Characteristics of vegetable cultivars released in 2003.

Abstract

The parsley cultivars NS Molski and Aster were among the newly released vegetable cultivars registered by the Federal Commission for Variety Approval in 2003. They out yielded the standards in a series of long-term multilocation trials and have also performed well with regard to the rest of the traits tested in the trials. NS Molski is a medium late cultivar with a semi-erect rosette around 20 cm tall. The root is white and smooth and weighs about 150-160 g, on average. Root length is around 17 cm, while the neck and middle of the root have diameters of 5-6 and about 3 cm respectively. The root is beet-shaped and has around 6.2% of sucrose and about 18.6% of dry matter. The cultivar has a growing season of approximately 170 days and is intended for fresh consumption and industrial processing for dried use. Because of its characteristics, the roots of this cultivar are suitable for machine-lifting. Aster is a bean genotype with medium large grains of white color shaped as elliptical cylinders. It has determinate growth habit and a stem height of over 40 cm. Its tolerance to dominant bean diseases (bacterial, viral, anthracnose) during the growing season in the field is satisfactory. Aster forms its first pods at a height of around 20 cm, matures uniformly, has high resistance to pod cracking and is suitable for two-phased machine-harvesting. It has a highly delicious taste, meaning it has retained the outstanding flavor of the domestic population it originated from while improving other characteristics necessary for modern intensive bean production. We think that these newly released cultivars of parsley and bean with their good yields and outstanding taste will find a place in commercial agricultural production.

Oplemenjivanje povrća u Naučnom institutu za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo ima za cilj stvaranje sorti koje po svojim osobinama zadovoljavaju zahteve tržišta i poljoprivredne proizvodnje prilagođene našem agroklimatskom području. Zahvaljujući dugogodišnjem oplemenjivačkom radu i bogatom genetskom materijalu povrća u Institutu stvorene se sorte koje u potpunosti zadovoljavaju sve ove zahteve. U ovom radu su iznesene glavne karakteristike sorti povrtarskog bilja priznatih od strane Savezne komisije u 2003. godini i to peršun NS Molski i pasulj Aster.
