Record number of new varieties released to revitalise declining industry
The South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI), which leads the National Apricot Breeding Program, this month released 17 new varieties of the stone fruit at field days in the state’s Riverland.
The new varieties feature higher sugar levels and yields to provide more reliable cropping and better returns particularly for the dried fruit market.
