ON THE GROWTH OF SOLANUM NITIDIBACCATUM BITTER AND SOLANUM X PROCURRENS A.C. LESLIE IN THE UDMURT REPUBLIC

Abstract

The article provides information about the growth of Solanum nitidibaccatum and Solanum x procurrens in the Udmurt Republic. The very first discovery of Solanum nitidibaccatum in the republic dates back to 1992. A list of its locations in the Udmurt Republic is given, and the history of its distribution in Russia is discussed. In Udmurtia, this species is known from two cities (Sarapul, Izhevsk), as well as from the Zavyalovsky district. The largest concentration of its localities is associated with the Zavyalovsky district. The most optimal conditions for the growth of Solanum nitidibaccatum in the Udmurt Republic are the conditions of field ecosystems (especially corn and potato fields), in which this species has become naturalized, shows high coenotic activity and a tendency to further spread. Solanum x procurrens is a hybrid found in co-growing areas of Solanum nitidibaccatum and Solanum nigrum in corn fields in 2020. It is indicated for the first time for the Udmurt Republic and Russia.
