INTRODUCTION TO THE CULTURE OF VIBURNUM VULGARIS FROM NATURAL HABITATS (ALTAI BOTANICAL GARDEN)

Abstract

The article of conservation of plant biodiversity is a common thread in floristic and introduction studies. The Altai Botanical Garden has been carrying out long-term work on the mobilization of genetic resources of wild species of fruit and berry crops. Since 2010, the introduction of the most valuable medicinal plant of Viburnum opulus L. from the natural habitats of the East Kazakhstan region has been carried out. As a result of the research, the ecological and biological features of 28 forms and 47 plants were studied, and data on its high adaptive ability were obtained. Evaluation of wild forms of viburnum by economic and biological characteristics and properties in the introduced population allowed us to select 9 promising forms: Radiant K (28 – 6), K (39 – 6), Pearl necklace K (33 – 7), Shiny K (48 – 9), Stamp K (45 – 1), Small–Leaved K (45 – 2), K (32 – 8), Orbit K (42 - 1), K (32 – 8), Bride K (36 – 7), Golden K (45 – 7), Bordeaux K (30 – 8), K (46 – 7). The purpose of the research was to identify well-adapted, productive forms with high fruit quality.
