ABSTRACT
This study was carried out during 1998-99 and 1999-2000 vegetation periods under a glasshouse in K. Maras/Turkey. In the first year Early Glow, Cavendish and Douglas were used and in the second year Camarosa was introduced instead of Early Glow. In the experiment the effects of 3 different growing media, 1) Perlite+Sand+Farm Yard Manure, 2) Turf+Sand+Orchard soil, 3) Turf+Sand) on the yield and quality of those cultivars were investigated. The effect of cultivar or growing media on total yield/plant in 1999 was not significant. Douglas produced a significantly higher yield than Cavendish in 2000. The highest yield/plant was obtained from Douglas in 1999 Some of the highest fruit weights were recovered from T+S+S media although season average results were not significantly different.
