Abstract

The research was conducted in the experimental-production plum orchard during 2013. Some of the most important physical and mechanical properties of the fruit were investigated in three plum cultivars (Cacanska Rana, Cacanska Lepotica i Cacanska Najbolja) grafted on four rootstocks: one generative Myrobalan (Prunus cerasifera Ehrh.) and three vegetative ones (Pixy, St. Julien A and Ferley). St. Julien A induced the highest all three fruit dimensions in Cacanska Najbolja, and length and thickness in Cacanska Lepotica. Myrobalan and Fereley had the same effect in the Cacanska Rana. St. Julien A influenced the biggest fruit firmness in Cacanska Najbolja and the smallest in Cacanska Lepotica.

Highlights

Domestic or European plum (Prunus domestica L.) is the most represented and traditionally the most important fruit species in Serbia
According to data from relevant literature, Serbia was ranked second in Europe in 2017 in terms of production of this fruit species, and fourth in the world, just behind China, Romania and the USA with production of 330 582 t (FAOSTAT, 2019). This means that plum is of great economic and social importance to Serbia
In this study, we evaluated the most important physical and mechanical traits of the fruit of three plum cultivars grafted onto four rootstocks: one generative Myrobalan and three vegetative Pixy, St

Summary

Introduction

Domestic or European plum (Prunus domestica L.) is the most represented and traditionally the most important fruit species in Serbia. Despite being produced in such large quantities, the production itself is still at the level of extensive and semi-intensive, due to the low level of cultivation technology and Plum Pox Virus (PPV), and due to numerous other factors, primarily the instability of the domestic and foreign markets. Considering its importance, both in our country and in the world, intensive work is being done on advancement of plum cultivation. Their behavior in orchards, impacts on tree growth, productivity and fruit quality is very limited for Serbian plum growers.
