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.

ORGANIC FARMING Tested and adapted varieties to organic farming : WONDER COT, TOM COT, PERLE COT, FLAVOR COT, LADY COTPotentially interesting varieties in organic farming : MAGIC COT, DELICE COT, SWIRED

VARIETY PROTECTIONEach 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.

Research and propagationof new fruit varieties

Two varieties are compatiblewhen there is no allele in common.Ex: WONDER COT and LILLY COT

Two varieties are semi-compatiblewhen they have one common allele

Two semi-compatible varieties can pollinateif planted in sufficient quantity

Ex : 2 rows of WONDER COT and 2 rows of MAGIC COT

Two varieties are not compatiblewhen they have the same alleles.

Ex: WONDER COT and SUNNY COT

In order to have a good pollination, the varieties planted in the same field must not belong to the same group of alleles.They must also bloom at the same time.Pollination with bees is necesary.
