Elite varieties of blueberry taking root in Belarus

Elite varieties of blueberry are successfully grown by the number of farms in Belarus. According to the farmers, this trend comes from the fact that Belarus in particular sets the fashion for the berry business among other former Soviet countries.

The laboratory on blueberry seedlings cultivation was created in Belarus two years ago. The seeds material is produced from a cell, using a meristem method, that excludes transfer of viruses and diseases. This is a know-how from the foreign agronomists.

For the present, this is the only laboratory engaged in microclonal reproduction of blueberry, not only in Belarus, but also in Russia and Ukraine. Buds are transplanted into the nutrient solution in test-tube and those from sick plants- perish. Thus, only pure planting stock remains.
