| description: | Popularity of a new for Estonia fruit crop, sea buckthorn, is increasing. The key-problem of its cultivating is fruit harvesting. In Estonia, original fruit shaker HK-2 was constructed. However, it requires cultivars with certain morphological parameters being connected with fruit size and mass, its meat-density, length of fruit stalk and its fragility, fruit-shell-strength and degree of ripeness of the fruit. Oil in the most valuable constituent part of the fruit. But cultivars differ in oil and its fractions content. |
