PREFACE Dear Colleagues, Food security challenge as well as increasing demand for fibre and fuel (i.e. biodiesel and bioethanol) determine multiple roles of agriculture in all countries. Conventional agricultural production methods allowed increasing food production but have led to a number of negative impacts. These negative impacts raise serious questions about long-term sustainability of high-input and industrial agriculture. Sustainable agriculture and forestry practices aim to reduce environmental harms associated with industrial agriculture thus producing high quality foodstuffs while ensuring soil conservation, maintaining water quality and preserving biodiversity. Organic agriculture is a relatively new farming system promoting holistic approach to plant and animal production. Sustainable agriculture is also of paramount importance for developing vibrant rural economies. The International Scientific Agricultural Symposium “Agrosym” has become an annual platform for international scientific discussion on agriculture, forestry, food, rural development and environment. Agrosym represents, indeed, a good opportunity to exchange ideas, to strengthen existing and to create new academic networks, and to foster dialogue between the academia, public institutions, the private sector and civil society organizations on the recent global and regional trends in the agro-food sector. In the present Book of Abstracts of “Agrosym 2015” are included 746 accepted contributions from 71 countries. It comprises both submissions accepted for oral and poster presentations. Agrosym 2015 covers the following thematic areas: plant production, plant protection and food safety, organic agriculture, environment protection and natural resources management, animal husbandry, rural development and agroeconomy, and forestry and agroforestry. Positively reviewed full texts of the submitted contributions will be included in the Proceedings of the symposium and published on the official website (http://www.agrosym.rs.ba). I hope that the multidisciplinary results reported in this Book of Abstracts will contribute to the dissemination of knowledge and good practices to all actors of the agro-food chain (e.g. farmers, extension agents, researchers, policy makers) as well as the general public about the importance of agriculture and food science, one of the most important strategic areas of many national research strategies. I hope also that Agrosym 2015 will enable better collaboration of scientists, researchers and professionals from Balkan countries and abroad to address jointly pressing challenges. Many thanks to all authors, reviewers, session moderators and colleagues for their valuable help and unconditional devotion that helped making also the edition of this year of Agrosym a real success. Special thanks go also to all co-organizers, partners and sponsors for their unselfish collaboration and comprehensive support.

10.7251/AGSY0615001B TOWARDS A NEW PARADIGM OF INNOVATION IN THE BIOECONOMY John M. BRYDEN Research Professor, NIBIO Grounded Innovation Group, Norway Emeritus Professor, University of Aberdeen, Scotland *Corresponding author: [email protected]

Abstract In this keynote address, I will outline two very different paradigms of innovation – the ‘old’ and the ‘new’. I will argue (a) that the new paradigm is necessary to achieve a more economically, socially and environmentally sustainable bioeconomy, and (b) that cases of the new innovation paradigm can be observed in the real world, many as ‘initiatives from below’. I will set the scene by discussing the nature of innovation, who it is for, what its normative premises are, and what they ought to be to meet the goals of sustainability and respect for human rights. I will also discuss the special features of the ‘bioeconomy’ that make the new paradigm particularly important in this rapidly growing field. I will end with a discussion of what the new paradigm looks like in practice, and how it can be fostered and supported by public policies. Keywords: New paradigm, innovation, bioeconomy.

Abstract Horizon 2020 is the EU’s flagship funding programme for research and innovation. Although more money is available for H2020 than for the previous (FP7), and the Commission has made it easier for scientists to apply for projects, success rates so far (March, 2015) have been slightly less than for FP7. Most agricultural sciences projects (Societal Challenge 2, SFS) are Research and Innovation Actions (RIA), with a few Innovation Actions (IA) and support actions (CSA). So far, the average success rate for SFS RIAs has been 15%, which means only one proposal in 6-7 gets funded, despite most proposals being written by experienced EU researchers with previous project funding track records. Therefore, writing a H2020 proposal for research in the agricultural sciences and getting it funded will be a very great challenge. However, this is where most support and encouragement from national authorities is targeted - persuading scientists to write project proposals. So far, the average consortium for funded SFS RIA research projects in H2020 has had 20 grant participants. That means, 95% of consortium participants do not write the proposals themselves, but are partners in other people’s consortia. That means, 95% of partners write only around two pages instead of around 100 pages (including annexes) - the length of a typical RIA project proposal. Therefore, the “easy” way to get involved in H2020 is to be invited to join someone else’s project consortium. That means effective networking, so others are likely to invite you. Advice on networking will be given. Keywords: H2020, project proposals, agricultural sciences, partner, networking.

Abstract In 2015 world is commemorating 150 years since Gregor Mendel presented his lectures Experiments in Plant Hybridization (Versuche über Plflanzen-hybriden), on the 8th of February and March 1865. He presented, for the first time, the results of his research into breeding peas and other plants that he had been performing for a number of years in the gardens of the Augustinian monastery in Old Brno at a meeting of the Natural Science Society in Brno (Verhandlungen des naturforschenden Vereines in Brünn). Using the garden as a genetics laboratory, Gregor Mendel could manipulate and select for certain traits to formulate and test out his hypotheses about mechanisms of inheritance and distribution of traits in offspring. In order to trace the transmission of traits, he chose seven pea traits that were expressed in a distinctive manner, such as plant height (short or tall), seed color (green or yellow), etc. The F1 of crossing varieties that differed in one trait- for instance tall x short, displayed the trait of one variety but not that of the other. He observed that the plant height was a trait that was passed on to progeny independently from other traits. In Mendel’s terms, one character was dominant and the other recessive. The recessive character reappeared in F2, and the proportion of offspring bearing the dominant to offspring bearing the recessive was very close to a 3 to 1 ratio. After seven years of research and analyses of thousands pea plants, Mendels observational talent and mathematics knowledge were base for the defining of three principles, often known as Mendel's principles of heredity- Law of dominance, Law of segregation and Law of independent assortment, which are the essential for the Mendelian genetics and heredity. Remarkably, Mendel described elements of DNA-based inheritance in the absence of any knowledge of the molecular biology behind it. His important contributions to the field of genetics continue to influence modern scientists and every geneticist or genetics student has heard his name. Although initially well-received, Mendel’s work was not given proper appreciation during his lifetime, even after it was published in 1866. In fact, over the next 35 years, this paper was only cited three times. The genetics became more important at the beginning of the 20th century when three different research groups (Dutch botanist and geneticist Hugo de Vries, German botanist and geneticist Carl Erich Correns, and Austrian botanist Erich von Tschermak with their co-workers) independently re-discovered Mendel’s Laws. Biologist William Bateson became the strong supporter of Mendel’s theory and later zoologist and geneticist Thomas Hunt Morgan located the genes on the chromosomes. As the architect of genetic experimental and statistical analysis, Mendel remains the acknowledged father of genetics.

