Description
Summary:Climate changes in the Central Chernozem Region has increased the frequency of high evaporativity in the winter and spring, which both separately and in combination with other unfavorable factors intensifies transpiration losses, leading to a decrease in the yield of apple, strawberry, and winter crops. It is necessary to optimize the water regime of plants by selecting varieties with a high water-retaining capacity of one-year shoots and leaves as well as by reducing water losses during their growth.
