Biological properties of summer pear cultivars grown in the region of Belgrade

Abstract

Properties of 14 summer pear cultivars at the Experimental Station "Radmilovac" of the Faculty of Agriculture in Belgrade during the period of 2003-2005 were studied. On the basis of studied parameters (time of maturation, cropping, susceptibility to fire blight, physical and chemical fruit properties) the best results were shown by cultivar Precoce di Fiorano (because of early maturing), Star and Santa Maria (because of good cropping) and Butirra Precoce Morettini and William’s Bovey (because of good fruit quality) which can be recommended for commercial growing in the region of Belgrade.

U periodu od 2003. do 2005. godine, na Oglednom dobru "Radmilovac" Poljoprivrednog fakulteta iz Beograda proučavane su biološke osobine 14 sorti krušaka letnjeg vremena zrenja. Na osnovu proučavanih parametara (vreme zrenja, rodnost, osetljivost na bakterijsku plamenjaču, fizičke i hemijske karakteristike ploda), najbolje osobine su ispoljile sorte Rana iz Fiorana (zbog ranog vremena zrenja), Star i Santa Marija (zbog visoke rodnosti) i Rana Moretinijeva i Viljamovka klon "Bovej" (zbog kvaliteta ploda), te se mogu preporučiti za komercijalno gajenje u beogradskom Podunavlju.
