Pomology

The Pomology (from Latin pomum tree fruit, or Pomona, the goddess of garden fruits), fruit growing, the customer, is the study of species and varieties of fruits and their determination and systematic classification. The term " Pomology " was coined in 1758 by JH Knoop in his work ' Pomologia '.

Developments

First Pomological writings were written in the 18th century. In the 19th century originated with the increase of interest in the breeding of new varieties, many voluminous books, including some illustrated rich, artful works. Centers of the Pomological research were mainly Germany and France.

The historical authors ( the pomologists ) described the fruit usually not only, but bred itself, concerned with the improvement and selection, and devoted much of her time to the scheme and naming.

The current areas of activity for pomologists, however, have strongly shifted into new areas. One of the most important tasks is the collection and preservation of old, threatened with extinction varieties. In addition, the researchers are of long-lost varieties of fruit that are known from the literature or the vernacular. This, in part, the international search are already seeing success.

In the context of thematically appropriate events, the determination and presentation of fruit varieties for visitors are often offered. Meanwhile opinion on professionally landscaped fruit plantations are created to demonstrate that the correct and appropriate for the planned use of fruit were actually used. The problem here is the lack of robustness of certain fruits. Many of the suitable for the professional horticultural production varieties are not able to without the use of typical production tools to survive on an extensive farming area. Incorrect varieties here mean increased costs for future plantings.
