Achievements and prospects for the development of fruit growing in the Republic of Moldova

Abstract

The development of the fruit growing in the Republic of Moldova has always been based on advanced researches. Scientific studies have been carried out which led to the development of physiological and technological foundations for the intensification of the cultivation of fruit plants. The objectives of this study were focused on the development of principles and methods for optimizing the parameters of the orchard structure, which depend on the vigour of the variety, the rootstock used, the fertility and moisture of the soil, the system of tree care and pruning as the main productivity factors.

The studies were carried out in the field using physiological, biochemical and biometric analyses. Analysis, synthesis, tabular, comparative and graphical methods were used in order to interpret the scientific results. The results have been published in scientific and methodological and didactic works, including patents, books, manuals and monographs, which demonstrate all scientific and technical aspects related to the growth and fruiting of fruit trees.
