Abstract:

 The beginning of fruit breeding research and institutionalization in Turkey coincides with the Republican Period, which is a very early date of the establishment of the agricultural system in the country. Scientific researches in this direction were implemented in the form of institutionalizations in the form of fruit breeding stations in various regions of the country, taking into account the different climatic and geographical characteristics of Turkey. At this point, Buyukdere Fruit Improvement Station, one of the first fruit breeding research centers in Turkey and established in Istanbul, made significant contributions to this process with its research on horticultural cultures, which express Turkeys top priority and basic need. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the developments in the field of horticultural cultures in Turkey, based on the example of Buyukdere Fruit Improvement Station established in Istanbul in 1928. As the content of the research; The work done by the students trained by the Buyukdere Horticultural Station and the Practical Gardening School established under its administration is emphasized. These activities generally refer to the protection, maintenance and sale of seedlings, in addition to growing fruit-vegetable and ornamental seedlings. The studies initiated under the leadership of the institution, the functioning of the Practical Gardening School and the effects of all these on society and the environment will be examined in the light of the written materials published for the purpose of launching through the Station and the data obtained from the periodicals of the period. As a result of the findings obtained from these materials, it is aimed to introduce an important agricultural institution such as Buyukdere Horticultural Station, which has a place in Turkeys socio-economic and cultural history, and to present its contributions to Turkey to the service of researchers.

 Türkiyede meyve ıslâhı araştırmaları ve kurumsallaşmaların başlangıcı, ülkede tarım sisteminin kurulmasının çok erken bir tarihi olan Cumhuriyet Dönemi ile örtüşmektedir. Bu yöndeki bilimsel araştırmalar, Türkiyenin farklı iklim ve coğrafî özellikleri dikkate alınarak yurdun muhtelif yörelerinde meyve ıslâh istasyonları şeklindeki kurumsallaşmalar olarak hayata geçirildi. Bu noktada Türkiyede ilk meyve ıslâh araştırma merkezi olan ve İstanbulda kurulan Büyükdere Meyve Islâh İstasyonu, Türkiyenin en öncelikli ve temel gereksinimini ifade eden bahçe kültürleri üzerinde yürüttüğü araştırmalarla bu sürece önemli katkılar sundu. Bu çalışmada Türkiyede bahçe kültürleri alanında yaşanan gelişmeler, 1928 yılında İstanbulda kurulan Büyükdere Meyve Islâh İstasyonu örneğinden yola çıkarak değerlendirme yapmayı hedeflemektedir. Araştırmada içerik olarak; Büyükdere Bahçe Kültürleri İstasyonu ve idaresi altında kurulan Pratik Bahçıvanlık Okulunca eğitilen öğrencilerin yaptığı çalışmalar üzerinde durulmaktadır. Bu faaliyetler genel olarak meyvesebze ve süs bitkileri fidanı yetiştirilmesine ek olarak, fidan korunması, bakımı ve satışını da ifade etmektedir. Kurumun öncülüğünde başlatılan çalışmalar, Pratik Bahçıvanlık Okulunun işleyişi ve tüm bunların topluma ve çevreye olan etkileri, İstasyon aracılığıyla lansman amaçlı basılmış yazılı materyaller ve dönemin süreli yayınlarından elde edilen veriler ışığında incelenecektir. Bu materyallerden elde edilen bulgular neticesinde Büyükdere Bahçe Kültürleri İstasyonu gibi Türkiyenin sosyoekonomik ve kültürel tarihinde yer edinmiş mühim bir zirai kurumunun tanıtılması ve Türkiyeye katkılarının araştırmacıların hizmetine sunulması amaçlanmaktadır.
