In the paper there are presented results of investigations concerning
the susceptibility of different apricot genotypes (117 moldovan apricot varieties and
selections, as well as introduced from different ecologo-geografical zones) to
Monilinia laxa, Cytospora cincta, Verticillium albo-atrum and Stigmina carpophila,
cultivated in in pedo-climatic conditions of the Republic of Moldova. A high
manifestation of susceptibility to noticed pathogens where observed in some genotypes
introduced from France, Italy, Canada etc. Some promising genotypes for utilization in
the future apricot breeding and genetics programs, as well as for implementation for
testation in industrial culture regarding resistance to mentioned diseases have been
emphasized.
