Biološke osobine sorti dunje u beogradskom Podunavlju

Abstract

U periodu od dve godine (2003-2004) na području beogradskog Podunavlja proučavano je devet sorti dunje: Morava, Rea’s Mammoth, Asenica, Hemus, Vranjska, Bereczki, Portugalska, Trijumf, uporedo sa sortom Leskovačka, koja je uzeta kao standard. Proučavane su sledeće osobine: vreme zrenja, rodnost, kao i važnije fizičke i hemijske osobine ploda. Najbolje osobine pokazala je sorta Trijumf i ona se može preporučiti za komercijalno gajenje u beogradskom Podunavlju.

Nine quince cultivars were studied during two-year period (2003 - 2004). The aim of the study was to choose the best cultivars for growing in Belgrade area. Investigations included the time of maturation, productivity, as well as more important physical and chemical fruit properties. Cultivar ’Leskovačka’ was the standard as the most grown quince cultivar in Serbia. Average time of maturation of studied cultivars was from 5 October (’Morava’) to 17 October (Trijumf’). Three cultivars – ’Trijumf’, ’Portugalska’ and ’Vranjska’ had higher yield compared to standard. All cultivars, except ’Brzecki’ had larger fruit than standard. Overall, the best properties were shown by cultivars ’Trijumf’ and it can be recommended for commercial growing in the Belgrade region.
