PROPAGATION POTENTIAL OF THE BUBNOVSKY PEACH IN THE SOUTHERN FOREST-STEPPE ZONE OF WESTERN SIBERIA

The use of modern biotechnologies based on microbial biopreparations contributes to the restoration of soil microbiological activity and, overall, to the maintenance of ecological balance in the natural environment. The efficacy of microbiological preparations with different modes of action, including fungicidal, soil-improving, anti-stress, growth-stimulating, and symbiotic effects, was evaluated under the conditions of Western Siberia. Microbiological preparations and fertilizers did not demonstrate a stable significant effect on callus formation and root initiation. The use of synthetic plant growth regulators remains a reliable method for the propagation of common peach. The results of the study are of practical relevance for nursery production and for expanding the range of stone fruit crops in regions with high-risk agriculture.
