Abstract

Many regions of the Russian Federation have laid a course for developing horticulture and nursery gardening. In many respects, this became possible due to the increased support of agricultural producers from the state in the form of subsidies at the stage of establishing of orchards and nurseries. Subsidies are provided for establishing of perennial fruit and berry-producing shrubs, fruit and berry shrub nurseries, as well as for expenditures connected with caring for perennial fruit and berry-producing shrubs before coming into commercial fruiting. Establishing of orchards is a labor-intensive process that requires substantiation of the varietal composition of fruit crops (winter, summer, and autumn), planting patterns, and cultivation technologies, as well as the calculation of labor, material and monetary costs. The authors have compiled and calculated technological charts for various planting patterns of apple trees placement in the orchard and substantiated the costs for the following periods: soil preparation, orchard planting, and caring for the young and fruit-bearing orchard. The performed calculations indicate that apple production in the conditions of the Central Chernozem Region of the Russian Federation can be highly profitable and depends on the density of plantings in the orchard, cultivation technology, early maturity capabilities, and cropping capacity of cultivars.
