“…They are marked by great differences in terms of biological and pomo-logical traits. Some trees have respectable biological and pomological traits and are commonly grown in plantations around Cacak under different local names, together with the most popular cultivars such as Hungarian Best (over 50%), Krupna Rana, Keckemet Rose, and Roxana as a recent cultivar, due to their high adaptability and modest requirements in terms of environmental conditions and orchard maintenance (Petrović, Milošević 1999). Similar situations can be found in the region of Smederevo (the Danube river valley).…”

“…Major limiting factors in the intensive spread of apricot in Serbia are identical to those in temperate continental and continental parts of Europe: blossoms killed by spring frosts (Milatović et al 2006), sudden (premature) wilting -Apoplexy (Petrović, Milošević 1999), winter killing of flower buds prior to bloom (Djuric 1987;Pejkić et al 1987), Plum pox virus infection in apricot trees and absence of modern growing technologies (Milošević et al 2008). …”

Milošević T., Milošević N., Glišić I., Krška B., 2010. Characteristics of promising apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) genetic resources in Central Serbia based on blossoming period and fruit quality. Hort. Sci. (Prague), 37: 46-55.This study presents results on the performance of apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) genotypes in Central Serbia. The research included observation and recording of biological (i.e. phenological) traits and in situ sampling of fruits from 1,210 grafted trees for determination of pomological and sensorial traits. A total of 14 genotypes were selected and compared with Hungarian Best (control cultivar). The difference in blossoming time between two years was one month. In 2006, blossoming time was found to be earlier in three genotypes, simultaneous in five genotypes and later in six as compared to the control. In 2007, bloom was earlier in four genotypes, simultaneous in four and later in six genotypes. Average fruit weight ranged from 41.34 ± 0.8 to 81.50 ± 4.1 g, T-5 being the only genotype having the fruit weight lower than Hungarian Best (49.07 ± 2.2 g). The content of soluble solids, total sugars, and mineral matter ranged from 15. 72-18.88%, 11.53-14.99%, and 0.29-0.43%, respectively, and total acidity was 0.77-1.08%. The appearance and the skin colour of the genotypes were highly attractive. They have promising traits which suggest that they can be useful parents in apricot breeding programmes.
