Abstract :Turkey is second largest producer of nectarine with a ratio of % 29 of total production. This study was achieved in Mersin city in an orchard greenhouse in order to determine the effect of Y and V training and pruning systems on yield and quality of Sunfire nectarine variety. As a result of study, fruit weight was determined as the highest in V training system and summer pruning with 121.70 g and as the lowest value in Y training system and control with 64.40 g. Fruit width was the highest in V training system and summer pruning with 5.73 cm and the lowest value was V training system and 3.80 cm in control. Fruit height was determined as the highest in V training system and 6.90 cm in summer pruning while the lowest in V training system and 4.66 cm in control plants. Flesh/stone rate was the highest in Y training system and 1.93 g in summer pruning while the lowest in V training system and 1.80 g in winter pruning. Fruit yield per tree was the highest in V training system and 17.33 kg in summer pruning and the lowest in Y training system and 15.33 kg in control.
