On the selection and placement of apple varieties for growing in commercial orchards in the middle zone of fruit growing in Russia

Abstract

The relevance of the work is caused by the fact that recently the government has been allocating significant funds for the revival of horticulture, which is an important area of development of domestic agriculture. Since the 1990s, fruit growing in Russia has been in a state of decline -the area of orchards has been greatly reduced, the yield and gross fruit production have decreased several times. Now when the situation is changing for the better, new orchards should become competitive, fully meeting the needs of the population of our country in fruit production. For this purpose, it is necessary to take into account the most advanced domestic and foreign developments and technologies.
