Yield — Sour Cherry

Prunus cerasus L.

A key economic and biological trait measured in kg/tree or t/ha. The level of productivity depends on the fruiting type, the degree of self-compatibility of the cultivar, and the ability to resist fungal diseases.

In the reference 113 varieties crop Sour cherry, where this is mentioned in the description.

To evaluate the productivity of sour cherry, yield indicators per tree and per unit area are used, as well as a yield index that takes into account the volume or projection area of the crown. The potential productivity of cultivars varies: for cultivars like Shokoladnitsa, it is 77.9–96.6 c/ha, for the Nesvizhskaya cultivar average figures reach 15.7 t/ha, and for Turgenevka — over 20 kg per tree.

The realization of yield potential is determined by the fruiting type: bush-type forms produce a crop on annual growth, while tree-type forms primarily on bouquet branches. An important factor is the self-compatibility of the cultivar; for self-incompatible forms, the selection of pollinators can increase fruit harvest by up to 30%. Productivity also critically depends on the preservation of the leaf apparatus, the infestation of which by coccomycosis or pests leads to a sharp decrease in yield.
