Abstract

The article presents the long-term results of the “Kazakh Research Institute of Fruit and Vegetable Growing” LLP on improving the assortment of fruit crops. The “State Register of Breeding Achievements Recommended for Use in the Republic of Kazakhstan” includes 22 varieties of apple trees and 3 varieties of pears. Over the past 20 years, 97 varieties of apple trees and 25 varieties of pears have been transferred to the State Variety Testing; about 50 varieties of apple trees have been brought into the gene pool of the “Kazakh Research Institute of Fruit and Vegetable Growing” LLP - Honey Crisp, Champion, Red Chive, Pink Lady, Samurlet, Quinty, Jenny Grent, and others; 21 varieties of pears - Lyra, Yesenevskaya, Muratovskaya, Cheremshina, Vrodliva, Claude Sablinsky, Williams, and others. The introduced varieties were studied in the climatic conditions of the south and southeast of Kazakhstan for economically valuable traits such as early fruiting, productivity, adaptability, fruit quality, resistance to major diseases (scab, powdery mildew, fire blight), and pests etc. The article provides an economic and biological description of seven apple varieties and four pear varieties selected domestically, as well as five apple varieties and five pear varieties selected from abroad. Data on their biological and economic indicators and their suitability for intensive gardening technologies are presented. Additionally, the paper examines the prospects for further enhancing the assortment through the introduction of new varieties and breeding efforts. The results obtained can be used not only in scientific research but also in the establishment of modern industrial gardens aimed at increasing the productivity and quality of fruit products.