Key words: Gregor Mendel, genetics, inheritance, dominant, recessive.

10.7251/AGSY0615004Z THE NEXUS BETWEEN SOIL QUALITY AND FOOD SECURITY IN THE SOUTHERN MEDITERRANEAN REGION Pandi ZDRULI International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies (CIHEAM) Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Bari, Via Ceglie 9, 70010 Valenzano, Bari, Italy *Corresponding author: [email protected]

Abstract The Mediterranean is undergoing tremendous political, economic, social and environmental changes and many challenges lie ahead but fears are that food security may be the next major “trouble” for an area that has seen many of them throughout its history. The region is best described for its limited natural resources especially land and water, its rich biodiversity and by high population growth rates especially in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region1 . Only 14 % of the land in the Mediterranean region is suitable for crop production but this figure drops to 5 % in the MENA and in extreme cases such as Libya is less than 2 %. All the rest of the land is either dry, desert, rocky, saline, eroded or sealed by urbanisation. The situation along the coast, where much of the best soils are located is even worst as 40 % of the Mediterranean coast is already urbanised and if such trends continue by 2050 fifty percent of the coastal croplands would be converted to urbanised areas. Paradoxically, population is increasing at much higher rate in the MENA where land and water resources are extremely limited. Climate change effects are already taking their toll as the region is becoming drier and hotter imposing considerable negative consequences on crop production, biodiversity loss, reduction of ecosystems services and overall compromised environmental sustainability. The present situation for the MENA countries shows that even by the most optimistic scenarios, not only at present, but also on the medium and long term periods the region can’t meet the goal of being self food sufficient through its own agricultural production and hence food-safe. These countries will continue to rely on food imports compensated largely from the fossil fuel exports and tourism revenues as long as these resources would be available. Widespread land degradation and desertification but especially the inefficient and inequitable use of water, lie at the roots of many problems the region is facing, and yet, effective solutions remain elusive. The nexus between soil quality and its relationship with food security in the Mediterranean indicate that natural resource degradation often receive a “back seat” position in the Governmental agendas. It can be reversed however, if it is caught up early and there is a political will to stop it. Research results show that there are many options available for its recovery through sustainable land and water management, biodiversity conservation, efficient use of energy sources and mitigation/adaptation actions to climate change.

Key words: soil quality, food security, southern mediterranean region.

Abstract In the Czech Republic there is more than 50% of agricultural land exposed to water erosion. It is a very urgent problem at present and mainly for the future. The goal of legislation is to protect soil against soil erosion especially on slope areas. The payment of direct support for farmers and other selected subsidies depends on fulfilment of the Statutory Management Requirements (SMR) and Good Agricultural and Environmental Conditions (DZES), which are standards of the cross compliance system. The restrictions are concerned to cultivation of wide-row crops in seriously and slightly endangered areas by erosion. In seriously endangered areas, wide-row crops (maize, sugar beet, potatoes, sunflower, bean, soybean and sorghum) are not allowed to grow. In slightly endangered areas, growing of wide-row crops is allowed, but using conservation tillage, where limits for minimum crop residue coverage were defined. Conservation tillage systems with their modification are increasingly being introduced under the economic pressure on the fields of the Czech Republic. Reducing tillage operations improves soil surface properties, including improved soil aggregation accounting for increased infiltration and percolation; less compaction due to less usage and more biological activity due to an increase in organic matter. Adding soil surface cover increases water infiltration, reducing soil drying and maintains available water for crops. Apart from above mentioned approaches in soil tillage, new crop management practices are tested with potential effect against erosion. In maize, systems based on narrower spacing and higher stand density, are evaluated in different locations of the Czech Republic. Keywords: soil erosion, conservation tillage, legislation rules.

Abstract The role of agricultural advisory services in the second half of the 20th century both in the Republic of Serbia and in other countries of former Yugoslavia consisted primarily of collecting information, innovations and knowledge from agricultural research and educational institutions and transferring them to the farmers, in order to increase production and labour productivity, and to introduce innovations and technological progress into farming practices. Advisory services mainly comprised activities related to biological, technical and technological knowledge in agriculture. The structure of employed advisers confirms this fact (only 6.6% of advisers in Serbia are agricultural economists). Development of market economy has put a focus on economic aspects of production, so agricultural advisory was faced with the need to expand its scope of work, switching to the “market-oriented“ mission, which requires the introduction of an increasingly wider range of agro-economic knowledge in the activities' programme of advisory services. The European integration processes have confirmed and strengthened this tendency. The paper analyses the state of agricultural advisory services in the Republic of Serbia and its development perspectives concerning agro-economic knowledge and activities imposed as an imperative for the current agricultural and rural development stage, as well as the preparation processes for European integration. In addition to the methodological procedures commonly used for this type of research (desk research, the method of deduction, descriptive statistics), the authors also used the results of the survey conducted in April and June 2015 on the sample of about 30% of advisers who work in Central Serbia. The results show that most of the advisers think their scope of work has been increased in the last few years by agro-economic activities, and therefore they need some additional training on agro-economics. Since 2010 the Institute for Science Application in Agriculture (IPN), as an appointed training institution, has been constantly incorporating agro-economic courses for advisers into annual training plans. It is necessary for the Agricultural Advisory Service of Serbia to strengthen its capacities – to employ more agricultural economists and continue to organise regular training courses for the existing staff, especially in domain of agricultural economics. Key words: agricultural advisory, agro-economic knowledge, European integration, Serbia.

