THE KARMEN PEAR CULTIVAR (GRAFTED ONTO QUINCE A) — VALUABLE AGRONOMIC TRAITS OF A PROMISING VARIETY UNDER THE AGRO-CLIMATIC CONDITIONS OF UZBEKISTAN

The article examines the growth, development, productivity, and valuable morphobiological and agronomic traits of the “Karmen” pear cultivar under the agro-climatic conditions of the Jizzakh region. The study was conducted during 2022–2025 in the Sharof Rashidov district territory of the Jizzakh Scientific-Experimental Station. The Karmen cultivar grafted onto Quince A rootstock demonstrated characteristics typical for this rootstock, including a dwarf growth habit, early fruiting, large fruit size, and strong market demand. These traits are widely reported for pear cultivars grafted on Quince A (Cydonia oblonga), which has shown high efficiency in intensive orchards in other studies as well [1].
