Abstract

This article analyzes the breeding value of studying perspective varieties and forms of sweet chestnut in the Republic of Azerbaijan. Our route observation revealed significant variation in individual traits and ages of sweet chestnut trees in the Sheki-Zagatala region, as well as the presence of trees of varying ages. The oldest tree, for example, is approximately 300-500 years old. Although these trees are few in number, they continue to bear fruit and produce good yields. It was revealed that chestnut plants here vary not only in morphological but also in biological and economic traits.

Classification of sweet chestnut forms. Based on our surveys, we classified promising varieties and forms of edible chestnut:

- by yield;

- by productivity per 1 m² of crown projection;

- by kernel yield;

- by sugar and vitamin C content in the kernel;

- by disease and pest resistance;

- by ripening time.