Abstract In the high elevation area of Algeria early genotypes of durum wheat (Tr. Durum Desf) suffer seriously from low temperature damage during cold season. Developing genotypes resistant to low temperature stress appear critical to ovoid crop failure and to improve grain yield. Cold tolerance is a complex mechanism linked to ecophysiological and biochemical changes. The present study was conducted at the agricultural experimental station of National Institute of agricultural research of Algeria (INRAA). The objectives of this study were to determine the period risk of low temperature; to evaluate the genotypic variability for resistance to low temperatures through several physiological tests (crown, leaves, spike) and biochemical tests (proline and soluble sugars) and to investigate the relationships between the results of such tests, and the agronomics performances of a set of durum wheat. These tests enabled genotypes to be differentiated on the basis of their cold tolerance. The results identified however early, freezing tolerant genotypes such as Cyprus1 and Waha which can be used as genetic source to improve tolerance to low temperatures. Keywords: Triticum durum Desf., low temperature, physiological and biochemical changes, yield.

Abstract Drought is a worldwide issue that impacts seriously on the security of food production. The aim of this research was to study the effect of soil water deficit on some physiological parameters of durum and bread wheat genotypes. Gas exchange parameters of flag leaf measured by using LI-COR 6400-XT Portable Photosynthesis System. Drought caused of reduction photosynthesis rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration rate (E), mesophyll conductance (gm), photosynthetic pigments content, leaf area (LA), dry weight (DW), relative water content (RWC) of flag leaf. Leaf specific mass (LSM) was increased under rain-fed condition. Strong relationships were detected between gs and E, between gm and Pn. The Pn was positively and significantly correlated with LA, RWC, and DW but non-significantly correlated with Chl content. Physiological traits can be used as selection criteria for drought resistance. Key words: wheat, soil water deficit, gas exchange parameters, yield

Abstract Modern agricultural production implies irrational application of large amounts of pesticides and fertilizers, which significantly reduces the quality and fertility of agricultural land, adversely affect the environment and reflect on food quality and human health. French beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the crop which in our production conditions are grown in the greenhouse as early in the spring or autumn that matures in October. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of microbiological fertilizer individually and in combination with mineral fertilizer on the physical and chemical properties of the fruit French beans. Sampling as well as fruit length, width and weight were recorded at the stage of full maturity. As part of chemical analysis of the fruit, total content of nitrogen, nitrate, protein and dry matter was determined. According to the results of research the largest value of analyzed physical parameter were registered in variety of microbiological fertilizer in combination with mineral one. The largest values of chemical composition parameter of French beans fruits were registered in variety with only mineral fertilizer. Significantly, the lowest nitrate content was observed in variants with an example of only microbiological fertilizer applied. Key words: French bean, greenhouse, fertilizer.

Abstract Seed aging is one of the main causes of reducing vigor, germination and emergence of Birdsfoot trefoil’s seed. In this study, the vigor of domestic birdsfoot trefoil genotypes tested in field conditions. Seeds collected from the local population of 20 genotypes; 10 genotypes from 5 till 6 years old and 10 genotypes seed from 15-16 years old was examined. The seeds were stored in paper packaging in storage conditions. The viability of seeds represents a potential for formation of a new plant. The aim of this study is to determine the seed germination under field conditions and to obtain new plants capable for reproduction. Based on the results of field trials, can be concluded that germination for genotypes of seed from 15 till 16 years old has the high degree of variation (7-48%), while the genotypes of seed from 5-6 years old, interval of variation was lower (71-92%). Age of seeds had no effect on the production of green mass and seed yield. On the basis of the examination of the seed germination of local genotypes Lotus corniculatus L., it can be concluded that this plant species belongs to the group of plants with macrobiotic seed. Keywords: seed vigor, seed age, germination, sprouting.

10.7251/AGSY0615011A DETERMINATION OF TOTAL PHENOLS AND ANTIOXIDATIVE ACTIVITY OF RED SWEET AND HOT PEPPER Zilha ASIMOVIC*, Dragana RAJIC, Lejla CENGIC, Seval MUMINOVIC, Lutvija KARIC, Selma CORBO University of Sarajevo, Faculty of Agriculture and Food Sciences, Bosnia and Herzegovina *Corresponding Autor: [email protected]

Abstract In this paper the total phenols content and antioxidative activity of milled red (sweet and hot) pepper were determined. For extraction (90-95oC for 15 min), distilled water and methanol/water (30%) were used as solvents. The aim was to determine the total phenol content and antioxidant activity in sweet and hot pepper red spicy peppers using methanol and distilled water extracts.The total phenols (TP) content (n=20), was determined spectrophotemetrically using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent at 600nm, and antioxidant activity by PFRAP method (with color reaction at 700nm). The obtained data shows that highest (TP) content was found in sweet pepper 626.71 (in distilled water extract) and 368,27mg GA/100 of DW in 30% methanol extract. The average content of antioxidant activity of sweet spice pepper extract (distilled water) is 52.31mgGA /100g, while the value of hot pepper is 47.25mgGA /100g. The methanol extract mild red pepper is 9.18 mgGA/100g, while hot pepper is slightly higher (17.29 mgGA /100g). It can be concluded that TP and the antioxidant activity of pepper was not affected by kinds of peppers (sweet or hot), but were affected by the solvent. The LSD test indicated that the difference in the antioxidant activity was significant, using two solvents (water and methanol/water). It showed that antioxidative activity was in correlation with total phenols content. Key words: Red pepper, phenol content, antioxidative activity, distilled water, methanol.

