Gooseberry (Grossularia reclinata Mill, order Saxifragaceae) is valuable berry culture. Gooseberry is sufficiently drought – and frost – resistant, its berries are valuable source of vitamins, pectin and organic acids. Influence of Albit on gooseberry was examined by All-Russia Institute of Vegetable Selection and Seed Breeding (Moscow region, 2001) on 3-years old gooseberry shrubs var. Finik. This variety belongs to group of European green-yellow varieties. Shrubs were grown in checkmate order; distance between shrubs was 2 m. Plants were triply treated with Albit solution (1 ml/10 L of water) starting from budding stage. Treatment with biostimulant based on living Pseudomonas aureofasciens bacteria was used as a standard. Both Albit and standard biostimulant provided increase of berry size by 10-20%. Average yield from single Albit-treated shrub was 0.96 kg, whereas control shrubs produced just 0.75 kg of berries. Additional yield of berries due to Albit was 0.21 kg of berries/shrub, or 5.3 centners/hectare (28% over untreated control). Standard biostimulant provided yield increase of just 5.3% over control.
