SELECTION OF ROOTSTOCKS, CREATION OF NEW CULTIVARS AND SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE ALMOND ASSORTMENT
Journal Title: Natural Resources and Sustainable Development - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Research regarding almond culture started in 1975 and had three directions: a). selection of new rootstocks with a preliminary stage in the nursery (1978-1979) and another one in the orchard (1979-1991); b). introducing more productive cultivars to improve the assortment; c). breeding Romanian cultivars better adapted to the ecological conditions of the area. Over 100 cultivars and hybrids were studied between 1979 and 1994 in 5 field trials and in 1983 the following cultivars were introduced: Texas, Sudak, Ardechoise, Bruantinne, Mary Dupuy, Pomorie and Retsou. The newly introduced cultivars showed a yield increase of 71.9% in the 1987-2005 period versus 1975-1982. Out of the selections in two field trials, established in 1994 and 1999, the following cultivars were patented: Adria, Sandi, Vio, April and Alexandru,and in the 2013 Nicoleta,Adeluța and Cristi . By introducing the five commercial cultivars, the yield increase in the future may surpass 81% compared to the 1987-2005 period.