10.7251/AGSY0615012P EFFECT OF THE DATE OF APPLICATION OF HERBICIDES ON THE PRODUCTIVITY OF COMMON WINTER WHEAT Emil PENCHEV, Zornitsa PETROVA Dobrudzha Agricultural Institute – General Toshevo 9520, Bulgaria *Corresponding author: [email protected]

Abstract The effect of the herbicides Derby Super VG, Granstar 75 DF, Lintur 70 VG, Secator OD, Mustang 306.25 SK, Palace 75 VG and Husar Max OD, applied at different phenophases, on the productivity of two major common winter wheat varieties (Enola and Aglika) was investigated. Five-factor dispersion analysis was used to evaluate the effect of the factors genotype, climatic conditions, sowing date, herbicides and phenophase of treatment. As a result from the investigations carried out on the date of treatment with the herbicides and its influence on the productivity of common winter wheat it was found out that best results were obtained after using the herbicides at tillering stage. Regardless of the cultivar or the sowing date, lowest losses of wheat were observed after treatment with the preparations Derby Super VG and Secator OD. The application of the herbicides at the end of tillering allowed wheat to realized its highest productivity regardless of the sowing date or the cultivar used. The application of the herbicides at phenophase first-third node was related to lower efficiency of some of them as Granstar 75DF, Palace 75WG and Husar Max OD. After the use of Derby super VG and Secator OD at this phenophase, no significant decrease was found neither in the efficiency against weeds nor in wheat productivity. The use of herbicides at phenophase emergence of flag leaf was accompanied with further decrease of wheat productivity. On the one hand, this was due to the growth of weeds and the lower efficiency of the used herbicides, and on the other – to increasing of toxicity on wheat caused by some herbicides. Due to the higher toxicity of the herbicides Lintur 70VG and Mustang 306.25 CK on wheat, greatest yield decrease was registered after using them at this phenophase. The influence of factors “phase of treatment“ and “climatic conditions” was proved with the highest statistical significance, and the factor “date of sowing” - with the lowest one. Key words : winter wheat, herbicides, productivity.

Abstract A field experiment was carried out in the Saedinenie region, Plovdiv municipality, Bulgaria in the period 2013-2014. The basic grain quality characteristics of rice were studied within two Turkish (Osmanchik 97 – standard for Bulgaria, and Gala) and four Italian (Lince, Puma, Cameo and Brio) rice varieties. The following indicators were recorded: mass of 1000 grains, hectoliter mass and some biochemical indicators such as: starch content, crude protein and crude fats – in % of absolute dry substance. The sowing took place in the period 13-16 May involving the split plot design in four repetitions over an area of 14,85 m2 at a sowing rate of 600 k.s./m2. Rice was previously grown in the same area. The applied fertilization rate was N7P18. The experiment was performed in conformity with an approved Bulgarian growing technology – the flooding irrigation regime. The statistical processing of experimental data was carried out via SPSS V.9.0 for Microsoft Windows. On the average, it was defined that varieties Cameo – 37,11 g/1000 grains and Osmanchik 97 – 34,35g/1000 grains were outlined for largest grains within the stated period. The smallest grain size was observed with the Brio variety. The grain hectoliter mass of the tested varieties showed close values – between 43,25 kg (Cameo) and 44,60 kg (Brio). Only the Puma variety stood out with higher mass (48,88 kg). For the period, the Turkish varieties Gala (8,80%) and Osmanchik 97 (8,30%) registered highest protein content on the average under Bulgarian conditions, followed by the Italian varieties Cameo (8,39%) and Lince (8,28%). Osmanchik 97 accumulated highest quantity of starch – 78,98%, followed by Brio – 76,70% and Linche – 76,69%. Crude fats stayed within the range from 3,42 (Brio) to 3,87% (Osmanchik 97). Keywords: rice, protein, starch, fats, grain quality characteristics.

Abstract The normal growth of most crops ensures in an average annual rainfall 600800mm. The average annual rainfall in the studied area was 830 mm (with a confidence interval 804-856 mm), and was sufficient to provide the necessary moisture for vegetation for the crops with deep root system. For other crops was necessary to provide irrigation. The terrain is located in the area of Elena town and was in erosive danger. Crop irrigation by gravity way can lead to the intensity of the erosion process and disinterment of the topsoil humus-elluvial layer of the rows. The established values of the indicator pH in the studied plots were significant restriction for the growth of the proposed crops for cultivation. For creation of better conditions for crops growth needs liming on the plots with identified soil acidity. The exceedances of the established concentrations of the easily-mobile exchangeable aluminium and hydrogen, toward conventional limit for toxicity were minor and determine low level of acid toxicity of the soil for the plants. The average content of exchangeable manganese, found in the subsoil horizon exceeds the registered content for the cultivated layer. There is not a tendency of biological accumulation of manganese in the topsoil horizons. Key words: soil, fertilization rates, berries, medical plants.

Abstract The objective of this study was the allelic variation at the Glu-1 locus of selected advanced lines from ten cross-combinations, obtained by crossing synthetic hexaploids (2n=42, BBAuAuDtDt) with bread wheat varieties. In total, 52 genotypes in BC1F4 and BC3 were investigated by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and grouped in 20 HMW-GS combinations at the three loci of group 1 chromosomes (Glu-A1, Glu-B1 and Glu-D1). At the Glu-D1 locus, the genetic diversity was relatively high-H=0.63, as calculated by Nei index. Maximum concentration of hereditary material in favorable quality subunits 1Dx5+1Dy10 and 1Dx1.5+1Dy10 was observed. The subunit pair 1Dx1.5 + 1Dy10, coding by ah allele, was different from the T. aestivum genes. This allele was inherited from Aegilops tauschii (2n=14, DtDt) through the synthetic wheat and might have a significant effect on the bread-making quality in bread wheat. The average score of the high molecular glutenin combinations was calculated as 6.50. According to its share in the formation of this value, the investigated loci ranked as followed: Glu-B1>GluA1>Glu-D1. Twelve biotypes showed subunit 1Ax1.1, that is uncommon for the bread wheat, representing a reservoir of expanding allelic diversity for HMW-GS along with the Dt-genome derived genes.

Abstract Stripe rust is an important disease on wheat which can cause significant yield losses and deteriorate grain quality. The ability of the pathogen to mutate and replicate quickly, as well as to overcome vast spaces airborne makes it threatening to the resistance of the new cultivars. This imposes the necessity to constantly work on the development of new improved cultivars with higher durable resistance. Our investigation presents the results from the study on the resistance of common winter wheat lines under natural infection of P. striiformis. Fifty-nine common winter wheat lines at adult stage were tested for resistance to a natural population of P. striiformis at Dobrudzha Agricultural Institute – General Toshevo, Bulgaria during season 2013 – 2014. A certain degree of resistance was shown by 71 % of the lines. In 8.4 % of the lines there was no attack by stripe rust. High resistance was found in 17 % of the investigated material. The lines which reacted as resistant were 33.9 %, while moderate resistance was found in 11.8 % of the lines. In a large part of the investigated material the resistance to stripe rust was combined with good field resistance to leaf and stem rust and to powdery mildew, and with other valuable properties such as high bio chemical index of grain determined in our previous investigations. The purposeful use of own and foreign sources of resistance in breeding has lead to the development of initial material combining disease resistance with other valuable economic properties. Keywords: resistance, common wheat lines, P. striiformis, natural infection.

