Abstract

The fundamental objective of this study is to comprehensively investigate the morpho-biological attributes and valuable economic traits of hybrid samples of golden black currant. These hybrid samples are the result of crossbreeding Russian and American varieties. Beyond this, the research endeavors to establish foundational insights that can be employed as primary references in the development of novel cultivars. These cultivars are envisioned to be both fecund and endowed with larger-sized fruits, an abundance of essential vitamins and minerals, as well as adaptability to local environmental conditions. Furthermore, their suitability for extended transportation distances is an essential consideration. In essence, the study aspires to unravel the potential of these hybrid golden black currant varieties, exploring their morphological and biological characteristics, economic viability, and their potential contribution to the nutritional landscape. By assessing their adaptability, nutritional richness, and commercial prospects, we lay the groundwork for the advancement of new cultivars that hold promise not only for local agricultural systems but also for broader markets where they can meet the demands of health-conscious consumers and environmentally sustainable production practices.
