Productivity of apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) introduced cultivars in the Ukraine Western Lisosteppe / Trokhymchuk A.I., Denysyuk O.F. // Sadivnytstvo (Horticulture). – 2016. – 71. – P. 13-21. – Refs.: 9. – in Ukrainian.
23 introduced apple cultivars were estimated at the age of full fruit - bearing concerning their productivity. Cvs Charavnitsa, Nadzyeiny, Pamyat’ Subarovoi, Zaslavskoye, Antei, Syabrina, Alyesya bred in Belarus and Jonagold, Jonagored, Lodel, Decosta, Elise, Golden Delicious Reinders, Vil`muta and Pilot of the westeuropean group on the root stock 54-118 appeared high productive with an average yield of 44.17 + 2.16 and 34.66 +1.07 kg/tree respectively. The tree trunk diameter proved to be model indicator of yield. On 54-118 the cultivars of the both groups began the full fruit-bearing under a trunk diameter of 5.0-5.9 cm, achieving the optimum yield when this indicator was 10.2 cm and even more.
