm-2); obtained from BA29 followed by QA. In the cultivars, highest number of fruits insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(19.60 pieces tree-1);, yield per tree insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2.98 kg tree-1);, yield per hectare insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5685.00 kg ha-1); obtained from ‘Santa Maria’. In the research years, pre-harvest fruit drop rate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PHFDR 11.04%); and black spotted fruit rate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BSFR 13.79%); observed to be higher in 2021, while marketable fruit rate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MFR 77.03%); observed to be higher in 2020. In the rootstocks, the highest PHFDR insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(11.24%); observed on BA29 rootstocks, while highest MFR insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(73.72%); recorded on QA. In terms of cultivars, the highest PHFDR insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(10.73%); observed in ‘Williams’, while highest BSFR insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(16.41%); in ‘Deveci’, and highest MFR insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(76.31%); in the ‘Santa Maria’. As a conclusion, the highest yield and marketable fruit rate obtained from ‘Santa Maria’ cultivar and yield from BA29 rootstock. It could be suggested semi-dwarf cultivars and rootstocks for suitably performs under high density pear orchards.
