ABSTRACT
The study was conducted to investigate conditions and changes in fruit nursery materials in the Lubelskie Province (based on the results from qualified nursery plantations) in the years 1994-2004. Nursery fruit trees and bushes including strawberry reproduction plantations were investigated. It was stated that during the examined period, the average area of nursery plantations increased and the number of nurseries declined. The number of evaluated nursery plantations increased significantly after CAC category of nursery material had been introduced in 2004. It was observed that production of all species of fruit trees and majority of small fruit bushes and young strawberry plants has a tendency to increase. The production structure of fruit trees like apple and cherry trees and small fruit bushes – blackcurrant and raspberry bushes dominated. The results of the study showed that Lubelszczyzna region strengthened its position on a domestic nursery fruit material market.
Key words: nurseries, fruit trees, small fruit bushes, production.
