Agriculture Ministry Recommends Late-Flowering Almond Varieties for Better Harvests
Late-Flowering Almond Varieties Recommended for Cultivation in Kyrgyzstan
The Department of Agricultural Crops and Horticulture Expertise in Kyrgyzstan is recommending the cultivation of late-flowering almond varieties Ferragnes and Ferradwell. According to the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture and Processing Industry, these varieties are ideal for the local climate and have several benefits.
One of the main advantages of these almond varieties is that they are late-flowering, making them less susceptible to spring frosts. Additionally, their yield is regular, providing a consistent harvest for farmers. The plants are also relatively low-maintenance, requiring regular watering in the first few years of growth and then only needing to be watered 2-3 times per season.
Furthermore, the almond root system is known for being powerful and deep, which helps to bind the soil and prevent erosion. This makes them a great option for planting on slopes to help strengthen the land. Additionally, these varieties are fast-fruiting, with a yield of 2 tons per hectare.
Overall, the cultivation of late-flowering almond varieties like Ferragnes and Ferradwell could be a beneficial choice for farmers in Kyrgyzstan looking to diversify their crops and achieve a consistent harvest.
