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...
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...
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...
Anthracnose disease can be successfully controlled by chemical pesticides in conventional fruit growing. However, organic farming, order to maintain environmental safety and fulfill consumer demand for pesticide-free food, the control of this is a major problem. The use biocontrol agents with antagonistic mechanism many phytopathogens an innovative alternative cost-effective eco-friendly production. activities Trichoderma viride Bacillus subtilis were tested vitro against Colletotrichum...
To identify and compare the differences in productivity fruit quality of strawberry cultivar ‘Senga Sengana’ grown open field protected area fruits were harvested 2021 region Western Serbia. The yield, physical (fruit weight, dimensions, firmness), chemical (total soluble solids (TSS), total (TS) invert sugars (IS), sucrose (SUC), titrable acids (TA), pH, sweetness index (TS/TA)) nutritive traits (vitamin C, phenols, anthocyanins antioxidative activity) analyzed. Significantly higher yield...
Effect of pre-harvest calcium chloride (CaCl2) treatment on fruit quality attributes three apple cultivars ('Golden Delicious Reinders®', 'Granny Smith' and 'Red Chief') at harvest after two four months cold storage during consecutive years was studied. Trees were sprayed times starting from the beginning June 20-day intervals. After harvest, fruits stored in a regular atmosphere (RA) for further analysis. Measurements included weight, weight loss, firmness, total soluble solids (TSS),...
The use of different fruit species for primary healthcare and other purposes has progressively increased worldwide in recent years.Many consumers prefer natural compounds from fruits compared to synthetic additives because foodborne pathogens pose a threat public health.Infections caused by bacteria fungi are associated with wide range clinical manifestati-ons, including diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, hemolytic uremic syndrome, death (Boyce et al.,
