Assessment of adaptability and fruit quality in new apple cultivars for intensive orchards by N. G. Krasova, Z. E. Ozherelieva, A. M. Galasheva, M. A. Makarkina, M. V. Lupin

“…Simulating damaging factors helped to identify good resistance of tissues and buds of domestically bred apple cultivars to early winter frosts. These cultivars survived a temperature decrease to –30°C without damage in early winter and without significant damage (no more than 2.0 pts) at –40°C in midwinter, including the scab-immune (Rvi6) cultivars ‘Ivanovskoye’ and ‘Pamyat Hitrovo’, and immune triploids (3×) ‘Aleksandr Boyko’, ‘Akademik Saveliev’ and ‘Vavilovskoye’. …”
