| Summary: | Blue honeysuckle has attracted farmers’ attention from ancient times. Honeysuckle is used as a vitamin and therapeutic product. Honeysuckle berries are rich in sweet and acids. Besides, variety of its forms gives an opportunity to create wonderful decoration in living areas of towns and cities. Honeysuckle is of great diversity and wide ecological amplitude. The paper deals with the study of productivity of honeysuckle varieties, introduced in the Republic of Tatarstan to estimate ecological tolerance to climatic conditions of the Predkamie Area of the Republic of Tatarstan. Honeysuckle berries have been assessed on fruit-weight and taste depending on meteorological conditions. The phenological observations have showed that climatic conditions promote early vegetation (09-17 of April). The period of flowering lasts 7-12 days. Berry ripeness occurred in May, 28-29 (in 2012). In 2014 it was on the 1-4 of June. The earliest berry ripeness took place on the 28-29 of May in 2012. The duration of ripening during the years of study was 6-11 days. The most productive varieties ‘Nimfa’, ‘Bakcharskaya’ and ‘Volkhova’ have been selected with productivity of 0.80-0.79 kg of berries per bush, which turned to be stable to cultivation in such soil-climatic conditions. The largest berries have been received from the varieties ‘Dlinnoplodnaya’ and ‘Nimfa’ with 0.80 and 0.79 g respectively. The berries of the varieties ‘Nimfa’ and ‘Volkhova’ possessed the most wonderful taste (5.0 points) than the variety ‘Dlinnoplodnaya’ (4.8) and the variety ‘Bakcharskaya’ (4.7). |
