In Nizhny-Volzhsky Agricultural Research Institute
at Dubovskoye strong point, by hybridizing local
varieties with southern varieties, and by using
cultivated hybrids from free pollination, a number of
plum varieties combining winter hardiness with high
fruit quality have been introduced. The varieties
Volgograd, Bogatyrskaya and Vengerka
Korneevskaya are sorted, as well as a number of
other local Volga varieties obtained by
hybridization: Volga Blue, Summer Ternosly,
Autumn Ternon with the most adaptive introduced
varieties. These Volga varieties are donors of winter
hardiness. The environmental conditions of the
Lower Volga region contribute to the development
of adaptive genotypes that combine winter hardiness
with high fetal quality. The use of new varieties of
plums obtained in the Lower Volga region, in
crosses with the best varieties of plum, allows the
creation of industrial varieties of this crop
In cherry breeding aimed to improve fruit quality,
methods of intervarietal, interspecific and remote
hybridization are often used. As a result of the
conducted studies, new promising cherry varieties of
different maturation period, developed in the
conditions of the Lower Volga region by the method
of remote ecologic-genetic hybridization using the
best local varieties, were studied. The most effective
crosses are those developed with use of high-quality
cherry forms Zhukovskaya and Podbelskaya.
According to the aggregate parameters of fruit
quality (dry matter content, sugar-acid index), the
following varieties were positively identified:
Temnookrashennaya, Dubovochka, Lydia,
Rozovaya, Lyubimitsa, Coloritnaya, Korneevskaya,
Loznovskaya, Afina, Sharada, Lexema. The content
of vitamin C - Temnookrashennaya, Lydia,
Coloritnaya, Rozovaya, Lexema. Varieties
Temnookrashennaya, Lydia, Coloritnaya, Rozovaya,
Lexema are offered for use in the canning industry
