Abstract
Black currant is the main berry crop grown in Lithuania.
Between 1993-2001, eight black currant (R. nigrum L.) cultivars were released from the Lithuanian Institute of Horticulture.
They are the early fruiting cultivars Joniniai and Blizgiai and mid-season fruiting cultivars Almiai, Pilenai, Vyciai, Gagatai, Kriviai and Tauriai. Phenological traits, yield, resistance to fungal diseases and pests, chemical analysis and fruit quality of these cultivars are presented in this paper, together with a short description.
