Abstract:
The cultivated acreage of apricot in California has decreased from 1981 to 1990. Furthermore, the U.S per capita consumption of apricots has also declined from 1970 to 1988. The major apricot cultivars presently grown in California are 'Blenheim,' 'Tilton,' 'Patterson,' 'Castlebrite,' 'Modesto' and 'Katy.' Some new cultivars being introduced are 'Earlicot,' 400-AR-l, 'Mesa #1' and 'Mesa #2.' In addition, some promising advanced selections from the USDA, ARS breeding program at Fresno will soon be avail able. These improved cultivars will contribute higher apricot quality and lengthen the season of production in California.
