Fruit growing
and viticulture of South Russia
Fruit growing in the KBR, with a variable soil and climate, and relief-altitude conditions is problem, so study of the resource potential of the land for specific fruit crops is actual. On the base of GIS the estimation of the land is given and territory of the fruit placement according to the main ecological requirements of the cultures is determined.
Planting of vegetative rootstocks of apple in the dry bulk of the ridge, compared with planting in the furrows, improves soil aeration in zone of root formation that sti-mulates their growth and development, which in turn helps to get of more qualitative seedlings.
The integrated activities to improve the soil environment are developed. It is proved, that their local application in growing of stone fruit planting material improves the development of root system and aerial parts of seedlings.
A mathematical model that enables the calcu-lation of the potential productivity of parent plantations of grapes in the specific growing conditions is elaborated.
It is shown that dwarf orchard on the rootstock M9, planted seedlings knip-baum, comes into fructification in the second year, and the apple crop in total for the second and third years reach-es 40-45 t/ha or more, and the costs for planting and care are in the main recovered.
