Abstract
To provide basic data for variety improvement of chestnut cultivated in southern Korea, nut characteristics were investigated during 2008-2010. The number of burr by variety ranged from 37.7 in Kwangjujoyul to 183 in Juok. There were significant differences among variety in number of nuts per burr, and Idea had the least number of nuts per burr (1.2), while Sandae and Kwangeun had the largest (2.0). Nut weight also showed a distinct difference among variety, and Kwangdeok had the heaviest, while Kwangjujoyul had the lightest nut weight. Changbanggamyul showed the highest healthy nut rate of 89.9%, and Kunumi, Arima, Tsukuba, Kwangeun, and Pyeonggi had the rate of healthy nut of more than 80%. Sinyipyeong and Isseumo showed the high rate of rot nuts of 10.8 and 16.8%, which was needed to give attention to nut storage. Split pericarp percentage ranged from 0% in Changbanggamyul to 20.6% in Saeil, and that was above 15% in Sandae, Riheiguri, Juok, Kwangdeok but Kunumi, Arima, Tsukuba, Manseong, Changbanggamyul, Chuckpabyunii, Isseumo had the split pericarp percentage of less than 3%.
