| Abstract:
A breeding programme is developed on apricot at INRA France since the sixties. The main objectives are the enlargement of the period of production, the regularity of the production, fruit quality and less susceptibility to the main diseases. After a first set of 11 cultivars, released since 82 for each of the 3 main areas of production, a new set of 3 cultivars has been recently released and is developed in France by CEP Innovation under the frame of a national agreement with INRA and Agri-Obtentions. ‘Solédane’ (cov) is adapted to Mediterranean coastal area; ‘Florilège’ (cov) is suitable for the lower part of the Rhone valley, and ‘Bergarouge®’ Avirine (cov) is well adapted to all the French area of cultivation. The three apricot cultivars are registered in the French national catalogue and protected under the UPOV Rights. | |