Abstract Wheat is the most important cereal crop in global agricultural economy and cultivated in diverse agroclimatic regions of the world. Breeding for disease resistance is the most economically and environmentally safe method to reduce crop losses. The long term success of breeding for disease resistance depends on the nature of the pathogen and virulence spectra in the pathogen population, the availability, diversity and type of genetic resistance in the host and the methodology for screening and selection for resistance. During 2010-2012, under the conditions of the infection field of Dobrudzha Agricultural Institute – General Toshevo, Bulgaria, 800 common winter wheat lines were tested to a population of races of the cause agent of leaf rust P. triticina. Forty-eight of the lines, which demonstrated resistance under field conditions, were tested to individual pathotypes of the pathogen at seedling stage under controlled conditions. The tested lines, which exhibited a certain degree of resistance at seedling and adult stages, carried both race specific and race nonspecific resistance. The combination of various mechanisms of resistance is highly significant for the durability of resistance. In this relation, the investigated 48 lines can be considered efficient sources of resistance which can be used in the breeding programs. Key words: wheat, P. triticina, sources of resistance, race specific resistance, race nonspecific resistance.

Abstract Drought is the most important environmental factor that adversely affects plant stands. Application of growth regulators, we can achieve a partial elimination of the impacts of environmental stress. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of growth regulators on the physiological parameters, grain yield and quality of winter wheat under drought stress simulated by experimental rain-out shelters. We hypothesized that growth regulators can contribute to mitigating the impact of drought on water use efficiency, yield formation and grain quality of winter wheat production. The experiment was conducted in a field experimental station in Žabčice (49°00'41.3"N) on winter wheat variety Matylda in 2013/2014. The experimental station is located in a warm area with prevailing continental climate (average annual rainfall 482 mm and temperature 9.3°C). Within this experiment following growth regulators and fungicide with growth regulation effect were used: Retacel extra R68 (chlormequat chloride 720 g/l), Moddus (trinexapacethyl 250 g/l), Cerone (ethephon 480 g/l), Amistar (azoxystrobin 250 g/l). These growth regulators were applied at growth stages between BBCH 31 and BBCH 49. Application of growth regulators partly eliminated negative impact of drought on chlorophyll fluorescence, chlorophyll and flavonol content and grain yield particularly for azoxystrobin, chlormequat chloride and trinexapac-ethyl applications. Growth regulators also reduced the negative impact of drought on grain quality. Results of field experiments can contribute to mitigating the impact of drought on yield formation of winter wheat production in the realization of biological potential of wheat genotypes. Keywords: winter wheat, drought, growth regulators, physiological parameters, yield.

Abstract Water deficit is the most severe limitation factor of plant growth and development, while plant genotypes may express different water stress hardiness. In the present study, Lotus corniculatus seedlings of two different populations (Kilkis and Taxiarchis; northern Greece) were used to evaluate the effect of water deficit on growth characteristics. Plants from the two populations were transplanted to pots and following a two-month establishment period, they were subjected to two water regimes: a) irrigation up to field capacity and b) limited irrigation in order to maintain water deficit conditions in the soil. Stem weight (SW), leaf weight (LW) and leaf area (LA) were measured during the growing season at four different phenological stages. The allometric indices of specific leaf area (SLA), leaf area ratio (LAR) and leaf water content (LWC) were estimated. Our findings suggest that plant origin (population) is a significant predictor of SW, LW, LA, SLA, LAR and LWC, while the irrigation treatment significantly affected only the growth parameters SW, LW and LA. The allometric indices SLA, LAR and LWC varied independently of irrigation. Nonetheless, lower values of SW, LW, LA and higher values of SLA, LAR and LWC were recorded on plants obtained from the area of Taxiarchis. Keywords: Leaf area, Leaf weight, Leaf Assimilation Rate, Specific Leaf Area.

Abstract Doubled haploid plant production is a very effective tool in shortening the time needed to develop new varieties. Of the various methods proposed to produce haploid plants anther culture is the most convenient and popular. However, this androgenic response depends on culture medium, on cold or heat pre-treatment, and mainly on the genotype of the donor plants. Although anther culture has been successfully employed in producing haploids in many crop plants, including hexaploid wheat, durum wheat is very recalcitrant to anther-culture, extremely few plants are produced and most of them are albinos. Efforts to produce haploid plants from durum wheat anther culture were attempted by many researchers who evaluated the factors affecting the androgenesis process. They used liquid or solid media, and several medium composition, including the modification of known media, like modified MS, modified W14, C17 etc. The pretreatment of the anthers with mannitol, PEG, cold or a combined pre-treatment involving mannitol and low temperatures improved green plant regeneration. Αn alternative approach to obtain durum wheat haploid plants and subsequently doubled haploid lines is the maize technique. Other researchers attempted to cross durum to bread wheat cultivars responding well to anther culture in order to obtain durum wheat haploid plants. A future prospect could be transferring the 1BL.1RS wheat-rye translocation from the bread wheat cultivars to durum wheat and exploit any possible positive effects of the presence of this translocation on durum anther culture. Keywords: haploid plants, durum wheat, future prospects.

