-
Evaluating and using germplasm
resources for apricot, peach and almond;
-
Creating new cultivars with a
high genetic resistance to diseases and pests, a high fruit quality,
various ripening periods; creating rootstocks that show a good grafting
compatibility to new cultivars, different vigor, resistance to water
stress in soils.
-
Studying behavior of new
cultivars and rootstocks introduced in Dobrogea’s orchards;
-
Intra-clone selection aimed at
organizing mother, graft-branch orchards;
-
Obtaining biological material
derived from high values, virus-free plants for peach, apricot, cherry,
sour cherry, almond, apple, pear, plum, quince and strawberry;
-
Reducing pollution of fruits and
the environment by using biological and biochemical means and procedures
in controlling pests and diseases;
-
Rebalancing fruit growing
ecological systems by controlling the inter-specific relationships
between host plants, pathogen and pest populations and their
antagonists;
-
Finding technologies of fast
selection of genitors possessing a high natural resistance to
phytopathogens;
-
Conceiving a phytosanitary
complex of integrated control of pests and diseases;
-
Finding of progresses and
scheduling methods against pests & diseases in peach and apricot;
-
Improving fruit growing
technologies by adding new sequences;
-
Determining soil water uptake by
trees for apricot, peach, apple and studying comparatively the use of
various irrigation methods;
