An apricot breeding programme started in 2001 at Agroscope Changins-Wädenswil ACW. The overall goal of this programme was the finding of interesting varieties to replace cv. Luizet, characterised by rapid post-harvest ripening no more required by the market. However, its very good adaptation to the local soil and climatic conditions and excellent flavour make of Luizet an ideal basis for a breeding programme. Six promising hybrids have been preselected for their agronomical, commercial and gustative qualities. They are characterised by early ripening time and regular production over the years. Furthermore, a consumer test revealed a better fruit quality than that of the control Orangered®. Hybrids FG 4118 and FG 4136 were chosen among all for their more regular production and excellent fruit quality. These two selections will soon be commercialised by VariCom Ltd, the marketing company for new ACW varieties.