10.7251/AGSY0615021S EFFECT OF EXOGENOUS DIKEGULAC ON IN VITRO SHOOT PROLIFERATION OF Sideritis raeseri L. – GREEK MOUNTAIN TEA SPECIES Virginia SARROPOULOU*, Eleni MALOUPA Institute of Breeding and Plant Genetic Resources, Hellenic Agricultural Organization - 'Demeter', Laboratory for the Conservation and Evalutation of Native and Floricultural Species, Thermi, Thessaloniki, Greece *Corresponding author: [email protected]

Abstract In the present study, the effects of 8 dikegulac concentrations (0, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1500 μM) on in vitro shoot proliferation of the Greek mountain tea species “Sideritis raeseri L.” were investigated. The culture medium used was the MS (Murashige and Skoog) supplemented with 30 g/l sucrose and 3 g/l Phytagel. After 5 weeks of culture in the proliferation medium, shoot number/explant was greatest (5.42) and slightly increased compared to the control (4.09 shoots/explant) with 25 μΜ dikegulac. However, no significant changes were monitored among treatments regarding shoot length (12.48-16.11 mm). The intermediate dikegulac concentrations (50-500 μΜ) substantially enhanced shoot multiplication percentage in relation to the control whereas the marginal ones (10 and 1500 μΜ) inhibited the explants’ ability to proliferate considerably. The shoot multiplication percentage was 100% when 25, 100 or 500 μΜ dikegulac were applied. The percentage of callus formation at the base of the explants was 100% in all treatments except for the highest dikegulac concentration (1500 μΜ) in which a remarkable decrease by 33.33% was recorded. Vitrification was apparent in the majority of the explants including all treatments. In specific, this symptom was less extensive (16.67-18.18%) with low dikegulac concentrations (10 or 25 μΜ) whereas the percentage of explants showing hyperhydration was highest (63.64%) with 50 μΜ dikegulac. An efficient shoot proliferation protocol under in vitro conditions for the Greek mountain tea species – Sideritis raeseri L. was established using the plant growth regulator “dikegulac” as a promoting agent with potential applications in micropropagation. Keywords: callus induction, dikegulac, Sideritis raeseri L., shoot proliferation, vitrification.

Abstract Different Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains and three various explants age (one week old, two weeks old, four weeks old leaf) were tested to investigate the ability for transformation and production of secondary metabolites in Hyoscyamus reticulatus. All the strains of A. rhizogenes (A7, 15834, A13 and D7) used in this study produced hairy roots. Furthermore, effects of explants type (Cotyledon, Hypocotyl, two weeks old leaf, two weeks old internode, four weeks old leaf, and four weeks old internode), effects of two inoculation methods (immersion and injection) on hairy roots induction in cotyledon explants, different culture media (MS, 1/2MS, 1/4MS and B5) were investigated. Hyoscyamine and scopolamine production as a main product in H. reticulatus were measured by GC/MS. The results show that, induction of hairy roots in H. reticulatus was effected by strain and explant type. So, after 19 days, A7 strain and cotyledon explants were the best explants for induction of hairy root in Hyoscyamus reticulatus. ANOVA results showed that, the growth of hairy roots was significantly affected by medium type and the highest fresh weight produced in MS and B5 medium. Hyoscyamine (2/6 fold) and scopolamine (7/56 fold) content were increased significantly in Transgenic roots compared with non transgenic roots. Key words: Agrobacterium rhizogenes, Bacteria strain, Hairy root, Hyoscyamus reticulatus, stem internode.

Abstract This experiment was done as split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications in Piranshahr-Iran, during growing season of 2011- 2012, to determine the effect of farm slopes on yield and some agronomic traits of wheat under different fertilizer sources. Treatments consisted of farm slope at four levels: (0, 3, 6 and 10 percent) as the main plots and combination of different fertilizer at five levels: [control, application of biofertiliozer (Nitroxin), manure, chemicals (N and P] and integration of biological, manure and chemical as sub plots. Results showed that with rising of farm slope, a significant decrease revealed in the spikelet per spike, number of grains per spike, 1000-grain weight, wheat straw yield, biomass and grain yield. In fact, with increasing the farm slope, the yield components decreased which lead to 52 and 38 percent reduction in grain yield and total biomass of plants located on a slope of 10 percent than the control plants. The applications of integrated fertilizer treatments had the most effect on morphological traits and yield components of wheat that increased 12.58 and 13.58 percent the grain yield and total biomass compared to the control plants. Generally, integrated fertilizer treatments that reduced half of chemical fertilizers application, recommended to development of ecological agriculture in the wheat fields. Keywords: biofertilizer, integrated nutrition, manure, morphological traits, yield component.

Abstract Seed germination and early seedling growth are the most important stages of plant development. Fast seed germination, stand establishment and uniform field emergence are critical factors to crop production and are essential to achieve optimum performance. Controlled imbibition of seed followed by dehydration could be applied for reducing the time from sowing to seedling establishment and improving germination rate. In present study the effect of pre-germination hydration of sunflower seeds in solutions containing different concentrations of nano-silica (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1 and 1.2 mM for 8 h) on germination characteristics were investigated. Seed pre- sowing treatment in low concentration of silica nanoparticles (0.2 and 0.4 mM) reduced days to 50% germination and mean germination time and improved germination energy, root length, mean daily germination, germination rate, seedling vigor index, promptness index and final germination percentage. The results of the present experiment agreed with the conclusion that pre-sowing seed treatments with low concentration of nanosilica had favourable effect on sunflower seed germination and seedling early growth. The findings are noteworthy in terms of utilization of suitable concentration nanoparticles as an efficient seed vigour enhancement treatment to improve seedling growth under environmental conditions. Keywords: nanosized, silicon oxide, seed priming, germination rate, seedling vigor.

Abstract Management of plant nutrients can be the key factor for sustain food production under well irrigated conditions. In order to investigate the influence of biological and chemical fertilizers on agronomical traits, yield and yield components of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) a field experiment conducted in Maragheh, in north western Iran. The effect of seven treatments including T1: control (no fertilizer application), T2: seed inoculation with P biofertilizer (contains phosphate solubilizing bacteria; Pantoea agglomerans strain P5 and Pseudomonas putida strain P13), T3: seed inoculation with N biofertilizer (contains Azotobacter vinelandii strain O4), T4: foliar application of iron chelate, T5: soil application of complete NPK, T6: foliar application of manganese chelate, T7: foliar application of zinc sulfate were evaluated. Result revealed that the application of N and P biofertilizers could not significantly affect the evaluated traits. However, the application of chemical complete NPK fertilizer improved most of traits over to control and biofertilizers. The best performance was obtained by foliar application of manganese chelate and zinc sulfate. The results pointed out that micronutrient-deficiencies have to be managed to unlock the potential yield of safflower in semiarid production systems. Our result emphasized the importance of the balanced plant nutrition to improve crop productivity. Keywords: Iron chelate, manganese, micronutrients, yield components, zinc.

