Apricot Reseach Institute
Research Institute
Orchard-based living labs; perennial fruit agroecosystems; agrobiodiversity and genetic resources; climate stress resilience (drought, frost, diseases); farmer-led field demonstrations.
Enhancing the genetic diversity and variability of crops and livestock for the agroecological transition
We are interested in joining agroecology and agrobiodiversity-oriented European projects as a partner, particularly under Topic 1 focusing on the enhancement, conservation and sustainable use of genetic diversity in agricultural systems.
Our main cooperation interests include:
* Agroecological Living Labs based on perennial fruit systems (especially apricot orchards)
* Conservation, characterization and sustainable use of fruit genetic resources (ex situ collections and on-farm applications)
* Climate stress resilience in orchards (drought, spring frost, major diseases and pests)
* Farmer-oriented field demonstrations, co-creation and long-term experimentation
* Integration of applied research results into practice, policy support and advisory services
We aim to contribute orchard-based living laboratories, long-term field trials, genetic resource collections and applied agroecological expertise to multidisciplinary European consortia.

The Apricot Research Institute is a public agricultural research organization operating under the General Directorate of Agricultural Research and Policies of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Türkiye.
The Institute conducts applied and strategic research primarily in apricot, and also in fruit growing, viticulture, plant health, soil and water resources. Its core missions include:
* Development of new varieties and lines through breeding and cultivation techniques aligned with market demands, improving yield, quality and resilience to diseases, pests and adverse environmental conditions, using modern biotechnological approaches.
* Research on agricultural mechanization, precision agriculture, early warning systems, plant nutrition and integrated pest management to increase efficiency and reduce harvest and post-harvest losses.
* Conservation, characterization and sustainable use of plant genetic resources, including collection, ex situ maintenance, evaluation and utilization in breeding programs.
* Applied research on apricot drying, post-harvest technologies and quality improvement.
* Registration, certification and maintenance of improved varieties and propagation materials, and transfer of high-quality plant material to nurseries.
* Research on apricot diseases and pests and development of integrated and sustainable control strategies.
* Development of efficient irrigation methods and technologies to improve water use efficiency in agriculture.
* Studies on soil fertility, plant nutrition and soil conditioners to enhance soil quality and sustainability.
* Long-term phenological monitoring, data collection, yield forecasting and reporting to support decision-makers and mitigate potential agricultural risks.
The Institute hosts extensive living collections and ex situ conservation orchards, functioning as long-term living laboratories that support agroecological research, farmer engagement and policy-relevant outcomes.
