The endocarp or stone is the most stable morphological feature of genus Prunus. However, identification plum types, groups and/or genotypes based on complicated because a wide range variation and transitional states. From this point view, knowledge degree variability within between species cultivars sine qua non for taxonomists also pomologists. In study, different traits, such as SW, linear dimensions (L, W T), D , g S, V shape indexes (φ, SI, E, RS, RO, DE PI) were determined using...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence organic (cattle manure) and inorganic fertilizers [composite NPK (15:15:15)] natural zeolites on soil properties, vegetative growth yield apple plants grown vertisol under Cacak conditions (Western Serbia). results showed that combined fertilization induced a decrease in acidity, an increase humus content, partial total nitrogen (NTOT), and, primarily, rise available phosphorus (P) potassium (K) levels. A highly significant (P < 0.01)...

This study presents results on the performance of apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) genotypes in Central Serbia. The research included observation and recording biological (i.e. phenological) traits situ sampling fruits from 1,210 grafted trees for determination pomological sensorial traits. A total 14 were selected compared with Hungarian Best (control cultivar). difference blossoming time between two years was one month. In 2006, found to be earlier three genotypes, simultaneous five later six...

The fruit of apricot (Prunus armeniaca L., Rosaceae) has been used as food in FYR Macedonia since a long time ago. chemical organic matters from the is kind material for processing and potential nutritional, medical commercial values. results based on physical analyses clearly showed that different genotypes have very important contents soluble solids, individual sugars, titratable acidity limited soil climatic conditions. In addition, these compounds some were higher than those control...

Forty-three European (Prunus domestica L.) and twelve Damson (P. insititia plum accessions originating from different important growing regions in former Yugoslavia were studied to assess the overall degree of polymorphism, detect similarities among agronomic, fruit quality sensorial traits. Twenty variables scored subjected multivariate analysis. Results showed a considerable phenotypic diversity germplasm. A high correlation was found some evaluated variables. Principal component analysis...

Tree growth, productivity, fruit quality attributes, and antioxidant activity were tested in apple cultivar Idared under different fertilization treatments from the 22nd to 23rd year after planting a heavy acidic soil western Serbian conditions. Treatments included use of aged cattle manure, compound NPK (15:15:15) mineral fertilizer, multinutrient fertilizer commercially named Italpolina (ITP) (NPK + organic carbon humic acids), two types N fertilizers (calcium ammonium nitrate [CAN] urea),...

Fruit quality attributes were studied for two consecutive years in seven blackberry cultivars grown a Serbian climate and on acidic soil. Physical parameters [berry weight (BW), size shape] chemical [soluble solids content (SSC), acidity, total phenolic (TPH) flavonoid (TFC) antioxidant capacity (TAC)] evaluated. A high variability was found the set of evaluated significant differences among them all attributes. Year-by-year variations observed traits, except berry length (L) shape index...

From 2008 to 2013 the phenology, early tree growth, precocity, yield, fruit quality attributes and leaf nutrient status of four sweet cherry cultivars (May Early, Germersdorfer, Sunburst Celeste) were evaluated on Colt rootstock in Cacak region (Serbia) with 1,250 trees/ha. The soil type was heavy acidic. results showed that cv. May Early blossomed ripened earlier than other cultivars, had highest vigour, better yield performance poorest physico-chemical attributes. best found which is...

Abstract Soils with unfavourable characteristics (pronounced acidity, disturbed structure, compaction, exhaustion, tiredness, etc.) cover a considerable area of Serbia. Specific crops, the fruit ones in particular, are being grown on these soils, yielding, however, considerably lower yields. The paper presents results two‐year studies effect natural zeolites, organic fertiliser—cattle manure and mineral NPK fertiliser (15:15:15) soil properties yield strawberry blackberry plants shallow...

This study was carried out to determine the growth, fruit size, yield performance and leaf micronutrient status of four Serbian cultivars originated from Fruit Research Institute in Cacak [Čačanska rana (ČRA), Čačanska lepotica (ČLE), najbolja (ČNA), rodna (ČRO)] six introduced [Ruth Gerstetter (RGE), Stanley (STA), Agen (AGE), Opal (OPA), Bluefree (BLU), Violeta (VIO)] grafted on suckers local plum cultivar Belošljiva with high density under limited soil conditions (Western Serbia). The...
