| Abstract:
Interest in small fruit growing is increasing due to the improved characteristics available in some new cultivars. These include adaptability to low input management, early and late-autumn production using primocane cultivars, and resistance to pest and disease. In the mid Adriatic area small fruits are seen as meeting the needs of alternative and integrated crop production. The aim of the present research program is the evaluation of new raspberry and blackberry cultivars, either for the productivity and improved fruit quality, and the identification of the best adapted cultivars to these cultivation conditions. | |
