Variety Red Gauntlet is a productive variety with quality fruits and production can reach 20 t/ha (cultivated in V2 variant) and 36 t/ha (cultivated in V4 variant). The new varieties are very productive and can produce in optimal conditions of culture 40 t/ha (Delicious and Viva). The same performance has and the variety Mara. Fruit production increased with the application of organic fertilizer and soil mulching material. New varieties have a very high yield potential and technological measures stimulated the production and fruit quality.
