Prospects of the development of rural tourism in the conditions of silvicultural production by the way of creation lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium Ait.) plantations

Abstract

Prospects of development of rural tourism in the conditions of silvicultural production by creation plantations of lowbush blueberry are caused by: existence of a significant amount of the lands (50,000 ha of the areas of the developed riding peat bogs) corresponding for cultivation of the berry; low financial expenses on creation and maintenance of plantations; simplicity of receiving landing material; relatively rapid entry into the stage of industrial fruiting of species (for the third year after landing); high berry productivity of plantations (7.9 t of berries from a hectare for the fourth year of fructification); valuable biochemical structure of fruits.
