Assessment of adaptability and biometric parameters of peach germplasm to light-colored sierozem soils under Fergana conditions

Abstract

This article presents the results of research on the evaluation of vegetative growth, fruit quality, and yield performance of fuzzy and fuzzless peach varieties under the light grey soil conditions of the Fergana region. During the studies, among the fuzzless varieties, Ifora 175.0 c/ha and Zarg'aldoq 144.5 c/ha, and among the fuzzy varieties, Elberta 183.7 c/ha demonstrated high adaptability and yield performance under the low-fertility conditions of light grey soils. The obtained results serve as a scientific basis for establishing promising peach plantations and developing intensive agrotechnologies in the region.
