The influence of climatic factors and the crown formation system on the fruiting characteristics of some cherry varieties

Abstract

In recent years, large areas of cherry orchards have been planted in Moldova using vegetative rootstocks and new varieties that show different resistance to the climatic conditions of the Republic. The aim of our research was to select the best crown shape and the most suitable variety for the production conditions. It was found that the Kordia variety is characterized by poor resistance to low temperatures during both winter and spring frosts, which leads to a decrease in the degree of fruit set and, as a result, the productivity of plantations compared to the Regina variety.
