Abstract

The improvement of apricot and peach the assortments, with new cultivars which are more productive and resistant to frost and specific diseases, with fruit of good quality is one the basic objective of the breeding programs of the two species. The purpose of this paper is to present the apricot cultivar - De Valu and the peach cultivar - Florica, that were obtained by the team of researchers from RSFG Constanța, patented after 2020. The mentioned cultivars have constant yields and valuable fruits, so it’s deserved to be extended in Romanian orchards.
