Title: Apple Breeding in Romania
Author: N. Braniste
Abstract:
The apple is second only to plum in
important fruit crops in Romania.
Apples now account for approximately
30 percent of the acreage and output
of Romania's fruit production.
The
most widely grown cultivar is 'Jonathan,' followed by 'Golden Delicious'
'Red Delicious,' 'Parmain d'Or,' 'Idared,'
and a few local cultivars such as 'Cretesc'
and 'Patul.' (5)
The production of fruit crops has
reached more than 600,000 metric tons
annually; thus great importance has
been placed on varietal improvement,
either by introduction of foreign cultivars or by developing our own apple
breeding program.
