Status and development of horticulture in Italy, Emilia-Romagna (review)
Abstract
For many years horticultural companies of Emilia-Romagna (Italy) are leading in production of fruit and vegetables in Italy and Europe, have a wealth of experience and professionalism, offering plant material of innovative varieties accompanied by a high-quality technical support worldwide.
In Italy fruit growing is well developed undoubtedly due to favorable climate for cultivation of almost all fruit crops, a centuries-old tradition of horticultural and scientific support at the highest level. Great interest of fruit producers in high quality products is the basis of mutually beneficial cooperation with public and private research institutions, not only in Italy but all over the world. The usage of modern varieties of a wide range of cultures, development and application of new technological methods of farming practices in the orchards, equipped with the most diverse technical means allows growers to produce high quality Italian products, and import it into the countries all over the world.
Currently the crops had been minor before are planting more: kiwi, chestnut, persimmon, pomegranate, etc., technology and assortment of traditional Italian fruit crops – apricot, peach, nectarine, plum, walnut and table grape are updated.
The review article presents used modern varieties and rootstocks of fruit crops, processing methods and system of orchards.
