Investigations at SRL "StarAgro Group" (Ustia village, Criuleni district) were organized in the central fruit-growing area of the Republic of Moldova, with the Kordia cultivar, grafted onto the Maxima 14 rootstock. The vegetative growth of the trees in the cherry variety under study is expressed, in quantitative terms, by the volume of vegetative growth accumulated annually through the height and width of the tree crown, through the size of the surface and volume of the crown, as well as the level of soil coverage by the vegetative ensemble of the trees. The cherry variety, Kordia, grafted on the MaxMa 14 rootstock, had yields from 18.10 kg/tree where pruning was performed during the dormant period, to 19.78 kg/tree in the variant where pruning was performed in early autumn.

Stationary experiments have been carried out using diverse sweet cherry varieties, such as Valerii Cikalov, Record, Ferrovia, Kordia, Regina, Stella, Skeena, Bigarreau Burlat, Lapins, grafted on Cerasus mahaleb, L. and Gisela-6 rootstocks, in various combinations, and which have been planted at diverse planting distances. The trees grafted on the Cerasus mahaleb, L., rootstock have shown rapid growth and an average fruit yield of 15.58-16.12 t/ha during the period of their full productivity. The harvest of the trees grafted on the Gisela 6 and MaxMa 14 rootstocks has been early and amounted to 12.50-14.58 t/ha. The varieties Bigarro Burlat, Ferrovia and Lapins, planted at a distance of 5 x 1.5 m, have given a yield of 17.98-20.07 t/ha, which is 12.2-24.9% higher than that of the trees which have been planted at a distance of 4 x 2.5 m.

The strawberry varieties Marmolada, Aprica, Sibilla, Arosa, and Laetitia and three planting dates were taken as the object of research - mid-June, mid-July, and mid-August. The plantation was established in the summer of 2021, research was carried out during 2022-2023. Research has shown that early planting periods contributed to good tillering and the formation of 3.5 to 4.4 fruiting shoots per bush, as well as a well-developed leaf surface, not significantly different from the second year of the growing season while planting in mid-August led to a reduction in the number of leaves by 2.3 – 2.9 times. The most productive among the studied varieties was the Laetitia variety, which in total for 2 years of fruiting amounted to 55.69 t/ha. The varieties Aprica and Sibilla have the fastest ripening of berries. The most optimal time for planting “frigo” seedlings for the conditions of Moldova is the first ten days of July, which contributes to obtaining the first harvest more than 2 times higher compared to the recommended planting in mid-August.

The goal was to identify the most productive, visually appealing, and resilient varieties suitable for commercial use.
