Research Committee meetings were held in preparation for the project evaluation meetings. Throughout the event, a total of 31 projects were discussed.

Projects conducted in our institute are supported by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, General Directorate of Agricultural Research and Policies (TAGEM).

In addition, we have two projects supported by TUBITAK and two projects carried out with our institutional facilities. Also, one TAGEM R&D project supported by our institution continues.

Below are the names of the ongoing, finalized and interim reports - new proposal projects at our institute.

Ongoing Projects

19. Vineyard genetic resources project in Southeastern Anatolia region

20. Developing new late ripening grape varieties by crossbreeding

21. Establishing an irrigation program for pistachio irrigated with different irrigation levels according to development periods

22. Investigation of fresh storage possibilities of pistachio

23. Effects of some plant growth regulators on reaching grafting diameter of pistachio seedlings in a shorter time

24. Effects of under tree and physically defected fruits on aflatoxin and ochratoxin formation in pistachio

Interim Reports - New Proposals

1. Obtaining new pistachio varieties by selection

2. Determination of performances of some pistachio varieties and promising pistachio genotypes

3. Determination of adaptation of newly developed table grape varieties in different   ecologies (Gaziantep Location)

Finalized Projects
