TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SOME NEW PROKUPAC CLONES

Abstract

The research carried out in experimental vineyard-collection at Faculty of Agriculture experimental field Radmilovac, which is located at GPS coordinates N 44º 45' 21" and E 20º 34' 53". Experimental vineyard is located at southeast part of Belgrade, at an altitude of 130 m and covers southern exposure. It belongs to Šumadijsko-velikomoravski vineyard area, Belgrade sub-region and Grocka vineyard region. Rows were extending in southeast-northwest direction with line spacing of 3 m and 1 m between vines in row. In experiment tested clones were under codes 40/2, 42/1, 43/1 and 43/3. From technological characteristics in paper is presented data related to weight of biomas discarded in pruning, yield, mechanical composition of berries and cluster, structural indicators of berries and bunches and qualitative parameters-sugar and acid content. The biggest mass of pruning shoots was determiner at clone 40/2 (1.008 kg/vine). The highest yield is recorded at clone 42/1 (7.1 kg/grapevine) and the smallest for clone 43/1 (3.6 kg/vine). Maximum cluster mass was recorded at clone 43/1 (276 g), whereas for clone 40/2 was determined the largest weight of berries meat (254 g) and the biggest seeds number per 100 berries (208). Clones 42/1 and 43/1 are characterized with the highest recorded skin weight of 100 berries (10 and 23 g/100 berry). Same trend was recorded for percent of stem, skin and seed in cluster. Clone 42/1 had the lowest percent of meat in berry (88.21%). According to sugar content were founded the highest level for clones 42/1 (24.1%) and 40/2 (22.4%). Same trend of variation is determined for acid content in grape juice.
