ORES

Ores: Combining Polish Genetics with Professional Yield Standards

The Ores blackcurrant variety has secured its position on the market as a high-performance choice for commercial growers seeking early maturity and industrial resilience. Originating from Polish breeding programs and refined through evaluation by the Ukrainian National Academy of Agrarian Sciences and the Antaria team, Ores represents a modern approach to berry production where stability is as crucial as the final volume of the harvest.

Agronomic Profile and Disease Resistance

The defining characteristic of Ores is its genetic resistance to major berry-growing challenges, specifically powdery mildew and the gall mite (bud mite). This inherent durability significantly lowers the need for intensive chemical applications, making it a reliable performer for sustainable farm management. Its compact growth habit is specifically suited for high-density planting, maximizing output per hectare.

Key Performance Metrics:

• Maturity: Early season producer (40–45 days from bud break).
• Yield Capacity: Highly productive at 5–7 kg per bush.
• Berry Quality: Large, high-quality black berries (1.9–2.5 cm).
• Marketability: High firmness allows for excellent transportability, ensuring berries arrive in top condition.
• Winter Hardiness: Capable of withstanding temperatures as low as -30°C.

Ores is designed for growers who prioritize consistency. The combination of early harvesting, large berry size, and robust resistance makes it an economically sound investment. Whether for local fresh markets or large-scale berry complexes, Ores provides the reliability required to sustain profitable production cycles in diverse climatic conditions.