Abstract Crop drought tolerance issue is one of the most challenging objectives of agronomy and plant breeding investigations. Developing an efficient screening technology and identifying the most important traits contributing toward drought tolerance are major steps in this direction. To go in this quest, an experiment was conducted with seven Kabuli chickpea genotypes were grown under three humidity regimes including (i) rain-fed condition, (ii) full irrigation and (iii) rain-fed condition with two supplement irrigations during flowering and grain filling stages. Analysis of variance indicated significant differences among seven chickpea genotypes for the measured traits. Results revealed that plant height, primary and secondary branches, chlorophyll content, day to maturity, grain yield and yield components were significant. However, there was no significant difference for number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, 100-grain weight, grain yield per unit area and grain filling rate. Based on the YP drought tolerance index, genotypes FLIP 03-64C and Azad had the highest yield under non-stressed condition, while genotypes FLIP 98-106C and Azad displayed the highest yield under stressed condition. The relationships among drought tolerance indices are graphically displayed in a plot of two first principal components analysis. Genotypes FLIP 98-106C and Azad are good candidates for commercial recommendation to farmers in both rain-fed and irrigated conditions. Principal component analysis indicated that relative water content, photochemical efficiency of photosystem II, and stomatal conductance were the physiological traits with greater contribution toward drought tolerance and should be evaluated ahead of many other traits in making selections for drought-tolerant chickpea genotypes. Key words: drought; genotype; grain yield; rain-fed conditions.

10.7251/AGSY0615027K PRODUCTION OF FLAVONOIDS IN HAIRY ROOT CULTURES OF TEUCRIUM POLIUM USING FUSARIUM GRAMINEARUM EXTRACT AS ELICITOR Maryam KHEZRI, Morad JAFARI*, Reza DARVISHZADEH Department of Plant Breeding and Biotechnology, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Urmia, P. O. Box 165, Urmia, Iran *Corresponding author: [email protected]

Abstract Teucrium polium L. is an important medicinal plant, which has been used for over thousands of years in traditional medicine. It possesses various medicinal properties such as antidiabetic and anticancer effects. The plant is rich in secondary metabolites, such as flavonoids and sesquiterpenes. Flavonoids have a wide distribution in plants and diverse biological activities including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory effects. Secondary metabolites in plant cells are present in very small quantities. Hairy roots production a valuable system for studying secondary metabolites biosynthesis and production is large-scale drug compounds. Different biotechnological strategies such as elicitation are currently being for increasing metabolites biosynthesis in hairy root cultures. In this research, the effect of various concentrations (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5% v/v) of Fusarium graminearum extract (FE) on production flavonoids (FVs) was assayed. The elicitor was added to the hairy root cultures on day 28 and hairy roots were harvested 12 days after an exposure time of 48 h. FE at a concentration of 1% induced the highest increase of FVs (7.41 mg/g DW), which were 12.14-fold, higher than the level in nonelicited control. The enhancing effects of FE on FVs was correlated with increased activity of the enzyme phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), and the expression of PAL gene involved in the biosynthesis of this compounds. These results suggested potential on-demand production of in vitro FVs using elicitation in T. polium hairy root cultures. Keywords: Teucrium polium, elicitation, Fusarium graminearum, hairy root culture, flavonoid.

10.7251/AGSY0615028S A COMPARISON OF NONPARAMETRIC METHODS TO ANALYZE GENOTYPE BY ENVIRONMENT INTERACTION Naser SABAGHNIA*, Mohsen JANMOHAMMADI Department of Agronomy and Plant Breeding, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Maragheh, Iran *Corresponding author: [email protected]

Abstract Analysis of multi-environment trials (METs) of crops for cultivar evaluation and recommendation is an important issue in plant breeding program and evaluating both stability and yield is essential in MET analyses. Fourteen different nonparametric methods used for analyzing genotype × environment (GE) interaction were compared by applying them to a set of experimental data (11 lentil cultivars in 20 environments). A principal components analysis (PCA) was performed on the rank correlation matrix arising from the application of each method. In this study, high values of Fox and low values of rank-sum were associated with high yield performance, but the other nonparametric methods were not positively correlated with yield. The 14 nonparametric methods can be categorized in three groups: (i) those which are mostly associated with yield level and did not show any association with nonparametric stability statistics; (ii) those in which both yield and stability are considered simultaneously; and (iii) those methods which only indicate stability level. This analysis also separated those methods based on a dynamic concept of stability from those which are based on a static one. The new nonparametric methods (NS1 and NS2) were grouped with the second and third groups. Therefore, the NS2 statistic which indicated the inter-decile range proportion to median is more applicable than the inter-quartile range proportion to median (NS1). Keywords: adaptation, GE interaction, stability, yield performance.

Abstract In this research were included seven clones of the variety Merlot (R-12, R-18, R3, 181, 184, 348, 346). Fertility of each clone is determined by elements: fertility shoots per vine (%),absolute coefficient (number of clusters per fertile shoot), mass of bunch, and the yield expressed of unit area or kg/m2.The obtained results from this work were statistically processed using the SPSS statistical software package 19, from where it can be measure the frequency, the percentage share of data, measures of central tendency (median, standard deviation, dispersion, arithmetic mean), such as graphic representation of data (a histogram).The analysis showed than all clones had larger correlation coefficient or there exists a greater dependence between the mass of the cluster and yields. From all clones, only two of them (R18, 346) proved more than greater dependence or greater correlation coefficient between absolute coefficientand the percentage of fertility shoot. The Merlot clone 348 proved the highest correlation between the mass of the cluster and yields where correlation coefficient is 0.983 which is approximately the value of 1, which indicates a very high connectivity. Key words: clones, merlot, fertility,correlation coefficient.

