EVALUATION OF SOME ALMOND CULTIVARS AT RSFG CONSTANTA
Journal Title: FRUIT GROWING RESEARCH - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
Almond (Prunus amygdalus L.) is a fast fruit growing species that is fruiting after 3-4 years from planting. In Romania, almonds find good cultural conditions in the north-west region and in the South-Eastern area near the Black Sea (Cociu, 2003). At SCDP Constanţa there are several genotypes of almond (over 110) and few selections that have been studied. ‘Autofertil 1’ and ‘Autofertil 2’ are two selections, which have proven to be the most valuable in terms of blooming time (late), fruit productivity and quality. In 2016-2018, observations and measurements were carried out using the UPOV descriptors: the main phenophases, the average weight of a fruit in the shell, the percentage of the kernel, etc. Chemical analyses for total lipid determination (g%), dry substance (%) and ash (%) were performed. Both almond selections have an early ripening of the fruit (the second and the last decade of August) respectively, an average weight of kernel of 2.5 g and good quality ('Autofertil 2' - dry substance 95.93%).
