Pomology
The ever-changing demands of the market require constant adjustment of the apple assortment in order to guarantee competitiveness. For this reason, new and interesting hybrids from around the world are evaluated for their suitability of cultivation in South Tyrol. Special attention is paid to fruit quality and favourable tree characteristics. Through its own breeding programme, Laimburg develops new varieties with characteristics that meet the demands of the marketplace. Pest resistance is another priority.
Preservation and propagation of apple varieties guarantee certified planting material for tree nurseries and fruit farmers.
- Testing of novel apple varieties, both susceptible and disease-resistant, that were developed in the breeding programmes of the most important apple-producing countries
- Conservation of healthy and pomologically controlled source material for the production of certified trees
- Research in floral biology; evaluation of appropriate pollinators
- Breeding of new varieties with excellent intrinsic qualities and market-oriented characteristics
- Use of new techniques, including molecular biology procedures, to shorten the breeding cycle
- Evaluation of new apple rootstocks
