Frost to -30 ° C is not a hindrance: the Institute of Fruit Breeding of the NAS of Belarus bred superresistant varieties of berries and fruits
Belarusian scientists have successfully developed new frost-resistant varieties of plums, blackberries and blackberries. Crops withstood the abnormal frosts in winter, preserved high yield and large fruit size.
Frost is not a hindrance to the Belarusian garden. Scientists of the Institute of fruit breeding have bred varieties of plums, plums and blackberries, which withstand temperatures up to -30 ° C and at the same time give large, juicy fruits.
Abnormal frosts this winter have become a test of strength for breeders. The best samples showed themselves not only stable, but also productive. Alycha is no longer a small fruit weighing 10 grams, but a full-fledged large fruit. Blackberries - with berries up to four centimeters, which are stored for up to 10 days and easily tolerate transportation. And even drain now with a bone that separates effortlessly.
Alexander Taranov, Director of the Institute of Fruit Growing of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus: Belarusian and Russian varieties, which are obtained in the central region, bear fruit. Everything else does not bear fruit because it is not winter-resistant.”.
Lyudmila Frolova, Head of the Laboratory of Genetic Resources of Berry Crops of the Institute of Fruit Growing of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus: Of all our varieties that we study - 32 at the moment - the Belarusian variety Stefan is distinguished by the largest fruits. Length up to 4 centimeters can reach the berry. It has a long storage period: it can lie in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.”.
Together with Russian scientists, a super-early plum variety “Buzha” is being developed. After field trials, all successful species are passed on to farmers.
