Özet

This trial was established in research and practice garden in Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Sciences according to randomized complete block design with three replications in 2013. Bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) seedlings grown in viols in the greenhouse were planted to land at different frequencies (70x50 cm, 70x100 cm, 70x150 cm) on May 20. The harvest started on August 12 and ended on September 18. Measurements for in each fruit harvested were made. In the study, from fruit characteristics, fruit ratio without seed and seed coat, seed weight and seed coat ratio in fruit and, from seed characteristics, seed length, width seeds, seed depth and 1000 seed weight; from yield components, the fruit yield, fruit yield per plant, single fruit weight per plant, number of fruits per plant and fruit length were determined. According to the results obtained from the research, the highest fruit yield per unit area was obtained from 70x50 cm of planting distance. In addition, the values obtained from the same planting distance in terms of fruit weight, fruit weight and fruit ratio without seed and seed coat, seed length, seed width and seed depth were higher than the one's which obtained from other planting distances
