| Abstract:
Apricot cultivars and hybrids were obtained from the Centre of Recherches d'Avignon, Unite de Recherches Fruitières Mediterranéennes, within the scientific-technical cooperation between France and Yugoslavia, for studying their behavior in the agroecological conditions of Yugoslavia and screening for the degree of susceptibility to Sharka disease. This paper presents the results of studies on the agronomic and pomological characteristics of 11 apricot cultivars and hybrids, which in preliminary screening conducted in France showed a differing degree of susceptibility to Sharka. The hybrids 804 x 669/33, 804 x 669/234 and 804 x 669 and 804 x 669/133 are distinguished by good quality, satisfactory fruit size and cropping. Screara is a productive, medium sized cultivar, but its fruits soften too quickly and the flesh turns brown. Badami has shown the poorest results, due to its high proneness to fruit cracking, which makes them liable to the attack of Monilinia spp. | |
