Tridge summary

A research collaboration between SSAU and the Timiryazev Academy has led to significant advancements in the technology for producing healthy blueberry planting material for Vaccinium corymbosum L. using fluorescent lamps and optimized fertilizer doses. This breakthrough is anticipated to boost blueberry yields by up to 15% and serves as a foundation for commercial-scale production. The team is also exploring ways to reduce seedling nutrient media costs and expanding their research to other crops. The findings were published in the highly regarded Forests magazine and funded by the Priority 2030 federal grant program.

A research team of scientists from SSAU and the Timiryazev Academy conducted joint scientific research to improve the technology for obtaining a healthy planting material for tall blueberry Vaccinium corymbosum L. as part of the Priority 2030 program The issues of creating virus-free and resistant to external influences planting material in the Stavropol State Agrarian University have been dealing with for a long time. The Faculty of Agrobiology and Land Resources under the guidance of Professor Alexander Esaulko has achieved significant results in the creation and testing of microcloning technology for garden strawberry and blackberry seedlings. Currently, the university is building up their production to reach a commercial level. Blueberries are next. Scientists studied the effectiveness of fluorescent lamps in comparison with natural light at the stage of plant seedlings rooting in agroperlite substrate and the effect of various doses of fertilizer. As a result, the most ...
