The study self-fertility of perspective cherry cultivars in the Lower Volga region for focused selection and creation of monolitnykh spaces

As a result of long-term field trials in the conditions of the Lower Volga region in the level of self-fertility, prospective varieties of cherry of the ordinary domestic breeding Loznovskaya, Garantiya, Tilda, Sharada, Lyubimitsa, Athena, Melody, Autonomna, Lexma, Lydia, Ceres, Dubovskaya Fertile, Colorful, Reliable and Hybrid No. 2516.
