Main characteristics of garlic production in Vojvodina

Abstract

The paper discusses garlic production in the Vojvodina province over a 50-year period (1956-2005) through an analysis of harvested areas, average yields, and total production. The average area planted to garlic in Vojvodina during the said period was 1,714 ha, or about 2% of the overall acreage in vegetables. Most (99.14%) of the garlic production in the province was carried out by individual farmers. In 50-year period, the average yields of garlic vary between 1,998 kg per ha (2005) and 5,501 kg per ha (1959). The variation of the average yield (CV = 18.50%), indicating that the overall garlic production in the province was unstable, which was largely due to the limiting environmental factors. .

U radu su izvršene analize požetih površina, prosečno ostvarenih prinosa i ukupne proizvodnje belog luka u Vojvodini za pedesetogodišnji period (1956-2005). Prosečne površine pod belim lukom u Vojvodini u analiziranom periodu su 1.714 ha, što čini oko 2% površina pod povrćem. Glavni nosioci ove proizvodnje su seljačka gazdinstva sa prosečnim učešćem od 99,14%. U pedesetogodišnjem periodu prosečno ostvareni prinosi belog luka variraju u intervalu od 1.998 kg/ha (2005) do 5.501 kg/ha (1959). Variranje prosečnih prinosa (CV = 18,50%), ukazuje i na nestabilnost ukupne proizvodnje belog luka, što je velikim delom uslovljeno limitirajućim faktorima spoljne sredine. .
