Abstract

An important prerequisite for the improvement of cherry production, in addition to the selection of a variety and substrate with good pomological characteristics, is also the assessment of the need for irrigation, as the way in which it will be carried out. The paper presents the results of two-year field experiments (2018.-2019), with the aim of determining the influence of irrigation regime and variety, and their interaction on yield and fruit weight. Three cherry varieties of different ripening periods (Burlat, Skeena, Sweet heart) were tested, grafted onto a weakly lush rootstock of Gisela 5, grown on Eutrichni Cambisol soil. The results showed that in 2018 the Skeena variety had the highest average fruit weight (11.68 g) and yield (9.64 kg/tree), while in 2019 it had the lowest average yield (3.05 kg/tree). In 2019, the Burlat variety had the smallest average fruit weight (7.36 g). Correlation analysis determined the statistical significance of the irrigation regime on the examined parameters of the observed cherry varieties.
