Breeding assessment of hazel productivity in the Chelyabinsk Region, Russia
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Wed, 02/04/2026 - 22:38This article examines the biometric features related to the productivity of hazelnut seedlings in the Southern Urals. In amateur growing regions, hazelnut productivity varies from 0.5 kg/bush to 3.5 kg/bush, occasionally reaching 5.3 kg/bush or less. While hazel is an introduced crop on the eastern slope of the Ural Mountains and is successfully cultivated in household gardens, reliable data on its productivity under these specific conditions are lacking. This study aims to assess the productivity of a representative group of plants grown from seed.
