PROGRESS IN APRICOT BREEDING IN NEW JERSEY |
| Authors: | S.A. Mehlenbacher, L.F. Hough |
| Abstract:
Apricot breeding was initiated at the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station 35 years ago. Significant progress has been made in developing genotypes adapted to the climate of New Jersey. Advanced selections are being tested in several locations, and are being intercrossed to combine tree health, consistency of production, and good fruit quality. Detailed descriptions and pedigrees of 22 advanced selections are presented. Of these, 15 were included for exceptional fruit quality, 11 for exceptional tree health, and 6 for exceptional flower bud hardiness. | |
