THE FLAT PEACH ASSORTMENT AT RESEARCH STATION FOR FRUIT GROWING CONSTANTA
Journal Title: FRUIT GROWING RESEARCH - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
At Research Station for Fruit Growing Constanta (RSFG Constanta) the programme for peach breeding started since 1977. The main objectives were: widening the harvest season, high quality of the fruit and good taste, resistance to transport, tolerance/resistance to the main diseases, etc. Also, the creation of new peach and nectarine varieties with flat fruit was one of the aims of the breeders. A good starting point for this work was the peach germplasm found which had more than 800 genitors, some of them with flat fruit. Standard breeding techniques as cross pollination, self pollination and open pollination were used and more hybrids were evaluated and 150 genotypes were tasted. From these, 7 peach and nectarine varieties with flat fruit were homologated. All of them have good average yields that ranged between 21.2 t/ha (‘Liana’) to 27.5 t/ha (‘Filip’) for a density of 833 trees/ha. Also, the peach and nectarine varieties mentioned proved to have flesh firmness, yellow or white color, very good aroma, red skin and good commercial aspect and tolerance to the main pathogen agents.
