FRUIT VARIETY RESEARCHCOT INTERNATIONAL is a company specialized in research and propagation of stone fruit varieties.

The target is: - To prospect in the whole world for new varieties - To test the new introduced varieties in its orchards for their behaviour. - The distribution of the most interesting varieties with breeder agreement.

We actually undertake an APRICOT breeding program, in order to improve this specie and offer to our customers the best qualities. Our main selection criteria are the following:

Ripening time : Extending our varietal calendar, from the beginning of May to mid-August

Agronomic characteristics : Self-fertility, important and regular production every year, good tree management, Fruit resistance to harvest, packing and weather problems (rain and wind).

Climatic change adaptation : Our varieties don’t require many chilling hours

Fruit Eating quality : A good balance of sugar / acidity; a juicy and melting texture; good and specific aroma.

Colour : Consumers mainly buying with their eyes, we select apricots with a large red blush present on 30 - 50% of the surface.

Size : Size 2A is the most requested by the buyers. However, we try to select varieties with great potential of size and production to limit thinning and therefore production costs and get the maximum tonnage of 2A.

Firmness : For the resistance to manipulations and for the storage ability.

Tolerance to diseases : Bacteriosis, Sharka, ECA, Xanthomonas, Monilia, etc…

VARIETY DISTRIBUTION Once the varieties selected, we start the process of multiplication of the trees, executed by different nurseries under license with COT INTERNATIONAL (full list can be obtained on demand).

First of all, we proceed to the indexation and the tree cloning to test the sanitary quality. This is to guarantee at the same time, the authenticity of the variety to our customers. These operations are done in very close collaboration with the CTIFL and at the end stands the allocation of the plant certification.

VARIETY PROTECTION Each selected variety is protected within the E U by the Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO). The National Institute of Agronomic Research (INRA) exams the variety and states that the plant is a new variety. Following the technical confirmation of INRA, the CPVO grants a COV, attributing to its holder, the exclusive rights of propagation and merchandising of the new variety.

For all countries not belonging to the E U, we ask for individual national certificates.

Every person, wishing to multiply, to grow trees and to sell fruit of a variety with a COV, must request permission from the holder of the variety.
