Characteristics of vegetable cultivars released in 2000

Abstract

In the year 2000, the Federal Variety Commission registered seven new vegetable cultivars developed at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops: two pepper varieties - Krušnica (sweet pepper) and Plamena (slightly hot); the determinate tomato variety Knjaz; the salad-type cucumber Tajfun; two cultivars of garlic - Bosut and Labud; and the white bean cultivar Balkan. All these newly released cultivars have significantly outyielded the standard cultivars in trials lasting three years. They have also outperformed the standards with regard to the other morphological characteristics, such as fruit mass, fruit length, pericarp thickness, grain mass, dry matter content, bulb mass, clove mass, and others.

Oplemenjivanje povrća u 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. 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 iznesene glavne karakteristike sorti povrća priznatih od strane Savezne komisije u 2000 godini. To su paprike: Krušnica i Plamena; paradajza: Knjaz; beli luk: Bosut i Labud; krastavca: Tajfun te pasulj: Balkan.
