What varieties of gooseberries and currants will delight the owners of garden plots with the harvest Leading experts on currants at VNIIS them. I. V. Michurina is the head of the department of berry crops - Tatyana Vladimirovna Zhidekhina and a variety specialist Olga Sergeevna Rodyukova. Thanks to their work, at present the Institute has collected and is studying the richest collection of species and varieties of currants.
We have created our own highly productive varieties, which have found their application not only in the Black Earth Region, but throughout Russia. For amateur gardeners, the following varieties of black currant are offered: Green Haze, Kipiana, Little Prince, Tamerlane, Chernavka, Minx, as well as red currant varieties: Viksne, Jonker van Tets, Smolyaninovskaya. Based on the results of many years of research, specialists have proposed and are introducing into industrial gardens a group of black currant varieties: Openwork, Green Haze, Temptation, Kipiana, Little Prince, Selechenskaya, Constellation, etc. Among the varieties of red currants for industrial cultivation, the following varieties are recommended: Bayana, Cream (white fruits), Vika, Viksne, Generous, etc.
The best time for planting currants is autumn. It is planted with two-year-old seedlings. Agrotechnology of currants is in many ways similar to gooseberries. It bears fruit for 2-3 years after planting, but gives an industrial harvest for 4-5 years. Currant fruits are less transportable than gooseberries, but this does not lead to a decrease in their prices. In 2011, in Michurinsk, the cost of 1 kg of fruits of both black and red currants fluctuated around 100 rubles. Despite the wider prevalence of currants, its fruits are in great demand. This is due to the well-established system of their freezing and processing. In winter, on the shelves of supermarkets, there are often currant jams, juices, marmalades, wines, which are easy to prepare at home.
