Abstract
The article discusses the current state of the genetic resources of the apricot specy and the prospects for its cultivation in the world and the Russian Federation. Data from various literary sources and Internet resources dedicated to this issue were collected and analyzed. The article analyzed the development of culture from 1991 to 2017. Gross fruit harvest, yield and cultivation areas in 68 countries of the world are displayed. There has been marked a growing demand for this crop and, as a result, the expansion of the area of cultivation and gross fruit harvesting has almost doubled since the end of the last century. An increase in production effi ciency due to the introduction of new varieties more adapted to cultivation conditions and the use of innovative technologies was noted. Apricot plantings, according to 2017 data, occupy 560 thousand ha. The main production is concentrated in Asia (54 %) and European countries (27 %). The market leaders are 10 countries: Turkey, Iran, Uzbekistan, Italy, Pakistan, Spain, France, Algeria, Japan and Morocco. They accounted for 2.02 million tons, or about 50 % of the total world gross fruit harvest of this crop. The area of apricot plantations here is from 11 to 125 thousand ha. In Russia, the main landings are concentrated in the south of the country. They occupy about 10 thousand hectares. About 60 thousand tons of products are collected here annually. It is noted that from 1992 to 2017 the apricot yield has doubled, but still inferior to the level of Western countries. The average yield in the country is 5.36 t / ha. This yield parameter is at the level of Pakistan, Algeria and Japan. In Italy, Uzbekistan, France, and others, about 10 tons of fruits are obtained from 1 ha. Based on the analysis, a conclusion was made about the possibility of increasing the gross yield and productivity with a further increase in the level of intensifi cation of production.
