Abstract
Three new Korean cultivars of bower actinidia (A. arguta (Sieb. & Zucc.) Planch. ex Miq.) with large fruits and high productivity have been developed.
They were chosen from 168 candidate accessions from wild populations collected in 12 locations and spanning 4 provinces in Korea.
Some characteristics required for commercial cultivation were considered important.
These include the fruit length, fruit width, fruit weight and individual clone yields with observations based on 6 years of measurements.
Finally, the chosen three cultivars are named Sae-Han, Dae-Sung, and Chil-Bo. These cultivars have larger fruit size, heavier fruit and higher productivity than that achieved by the average of other candidate accessions.
Among the three cultivars, the Sae-Han was the most promising cultivar for large fruit size, fruit weight and high productivity per plant.
