Biography of Michurin Wikipedia
Quotes [edit] replacement when casting simple plucking or cutting the upper part of the stamens with pollen boxes of the entire flower corolla with a knife, as the American hybridizer Berbank does, in our areas I find a useless technique, since the saving of time is too insignificant, and meanwhile, the flower loses along with the flower along with with Unnecessary in this case stamens or anthers and others, far from unnecessary for successful fertilization, part.
Especially if we take into account our more dry climate in comparison with the climate of the area of America where G. Berbank works and where the role of a moisturizing cover of the flower corolla is of less importance is far from what we take an example in Russia. For 33 years I had to pour over the sizes of the earth in size, denying myself the most necessary game, not worth the candle.
As you can see, this is the case with the famous Berbank. From that, probably, the Americans are so little manifested by its new varieties, although, according to him, he brought, for example, to thousands of Liliy Book “Luther Berbank”. Of course, on the one hand, this is true, with American scope, so many seedlings of the Dichs can be considered for new varieties, and every copy of which, however, is a “new variety”, only a Dichka, and not suitable for culture in the gardens of a new form of a hybrid plant.
The thigh is on March 2 there, under the influence of a warm climate, such random finds of the best varieties and without a special effort of a person can be found a lot. In our country, and especially in the northern and middle stripes of Russia, under our harsh climatic conditions under this method, you will far from gone a lot of words and little things.
Take as an example a description of the vaccination of the tomato on the nightshade; Well, what, what result did you get? Did the seeds sowed from such vaccinations? Did a new improved plant get? Nothing is known ... and so everywhere in all cases.
White Lilia gave seeds. Well, the seedlings of these seeds gave a plant that can give seeds? Here is a picture of difficult work with heterozygous varieties, but nevertheless I repeat that this path of work with the cultural varieties of perennial fruit plants, if not in scientific, then in an economic and economic sense, is more favorable, giving more imminent and better results.
He needs to give preference to nurseries and only in this way we will not lag behind the general strong growth of our agriculture. On the pages of the foreign, and our Soviet press, my activity is often compared with the work of the American fruiting of Luther Berbank. I think this comparison is wrong. There is a difference in the work methods of Berbank and mine. This was indicated long before the revolution was indicated by American professors who attended my nursery from year to year.
It is necessary to say the same about the whole setting of the case and other private figures in the West, not excluding state experimental stations, from among which there is almost no one, specially working exclusively on the withdrawal of new, qualitatively improved varieties of fruit plants. If you take any American, and Western European trade institutions, the catalog of garden plants, then for decades you will hardly meet a dozen new varieties launched for sale.
The question is, where is the whole of the many thousands of allegedly bred new varieties both to Berbank and all other foreign figures, about which so many and often was written both in foreign and often in our Soviet press. Here, apparently, much of which was written only in the fantasy of writers or in practical application turned out to be unfit. This phenomenon is quite natural, because the conditions of the social life of the bourgeois system are dominated by the conditions of the West, in which almost all activities are reduced to the speculative effect, and the small class top of the figures absorbs almost entirely the entire labor earnings of the working masses.
