| Abstract:
In this paper, the results of Almond breeding program are shown. 51 families deriving from crosses of 12 almond varieties were studied. The main objectives envisaged in the selection processes were: Self-compatibility, late flowering and drougth resistance. After many years observing the progenies 17 genotypes combining self-compatibility and drougth resistance were preselected in 93'. Also 150 preselected genotypes combining late flowering and self-compatibility are now implanted in a cold area where the occurrence of frecuent frost is delaying the selection processes. | |
