Abstract :This research has been conducted to determine the highest yielding and quality pop corn varieties under Karaman ecolog-ical conditions and to examine the yield and quality components of pop corn varieties in 2003. In this research which designed in a “Randomized Complete Block” with four replications, 12 pop corn varieties were used. In this research, were changed between for popping volume 18.5 cm3/g insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Konya Pop); – 35.25 cm3/g insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ZP 611 K);, rate of unpopped kernels 2.42 % insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( 85 Ant 2503 x 72.11); - 9.9 % insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(85 Ant 2503 x Sarı T.);, kernel size 57.25 number/10 g insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Konya Pop); – 87.25 number/10 g insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NS-620);, grain protein rate 9.00 % insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Koç Kompozit); - 11.34 % insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Bahar P-618);, 1000 grain weight 114.68 g insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NS-620); – 175.93 g insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Konya Pop);, hectoliter weight 78.73 kg insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(85 Ant 2503 x Sarı T.); – 86.19 kg insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NS-620); delicious test 0.75 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Bahar P-621); – 6.5 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Nermin Cin, Konya ve Karaman Pop);, grain yield 499.5 kg/da insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Mr. Kelly); – 753.5 kg/da insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Bahar P-621);. In this research, it was recommend that “Koç Kompozit”, “Ant Cin – 98”, “NS-620”, “ZP 611 K”, “85 Ant 2503 x 72.11”, “Bahar P-618”, “Bahar P-621” and “Nermin Cin” popcorn varieties can be grown for high yielding and quality under Central Anatolia ecological conditions.
