Abstract

In 11-year plantings the yield of hybrids in the combination of crossing V. corymbosum (Spartan, Duck) ♀ × V. angustifolium ♂ varied from 47 to 1,262 g per bush. The productivity of 67.6% of plants was limited by the value of 600 g and in only five forms it exceeded the value of 1,000 g. The mass of hybrid berries varied from 0.38 to 1.25 g and in average reaches 0.68 g. In terms of the value of the indicator under consideration, 86.5% of the plants surpassed lowbush blueberry, the weight of which is 0.51 g. The part of hybrids with berries more than 1 g was 9.2%. The diameter of the berries of hybrid generation varied from 8.2 to 13.1 mm, height – from 7.0 to 10.6 mm. Intensive development of wax plaque on fruits is typical for 78.5% of hybrids, medium – for 19,0%. And only 2.5% of the forms are completely devoid of cover.

As for the large-fruited forms of hybrids with a berry weight of 1.08–1.25 g, their yield varied from 581 to 1,107 g, fruits were characterized by a medium wax cover and had a rich sweet with a light aroma of bilberry and a slightly detectable acid. The ripening of the crop in the period from mid-July to early August determines the orientation of farms to the local market of fresh berry products and more northern regions, both of our country and neighboring countries, transportation to which, massively ripening in similar periods, highbush blueberries from the south of Belarus will be inappropriate.
