Abstract
Sweet cherry (Cerasus avium L.) is one of the most common and popular stone fruit crops, due to the early ripening of highly valuable and tasty fruits. The biological value is determined by the presence of vitamins – A, C, P, E, B1, B2, B6, PP, as well as quercetin, melatonin, pectin, fiber, anthocyanins, polyphenols. The mineral composition of sweet cherry fruits is also rich, consisting of macro – K, Na, Ca, Mg and microelements – Cu, Fe, Zn, Mn. Sweet cherry is a crop of southern origin, therefore it places high demands on agroclimatic conditions of growth, preferring a mild temperate continental climate. Despite the fact that the southern regions of the Russian Federation have all the natural resources for growing such a popular crop as sweet cherry, the processes of global climate change make their own adjustments to the cultivation of all fruits. In such conditions, cherry varieties with a wider range of plasticity to specific, changeable conditions of the southern region are promising. In recent years of observation, with almost annual exposure to various abiotic stressors, varieties of the NCFSCHVW selection were identified – Alaya, Volshebnitsa, Dar Izobiliya, as well as introduced species – Aelita and Melitopolskaya Chernaya, successfully growing in industrial plantations of the Krasnodar Territory
