In the institute, the pomology laboratory is used in order to distinguish certain characteristics of genotypes and varieties in vineyard, fruit, vegetable, and ornamental plants developed as a result of breeding studies. The characteristics of genotypes and cultivars such as fruit weight, size, shape, skin color, flesh/seed ratio, acidity, water-soluble dry matter, and juice content are determined. For this purpose, the following devices are available in our laboratory:
- Precision Balance
- pH meter
- Refractometer
- Titration Acidity Meter
- Juicer
- Blender
- Color Meter
