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,...
Raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) cultivar Willamette has long been the most commonly grown raspberry in Serbia, which is owing to high adaptability of respective agro-environmental conditions. Massive dieback full bearing plantings a major problem growing hence quality planting material must when establishing new plantings. The study was conducted under protected conditions (in screenhouse) on plants obtained by micropropagation vitro. In order achieve optimal vegetative potential, were for two...
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...
Over the 3-year period of study (2005–2007) effects fertigation on vegetative potential, fruit properties, and production apple cultivars Idared Wilmuta were investigated. Fertigation measures, mainly applied over second part growing season, when growth is brought to a close, had positive effect these parameters. Cultivar was more productive. Its fruits larger ripe fertigated in comparison with control cultivar. responded similarly fertigation.
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...
Honey is a natural product which has high nutritional value. Also, it health benefits, the reason for its been used prevention of diseases caused by oxidative stress centuries in many countries. antibacterial and antioxidant properties, are result presence enzymes chemical phytochemical components, where phenolic acids flavonoids play significant role. The aim this study was to examine physico-chemical parameters, properties antimicrobial activity forest-meadow, acacia sunflower honey from...
The aim of the present study was to investigate biological activities extracts obtained from leaf Ziziphus jujuba. To reach this purpose, total phenolic content (TPC), flavonoid (TFC), DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity, as well antibacterial activity were evaluated. phenols in ranged 22.71 28.69 mg GAE/g, flavonoids 5.15 RE/g 8.25 depending on applied extraction method. All showed very high antioxidant activity. ethanol jujuba screened for against Salmonella typhimurium, enteritidis,...
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...
Cross-sections of leaf blades and petioles different strawberry genotypes exhibiting levels resistance to Chaetosiphon fragaefolii were studied using the paraffin method, staining with safranin, crystal violet light green. Besides thicker cell walls cortex collenchyma in more resistant genotypes, a proportionally wider than parenchyma cortex, their midribs are also encircled by ring intensely stained lignified cells forming physical ring. This stain reaction safranin occurs lateral vascular...
