Abstract:

Based on the introduction and cultivation experiments of Tainong 1 and Qinmi 9 passion fruit varieties in Yongkang City, Zhejiang Province, this paper conducted analyses on the growth characteristics, fruit yield, and nutritional components of the two passion fruit varieties to assess their potential for cultivation in the local area. The results of many years of introduction experiments showed that when planted in open-air fields, it was advisable to use the cuttings of Tainong 1, and when planted in greenhouse facilities, it was advisable to use the cuttings of Tainong 1 and Qinmi 9, which can achieve high yields. While the seedlings of Tainong 1 and Qinmi 9 had lower yields in open-air fields and greenhouse facilities. Overall, the two passion fruit varieties performed well in Yongkang City, Zhejiang Province, and their fruit quality showed no significant difference from the original place(Yulin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region), bringing good economic and nutritional benefits. This research provided a scientific basis for the further promotion of Tainong 1 and Qinmi 9 passion fruit varieties in Yongkang City and its surrounding areas.
