Healthy plant material that is uniform and genetically pure essential for the successful raspberries production since it guarantees quality consistent yields. A 4-year study (2018–2021) focused on raspberry cultivars “Meeker” “Willamette”, which were propagated by tissue culture (MpP) root suckering (RsP) methods in three irrigation regimes (IR1-100% ETc, IR2-50% IR3-25% ETc). had longer primocanes, higher productivity, sweetness, soluble solids, sugar content IR1. Micropropagated plants...
This research investigated the influence of propagation methods and harvesting time on fruit quality two raspberry cultivars, ‘Meeker’ ‘Willamette’. The plants were propagated through tissue cultre root suckering, fruits picked during three harvest in 2020. study analyzed soluble solids content (SSC), total sugars (TS), titratable acidity (TA), phenolic anthocyanin (TPC TAC), as well antioxidant activity (AA). results showed that SSC TS increased progressed, while TA decreased. higher...
Black fruits, especially blackberries and black currants, are highly appreciated by consumers due to their nutraceutical properties, which have reported health benefits. This study aimed assess the fruit quality of blackberry (cv. ‘Čačanska Bestrna’) currant Crna’) created at Fruit Research Institute, Čačak (Republic Serbia) evaluating basic parameters (fruit weight, soluble solids), content primary (sugars organic acids) secondary (phenolic compounds) metabolites. Additionally, examined...
This study was carried out to evaluate the impact of biofertilizer and cultivar on vegetative potential (height plant, number crowns leaves per area a single leaf), leaf mineral composition (micro- macroelements), yield (number inflorescences fruit set square meter), characteristics (mass, length, width, shape index), chemical traits (soluble solids content, titratable acidity (TA), vitamin C, total anthocyanins (TACY), phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant capacity (TAC)) in fruits Clery,...
The main objective of this study was to investigate and compare the effects fertilizer types on counts soil microorganisms, mineral leaf composition, productivity three strawberry cultivars in period 2012–2013. Two fertilizers were applied—mineral microbiological. Significantly higher number Azotobacter, ammonifiers, oligonitrophils, total microbial count observed under biofertilizers treatment. fungi actinomycetes obtained treatment, compared other treatments. use led most favorable balance...
In order to preserve the quality of apple fruit, it is crucial choose most suitable storage technology. Nevertheless, also important maintain apples during shelf life period. this study, changes in various biochemical parameters ‘Golden Delicious’ and ‘Idared’ a prolonged period, after conventional normal atmosphere (NA) ultra-low oxygen (ULO) storage, were investigated. After harvest, fruit examined cultivars stored two atmospheres for six months. Weight loss, content sugars, organic acids,...
Intensive agricultural development based on the long-term and excessive use of chemical nitrogen fertilizers significantly contributes to a series undesirable effects results in environmental pollution. In line with above, there is pressing need for major changes production management. Bearing mind that fertilization strategy, among other practices, plays an important role improving growing technology different fruit crops, we considered above mentioned problems could be overcome by...
Evaluation was performed of the effect made by integrated and conventional production systems on phenolic composition antioxidant capacity cv. Senga Sengana strawberry grown under greenhouse conditions over two consecutive years. The experiment also involved three different types fertilizer. system provides significantly larger quantities polyphenols as well a higher capacity, compared to values obtained using system. investigation into total phenolics content individual flavonols acids...
Intensive development of agriculture and increasing utilization synthetic nitrogen fertilizers significantly contributes to a series undesirable effects results in excessive environmental pollution. Approximately half all applied boost agricultural production escapes its intended use is lost the environment. Over past years, fruit growing practice has been focused on new concept, which relies primarily application microbial inoculants i.e. biofertilizers. In line with we conducted...
Abstract The aim of this research was to compare the effect conventional fertilization (control) and supplemented with biofertilizer (‘Biovermix’) based on vermicompost microorganisms (treatment), nutritional value different berry species: strawberry (‘Senga Sengana’), blackberry (‘Čačanska Bestrna’) blueberry (‘Aurora’). results showed that biofertilization positively affected fruit weight (8.8 g), soluble solids content (8.9°Bx), sugars (65.6 g kg − 1 FW) all identified phenolic groups...
During 2020 and 2021, the flowering phenophase most important characteristics of trees fruits fourteen in situ collected autochthonous plum genotypes grown area western Serbia were studied.The results showed that none had low vigour, while suckering tendency varied from to extremely high, yield efficiency ranged medium good.All studied characterized by a long period, with '[-GMNe/1' '[-U`K/5' standing out for their very late onset flowering.The tested oval elliptical fruit shape, small stone...
Raspberries are highly valued by consumers due to their nutraceutical properties, which have been associated with various health benefits.The aim of this study was evaluate the differences in quality characteristics fresh raspberry fruits and final products (jam juice) collected from plantations under different agroecological conditions (three localities).The total phenolic content quantified Folin-Ciocalteu method anthocyanin pH-differential method.In same samples, eight elements...
Raspberries are highly valued by consumers due to their nutraceutical properties, which have been associated with various health benefits. The production of red raspberry in the Republic Serbia is characterized a dominance cultivar ‘Willamette’. aim this study was identify fruit quality ‘TulaMagic’, ‘Tulameen’, ‘Amira’, ‘Fertodi Zamatos’, and ‘Willamette’ region Arilje (Western Serbia). highest weight (5.2 g) length (25.8 mm), as well content soluble solids (12.1%), total (6.5%), invert...
Blackberry (Rubus subgen. Rubus Watson) cultivar 'Čačanska Bestrna' has long been the most commonly grown blackberry in Republic of Serbia, owing to its high adaptability respective agro-environmental conditions. In recent years, order increase production biologically valuable food, fruit growing technology directed towards concepts integral and organic production. grey mould (Botrytis cinerea Pers.) is an economically significant agent disease, which during ripening phase reduces yield by...
