Cultivation factor and storage requirements for apple-tree Golden Delicious varieties in their quality and storability

The main goal of the research was to study influence of growing conditions for the planting apple trees on training of quality and storability of Golden Delicious fruits. As a result of the research, it was found that: the fruits, which were grown on dwarf rootstocks, were better preserved at minus 1 ° C, but the ones were grown on semi-dwarf rootstocks, were better preserved at a temperature of +2 ° C; the persistence of apples, which were grown without irrigation, did not depend on the type of rootstock, a significant difference is proved only between storability of the fruits, which were grown without irrigation and maintaining the soil moisture during the growing season of 80% PV; a soil content in the garden under the cultivation contributes to the formation of high-quality fruits, under a black fallow - improves their storability. The use of a controlled gas environment, which contains C02 -5%, 02-3%, N2- 92%, allows to mitigate the consequences of adverse weather conditions’ effects, various agricultural backgrounds, to extend the storage period for apple fruits and minimize their overall losses.
