Abstract:
Eighteen advance test selections in the Harrow
pear breeding program were compared in processing quality as canned halves and as canned
puree to that of 'Bartlett.' Processing quality of
the selections varied from year to year and
selections differed in their relative quality as
canned halves and as puree.
One selection, HW
606, consistently approached or was better than
'Bartlett' in processing quality of canned halves
and puree.
Other selections, HW 611, HW 612
and HW 614, were also consistently high in
canning quality but only approached that of
'Bartlett; The selections, HW 613 and HW 614,
consistently approached 'Bartlett' in puree quality but did not equal it.
All selections were
considerably more fire blight resistant than
'Bartlett' on the basis of evaluations of natural
infections and artificial fire blight inoculations.
