Abstract

HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires publics ou privés.

Apricot Productivity in the Northern Part of the Country Under the Influence of Abiotic Factors

“…Currently, worldwide (Dejampour 2012, Gouble et al 2020, Liu et al 2012, Xue et al 2020) is a constant interest in promoting and introducing in cultivation new varieties of apricot. In order to evaluate the behaviour of new varieties in different cultivation areas (Gouble et al 2020), it is necessary to carry out tests under production conditions and then to be approved (Balan et al 2008, Peşteanu et al 2018, Stănică et al 2010Stănică & Eremia 2014).…”

Preliminary Results Regarding the Behaviour of Some New Apricot Cultivars in București Area

“…Apricot is an important fruit crop for the southern and western regions of Romania with a long tradition of cultivation (Bălan et al, 2008). Several breeding programs are active in Europe (Asma, 2012 (Gouble et al, 2020), field trials are essential and the results over few testing years need to be used when the introduction of a new cultivar is decided (Stănică et al, 2010;Stănică and Eremia, 2014;Tabakov and Yordanov, 2012;Zaman et al, 2018). In fruit trees, the field performances of a new cultivar, regarding the tree vigour, growth, yield and fruit quality, besides its genetic heritage, are essentially influenced by the rootstock (Duval et al, 2012;Krška et al, 2012;Tabakov and Yordanov, 2012), planting system and tree canopy (Stănică et al, 2012;Matei et al, 2013;Stănică and Eremia, 2014;Negru, 2019;Negru and Peșteanu, 2019).…”
