Breeding assessment of plum hybrids

Abstract

Breeding evaluation of 20 plum hybrids from three different populations was carried out in the period 2010 - 2012. The scoring was made on the base of leaves and fruits visual observation for Sharka symptoms as well as on the biometric and chemical analyses of the fruits. Summarizing all data and comparing with the standard ‘Stanley’ three hybrids were selected for the next step of the breeding programme.
