Almond growing may be improved as an alternative to pistachio in the GAP region. Therefore it will be necessary to establish almond plantations in the irrigated areas. The young plant stage is a basic period for the almond orchard. This region is a disease-free area because it has been recently put under irrigation. To prevent disease contamination in this area it will be basic to grow our own young plants in this area rather than to take them from outside and also to implement quarantine conditions. For this purpose, a nursery has been established in Akçakale. In this experiment, growth, development and bud sprout rate were investigated on 21 varieties which are grafted on almond seedlings. Cultivars were compared in terms of growth, development and bud sprout rate.
