Dwarf varieties and rootstocks - the basis for creating intensive pear gardens in Central Russia

The interim results of many years work on the creation pear varieties - genetic dwarfs and dwarf rootstocks an intensive type with a high adaptive potential suitable for setting gardens in conditions Central region Russia are presented. At first stage obtained from crossing highly winter-resistant disease-resistant donors various origins monogenic determined dwarfism, group resistance to diseases were obtained. Among seedlings obtained, promising forms noted – 1-4-38, 1-6-74, 1-6-79, 1-6-83, which have number economically useful traits that valuable further direction obtaining super-intensive varieties. Preliminary data assessment common quince as rootstock given. winter-hardiness plants Orel is shown, possibility selected propagate well green cuttings provide yield homogeneous planting material determined. High indicators seed productivity comparison cuttings. preliminary compatibility some nursery prospects apple-pear hybrid intermediary incompatible scion-rootstock combinations VNIISPK breeding shown.
