Cultivars of the hybrid myrobalan plum bred in Belarus.

摘要

The myrobalan plum breeding programme conducted in Belarus resulted in development of cultivars adapted to the local climate. Five cultivars (Vetraz', Pramen', Mara, Naidena and Kometa) were entered in the State Register of Plant Breeding Achievements and recommended for industrial production. State field trials are being carried out with 4 other cultivars (Vit'ba, Asapoda, Lama and Lodva). Descriptions are provided for cultivars Pramen', Asaloda, Lodva (early maturing), Vetraz', Vit'ba and Lama (medium maturing), Mara and Soneika (late maturing). Information is included on plant morphology, crop quality, crop yield, processing quality, frost resistance and resistance to Clasterosporium [Stigmina].
