Abstract
The article represents the results of the introduction of American varieties of Vaccinium macrocarpon in the Khabarovsk Territory. Cranberry is of great value in human nutrition due to its high nutritional significance and unique medicinal value. The experience of plantation cultivation of cranberry in the United States, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Poland, and Belarus proves the high efficiency of its cultivation: yields on plantations are tens or even hundreds of times higher than in natural brushwoods. Early, medium and medium-late varieties with high consumer properties are the most suitable for cultivation in the South of the Khabarovsk Territory. The advantages of cranberry cultivation in the region are the wide distribution of peat-like and peaty soils, suitable natural and climatic conditions, experimental confirmation of the possibility to obtain high yields of berries, and a high economic effect. Cranberry cultivation can also help reduce the anthropogenic load on the natural berry fields of the region. The paper provides data on the survivability, length of shoots growth, and yield of these varieties.
