COLLECTION FORMATION AND USE
Abstract
Aim. To determine
economic and biological indicators (yield, average weight, palatability) of Viburnum opulus accessions under the
conditions of the central forest-steppe of Ukraine.
Results
and Discussion. V. opulus accessions were
studied at the L.P. Symyrenko Experimental
Station of Pomology of
the Institute
of Horticulture
of NAAS in 2015-2019. Five cultivars were
studied: Koralova, Velykoplidna, Rubinova, Ukrainochka, and Bahriaana. In
addition, 21 elite hybrid forms, which had been planted in plots of 4 m x1.5 m in 1998, were
investigated. The number of recorded plants per plot was 15 in 3 replications. Measurements and monitoring were
performed according to conventional methods. Multi-year breeding resulted in the following cranberry tree cultivars: Koralova, Velykoplidna, Rubinova, Ukrainochka, and Bahriana. Pomological characteristics of the cultivars are given for
basic economic and biological
features under
the conditions of the forest-steppe
of Ukraine.
The yield capacity is the main criterion in economic evaluation of V. opulus. It to a large
extent depends on characteristics of a cultivar, soil and climatic factors, and
farming techniques. The fruit size and palatability are major components of the
performance determining the fruit quality. Large and uniform berries are more
attractive both as fresh and as frozen products. In 2015-2019, the V. opulus yield ranged 6.52 to 9.37 kg
per bush and 10.9 to 15.6 tons
per hectare. The average berry weight was 0.8 - 1.25 g. Cultivar Bahriana
and hybrid form Ch-19500 were the most productive: 9.37 kg and 9.19 kg per bush,
respectively. Velykoplidna, Rubinova and Bahriana were distinguished due to the
average berry weight: 1.25 g,
1.2 g
and 1.2 g,
respectively. We built up a working
collection of V. opulus accessions by yield
capacity
and quality. The collection comprises 20 cultivars. All the cultivars are of local origin. The collection is formed by the following traits: yield level, berry size, berry shape, berry after colour, berry hardness, palatability, and the berry number per corymb.
Conclusions. The 2015-2019 studies showed that
the highest yields were obtained from Bahriana (15.6 t/ha), elite hybrid form
Ch-19500 (15.3 t/ha) and elite hybrid form P-19503 (15 t/ha); the highest fruit
weight was recorded in Velykoplidna (1.25 g), Rubinova (1.2 g), Bahriana (1.2 g), Ukrainochka (1.15 g), and elite hybrid
form P-19503 (1.16 g);
the best palatability scores were intrinsic to Koralova (8.5 points), Rubinova (8.5), Ukrainochka (8.3), Bahriana (8.3), elite hybrid form K-19501 (8.3).
