Characteristics of selected sour cherry clones in cultivar Montmorency

Abstract

The cultivar Montmorency belongs to the group of old cultivars, and it is prone to mutations due to a long-term growing. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out positive clonal selection in order to select genotypes with improved characteristics. Based on differences in phonological phases, habit, leaf, fruit and organoleptic characteristics, twelve genotypes, potential clones of cultivar Montmorency, were sekected from commercial orchard of PKB "Voćarske plantaže" Boleč. The aim of this study was to examine selected clones and to establish differences among them, based on the analysis of variance and the individual LSD-test. Based on analysis of variance for properties such as pollen germination, fruit, stone, fruit stem and leaf characteristics, and very significant differences between investigated clones, years of investigation and the clone x year interaction were established. Obtained results distinguish the clone 14 can, because it had the largest fruits and the largest leaf surface. .

Sorta višnje Montmorensi spada u stare sorte, koja je usled dugogodišnjeg gajenja podložna mutacijama, pa je neophodno izvršiti pozitivnu klonsku selekciju kako bi se izdvojili genotipovi sa poboljšanim osobinama. Na bazi razlika u fenološkim fazama, habitusu, listu, plodu i organoleptičkim osobinama, iz proizvodnog zasada PKB "Voćarske plantaže" Boleč, kraj Beograda, selekcionisano je 12 genotipova, potencijanih klonova sorte Montmorensi. Cilj ovog rada bio je da se izdvojeni klonovi prouče i da se metodom analize varijanse i pojedinačnim LSD-testom utvrde značajnosti razlika između ispitivanih klonova. Na osnovu rezultata analize varijanse za klijavost polena, osobine ploda, peteljke ploda, koštice i lista, utvrđene su veoma signifikantne razlike između ispitivanih klonova, godina ispitivanja i interakcije klon x godina. Prema dobijenim rezultatima može se izdvojiti klon 14 koji je imao najkrupniji plod i najveću površinu lista. .
