Complex evaluation of wild pear

Abstract

The National Centre for Biodiversity and Gene Conservation (NBGK) started the gene bank collection and agrobotanical evaluation of wild pear varieties in 2022. The survey of individuals and the recording of descriptors was carried out in several rounds. Part of the data was recorded in situ on the field, and the other part was analysed after the trip. For the in-situ collection of wild fruit plant species and varieties, it was necessary to develop a method for the collection and description. This applied to the development of the survey methodology as well as to the design of the working method.
