Characteristics of vegetable cultivars registered in 2004

Abstract

Vegetable breeding at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad has as its objective the development of cultivars with characteristics that meet the requirements of the market, industrial processing, the green market intensive production and human nutrition and are adapted to our country's agroclimatic region. Thanks to the many years of breeding work and a richness of vegetable genetic materials, the Institute has managed to develop vegetable cultivars that fully satisfy all the above requirements. Discussed in the present paper are the main characteristics of vegetable cultivars approved in 2004 by the Serbian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management, namely the cabbage cultivars NS-Futoški, the onion cultivars Alek and the bean cultivars Levač. The late cabbage NS-Futoški and the Tetovac-type bean Levač have been developed by selection from domesticated populations and combine outstanding market and nutritional qualities with high and stabla yields. NS-Futoski is an earlier cultivars than Futoški and has a smaller and more compact head (Tab. 2). The onion Alek has an elongated bulb well wrapped in outer leaves and weighs about 100 g (Tab. 4). It is intended for direct sowing and suitable for increased stand densities during production. The bean Levač is the first domestic tall bean genotype developed as a result of breeding work. According to its grain qualities, white seed coat color, and flat- or kidney-shaped grains weighing over 550 g, it is a Tetovac-type bean. (Tab. 5).

Oplemenjivanje povrća u Naučnom institutu za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo ima za cilj stvaranje sorti koje po svojim osobinama zadovoljavaju zahteve tržišta industrijske prerade, zelene pijace, zahteve intenzivne proizvodnje i ishrane ljudske populacije, a prilagođene su našem agroklimatskom području. Zahvaljujući dugogodišnjem oplemenjivačkom radu i bogatom genetskom materijalu povrća u Institutu stvorene su sorte koje u potpunosti zadovoljavaju sve ove zahteve. U ovom radu su iznešene glavne karakteristike sorti povrtarskog bilja priznatih od strane Ministarstva za poljoprivredu šumarstvo i vodoprivredu republike Srbije u 2004. godini, i to kupusa NS-Futoški; crni luk: Alek; te pasulj: Levač. NS-Futoški, u tipu kasnog kupusa i Levač, u tipu Tetovca, su nastali izborom iz odomaćenih populacija i u sebi spajaju najbolje tržišne kvalitete, nutritivne vrednosti i stabilne i visoke prinose. Alek, sa lukovicama izduženog oblika, namenjen je direktnoj setvi i prilagođen povećanim gustinama proizvodnje.
