MORPHOBIOLOGICAL PARTICULARITIES OF THE PLANTS OF HIGHBUSH BLUEBERRY CULTIVARS INTRODUCED IN BELARUS
Abstract
Article describes the general structure of the aerial part of the plant highbush blueberry based on the results of long-term stationary observations. It shows the features of architectonic generative plant of 20 highbush blueberry cultivars and 3 cultivars of half-highbush blueberry, introduced in Belarus. 20-year-old plants of highbush blueberry reach a height of 1.4–2.1 m, and half-highbush blueberry – 1.3–1.7 m depending on the type in case of Belarus. Plant height of most cultivars of highbush blueberry and half-highbush under item introductions slightly higher than that in the conditions of their homeland, which testifies to the successful implementation of one of the indicators of adaptive capacity in the case of Belarus.
