In the publication characteristics are given to new grades of the gooseberry, which selectors called grades of the XXI century.
In the late nineties we years in VSTISiP under the direction of known selector I.V. Popova – the author of many popular grades of a gooseberry, were deduced new perspective grades of this culture. They are considered as one of the most winter-hardy and high-yielding, and takzhe steady to sferoteke and antraknozu.
The grade Rodyonik (Purmen x Lada) which thanks to the stayobilny productivity and high stability to sferoteke takes a worthy place gardens became a parental form of some of them. Bushes at it srednerosly, semi-sprawling, with thick, strong, slaboshipovaty escapes. Berries roundish and rounded oval, sredneranny term of maturing, yellowish zelenye, the maximum weight to 12 g, pleasant dessert taste. They are very tasty fresh, perfectly are suitable for preparation of wines, jams and jam. The grade skoroplodyony, enters fructification on 2 – the 3rd year after landing. The spring very well transfers winter temperature drops. It serves as a fine pollinator for a gooseberry of early and sredneranny terms of maturing.
"Son" of the Spring – a grade the Green rain received the nazvayony not casually: during a time of fructification of its branch literally oblepleny emerald-green berries drops. Bushes at etogo grades, as well as parental, srednerosly, semi-sprawling, escapes with individual thorns. The green rain shows vyyosoky stability to sferoteke and antraknozu. Berries of average and early term of the maturing, unusual tear-shaped form, mass of 6 – 8 g, very sweet. They are tasty as fresh, and in the processed look. The grade skoroplodny, enters a plodoyonosheniye for the 2nd year after landing.
Quite another matter Grushenka (Northern captain x Mosyokovsky red x GF 595-33). Berries of this grade too a kapleyovidny form, but already other coloring – red-violet. Bushes srednerosly, sprawling, escapes almost besshipny. The fructifying escapes reminding branches of sea-buckthorn berries, prigibayutsya to the earth under weight of a plentiful crop of sweet berries. Berries at Grushenka in weight of 6 – 8 g, are covered with a lung wax for a short while, at a perezrevaniye aren’t showered. A grade of srednepozdny term of maturing, high-winter-hardy, steady to sferoteke, septoriozu and to virus diseases. Gruyoshenka usually after other grades therefore it is not damaged by late frosts blossoms.
One more very interesting new grade – the Defender (Black not Guus x Koun a bean). Despite very prickly escapes, it was fallen in love at once by much. Bushes at the Defender upright, vysoyokorosly, escapes silnookolyuchenny. It it is possible successfully ispolzovat as a green hedge. Advantage double – both a fence, and a crop excellent! Berries of late term of maturing, large, the maximum weight – to 13 g, very beautiful dark fioletovogo colors, with the bluish shade, covered wax naleyoty.
Berries at it very sweet, with a thick thin skin, vysokotranyosportabelny, perfectly are suitable for a freezing and a jam prigotovyoleniye. But also fresh they are magnificent. And not strashyono that thorns at the Defender sharp – such berries costs zashhishhat!
The defender – a grade skoroplodyony, yields a harvest for the 2nd year after landing. As well as other soyovremenny grades of a gooseberry, it differs morozostojkostyu, high productivity, stability to diseases.
These grades novelties are really perspective, as xarakterizuyutsya the increased stability to diseases, urozhajnostyu both high flavoring and commodity qualities of berries. Productivity, by the way, can increase still, after all for some grades normal fructification comes only from 5th year. It is necessary to tell still that it depends not only on high-quality features, climatic conditions, but also from agrotechnology level. The Krupnoplodnost of a kryyozhovnik changes on years and depends first of all on security of plants with moisture, nutrients and heat. It is especially important, that they were provided by all necessary in a month previous maturing of berries. At implementation of all requirements the mass of berries sometimes in 1,5 – 2 times is higher than that that is characteristic for a grade. Even the simplest autumn introduction of humus (on a bucket under each bush) promotes not only to productivity increase, but also increase in average weight of berries.
Already today spetsiyoalist call these novelties of a grade of XXIveka.
