Cultivars of fruit mulberry tree for organic gardening

Abstract

The purpose. To create highly adaptive to biotic and abiotic factors of environment cultivars of fruit mulberry tree and to proved experimentally an opportunity of their use in organic gardening. Methods. Sampling of stable forms in centre of diseases of mulberry tree. Selection of the most stable cultivars of fruit mulberry tree from epy collection gene pool with their subsequent use in selection process. Results. For the first time on the basis of gene pool of the collection of mulberry tree fruit cultivars of mulberry tree with high stability to impact of external factors of environment which are suitable for deriving organic products are created. Crop of infructescences, their size and disease resistance is higher in comparison with a check variety Kharkov 3. Conclusions. It is possible to grow stable against adverse conditions of environment cultivars of fruit mulberry tree without application of both chemical protective means against diseases and pests, and chemical fertilizers. Therefore they can be used in system of production of organic gardening.
