THE INFLUENCE OF POLLINATORS ON FRUIT SET AND SOME CHARACTERS OF CLOSE APPLES

In the investigation carried for two years some cultivars are tested as pollinators for Close variety. It was found that Yellow Transparent used as pollinator caused the best fruit set and also influenced on the color of apples. Also Starking and Jerseymac gave a good color. Yellow Transparent and Jerseymac caused blushed apples, Primula and Starking striped ones. As far as the influence of the pollinator is concerned some differences in weight but none in shape of fruits were found.
