NEW CULTIVARS OF KIWIFRUIT IN THE RUSSIAN HUMID SUBTROPICS
In 2015, two cultivars of kiwifrnit - ‘Hayward rossiysky' and ‘Monty S' became included into the State Register of Protected Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation. The cultivars were obtained in the Russian Research Institute of Floriculture and Subtropical Crops by clonal breeding. The paper describes them, distinguishes them from the original ‘Haiward' and ‘Monty' cultivars, as well as informs about their productivity, ascorbic acid content, advantages and disadvantages. The prospects for creating an uninterrupted conveyor of kiwifruit fresh fruits are determined.
