NEW CHRYSANTHEMUM CULTIVARS IN HUMID SUBTROPICS OF THE BLACK SEA COAST OF KRASNODAR REGION
Among industrial crops chrysanthemum flower takes one of the first places in our country. however, despite the huge variety of cultivars, it requires constant renewal of the existing assortment. today we need to create chrysanthemum cultivars, whose plants would pass the following qualities: ornamentality, cultivar constancy, slight tendency to mutational changes, reliable color formation, adaptation to climatic conditions of damp subtropical climate, high productivity of flower production, good rooting at vegetative propagation, as well as agrotechnical and economic requirements satisfying production needs. as a result of breeding studies from 2006 to 2015 we created 8 following cultivars (which entered in the Register of Breeding achievements of the Russian Federation):‘Yuzhnaya', ‘Symphoniya', ‘Yunost', ‘Alpica' ‘Cameya' ‘Nocturne', Rozovyi Zefir', ‘Solnechnaya'. In 2016. 4 new cultivars were sent to the State Cultivar Commission: ‘Zimneye Utro', ‘Elen', ‘Cadrile', ‘Carnaval'. among the hybrid seedlings 15 promising forms were recorded as candidates to cultivars.
