Abstract

Apricot is in high demand among the population of all over the world. The fruits are used fresh and processed. They are distinguished by high technological properties, they are used in the food, confectionery, and perfumery industries. The world produces apricot products from 1 million to 1 million 300 thousand tons per year, An important direction for increasing fruit production is the creation of the most resistant varieties to biotic and abiotic environmental factors. Apricot trees have intensive growth, early fruiting and ripening, and high yields. The lack of varieties with high winter hardiness restrains the wide spread of the crop, but with a rational approach to the choice of region, site for the garden, selection of assortment and with appropriate agricultural techniques, apricots can be productive and profitable. To reduce the growth of trees, clonal rootstocks are required, which determine many economic and biological characteristics of the variety, such as the survival rate of varieties, the strength of tree growth, their early fruiting and yield. Each variety and rootstock is selective in relation to each other, so scientists create rootstocks adapted to certain growing conditions. For a heat-loving crop with intensive tree growth, clonal rootstocks are required, which have high winter hardiness, good propagation by green and woody cuttings and are compatible with apricot varieties.
