Abstract
In Romania, the pear crop is important, ranking third in production value after the plum and apple crops.
Given the economic importance of this crop, considerable efforts have been made to improve cultivars by introducing valuable cultivars and to evaluate the results of breeding programs.
The priority objectives for improving the pear assortment were to select cultivars with high-quality fruit and resistance to the main diseases and pests.
The purpose of this study was to present, for the 2022-2023 period, the behavior of new Romanian genotypes resistant to pear diseases planted in the Experimental Orchard of the Faculty of Horticulture within USAMV Bucharest.
The study was conducted on six cultivars: ‘Euras’, ‘Cristal’, ‘Romcor’, ‘Corina’, ‘Orizont’, and ‘Tudor’, and three new hybrids.
Each cultivar was grafted on two types of rootstocks: quince and franc, the third variant being on its own roots.
The paper presents comparative biometric data for each genotype, including average tree height, type, number, and average length of annual fruiting shoots, as well as trunk cross-sectional area.
