THE ASSESSMENT RESULTS OF WALNUT HYBRIDS’ FRUITS QUALITY
 OF DOMESTIC SELECTION

Abstract

The study presents the Belarusian walnuts population assessment results based on the quality of the fruit. It was
 determined that all the studied hybrids, including the Samokhvalovichsky-2 domestic standard, belong to the group of large-fruited,
 with a fruit weight from 12.6 to 52.2 gm. In comparison with the standard hybrids present the highest percentage
 of kernel output 10-5 (45.9 %), P-Kh-1 (40.1 %) and C-2y (42.8 %).
 Walnut fruits tasting assessment and morphological analysis of the studied hybrids made it possible to identify two
 samples – 10-5 and C-2y – with economically valuable features (fruit weight, kernel output, kernel retrievability and taste),
 which are recommended for plant breeding new varieties.
