Abstract
The current research aimed at the study of
11 varieties of black currant in competition
culture under conditions of intensive cropping at
SC Fructex Bacau. It involved a number of
biometrical measurements of black currant fruit,
phenological observations on the onset of the
main vegetation and fructification phenophases,
crop production of fruit/plant, as well as the dry
matter content of the fruit.
The aim was also to observe the behaviour
of black currant varieties at the attack from
American of gooseberry mildew (Sphaeroteca
Mors certa uvae), under the given pedoclimatic
conditions.
The black currant varieties recommended
for breeding in the nursery are Wellinghton xxx,
Silvergieter schwarze and Mari Negre, on account
of their good productivity and strength.