Abstract Consumption of minerals is very important in human nutrition. Some play essential role in cell functions, while some are important in body maintenance and enzyme reactions. Healthy diet means getting enough of the essential mineral ingredients the body needs during the day. Minerals are inorganic substances and are found in the soil or in the water which is absorbed by plants. Montenegro as a Mediterranean country recommends in nutrition habits consumption of different kind of green vegetables. The aim of this paper was to determine the mineral content of some leafy vegetables such as spinach (Spinacia oleracea), swiss chard (Beta vulgaris), collard greens (Crambe maritima) and parsley (Petroselinum crispum) as a spice. Vegetable samples were collected from the private property “Green Home Jovović” during May 2015. 1g of washed, grounded and air dried sample was acid digested. Content of calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper, zinc and phosphorus was determined by ICP-OES. Based on the obtained data it can be concluded that Ca, Mg, K, Zn and P concentrations are the highest in spinach, 13.23 g/kg, 11.7 g/kg, 33.3 g/kg, 123.2 mg/kg and 5.4 g/kg, respectively, and spinach is a great source of Ca, Mg, K, Zn and P in daily diet. The lowest concentration of minerals is observed in parsley. As a good source of copper can be used collard greens, because it contains 93.0 mgCu/kg. The results showed that these values may be useful for the evaluation of dietary information. Key words: minerals, vegetables, human nutrition, diet.

Abstract The interest in chemicals that act as antioxidants has increased during the last two decades because they are important in prevention of diseases which are a consequence of oxidative stress. Antioxidants are chemically diverse group that prevent or slow the oxidation of other molecules by numerous mechanisms. They are very important in living world because they fight against free radicals. Based on a fact that food and health will always be getting priority for mankind, plant biotechnology techniques are employed for nutrition improvement of plants crops and production of antioxidants chemicals in vitro, for prevention of diseases. The main approaches of plant biotechnology for antioxidants production are plant genetic/metabolic engineering and plant tissue culture. The aim of this paper is to introduce some of the most potent exogenous antioxidants molecules for human health and how plant biotechnology can improve their content in commonly used crops. Also, this paper presents plant cell cultures technology as a factory for antioxidant production. Since the nutrition and health promotion are always been a priority of human kind improvement of food quality, its enrichment with components that act on prevention of chronic diseases, could be achieved through genetic engineering and breeding transgenic plants. The development of modern plant biotechnology is directed to overcoming obstacles in the form of bioavailability of plant products which have antioxidant properties and other useful features through concept of functional foods and nutraceuticals. Key words: antioxidants, plant biotechnology, genetic engineering, plant tissue culture.

Abstract Morphological characteristics of flowers and flowering were studied in three main pomegranate varieties grown in Montenegro: 'Slatki barski', 'Šerbetaš' and 'Dividiš meke kore'. The varieties grown in three different locations: Dobra Voda and Tomba in the Bar coastal area, and in Golubovci area near Podgorica, were represented with five trees per locality. Results on dynamics of forming and falling of flowers and fruits are presented in the paper. The maximum length and width of a flowers in all varieties was at hermaphroditic type of flower (4.75 cm), a statistically significantly higher compared to the other two categories examined. Hermaphroditic type of flower has a statistically significantly longer pestle (13.58 mm), while the shortest in functionally male-type 3.93 mm. There was a highly significant correlation between the length of the pistil and diameter of a flower (r = 0.8022 **), as well as the length of the flower (r = 0.7042 **). Functionally male type of flower had in average the highest number of stamens (320), which is in the function of production of a sufficient amount of pollen and better fertilization, and the lowest was registered in hermaphrodite flower type (272). Pomegranate flowering lasted from two to almost three months in the cultivars 'Šerbetaš' and 'Slatki barski' from Dobra Voda in 2004 and 2003 respectively. The highest number of flowers per fruiting shoot was in variety 'Dividiš meke kore' (36.1) at locality Balabani in 2002. The lowest number of flowers (8.25) was formed in 'Šerbetaš' variety in 2004. Flowering maximum in the varieties grown in localities Tomba and Balabani was in the first half of June, while in Dobra Voda delayed in average 7-10 days, due to the climatic conditions in the orchard located at higher altitude.

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the effects of three different commercial yeasts, two different lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as well as addition of oak chips and blocks on quality parameters of Vranac, Kratošija and Cabernet Sauvignon young wines produced in vintages 2012 and 2013. The basic quality parameters of grape must were determined, and a total of 84 wine samples were analysed on quality parameters (alcohol content, total dry extract, pH value, total polyphenols and total anthocyanins). Addition of different commercial LAB did not significantly influenced wine quality parameters, while oak addition influenced sensory properties of all examined wines. Regarding to Vranac wine, the highest content of polyphenols and anthocyanins was achieved when alcoholic fermentation was inoculated with commercial yeast BM 4x4, while alcohol content and total extract didn’t vary among experimental wines. In Kratošija wines combination of BM 4x4 and ICV D21 with oak blocks showed good results. In Cabernet Sauvignon wines addition of oak chips combination showed good results in all wines, while control wine had significantly lower marks. Results obtained in this study indicate the important role of variety, climate and winemaking techniques in the accumulation of these compounds in wine. Keywords: yeast, lactic acid bacteria, oak, anthocyanins, wine quality.

Abstract Flaxseed is a valuable product, containing 34-35% fat, 23% protein, 22% nitrogen-free extract, 9% fiber, 3% ash and 8% water. It is widely used in chemical, food and pharmaceutical industry. Health promoting activity of flaxseed oil is mainly connected with the presence of essential fatty acids (EFA). On average, it consist of 50– 58% α-linolenic acid (ω3), 15% linoleic (ω6) and 17% oleic acid (ω9) glycerides. However, the beneficial for health ω3/ ω6 ratio may vary depending on the cultivar type. To achieve both the high yields and the highest possible quality of raw material, new flax cultivars are introduced to agricultural production, as genetic factor can significantly affect flax ontogeny, including fat content and composition. The research aimed at selection of flax cultivars best for the production of the highest quality oil (the most desired set of EFA), as well as the cultivars whose seeds accumulate the lowest number of nutritional values. Namely, 28 flax cultivars were subjected to analysis, all registered in such countries as France, Netherlands, Austria, UK, Estonia, Canada, Romania, Czech Republic, Germany, Belgium and Poland. The analysis included comparison of such parameters as: crop yield, calorific value of flax seed, content of mineral and organic components, fat and protein yields, and also fatty acids chemical composition. The results showed that for different cultivars the crop yield may vary from 1.09 to 2.88Mg·ha-1 with corresponding calorific values from 121 to 325 MJ·ha-1. At the same time fat and protein yield averages respectively 420-1162kg·ha-1 and 302-764 kg·ha-1. Key words: flaxseed, mineral and organic composition, mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), saturated fatty acids (SFA).

Abstract Maize is known as being one of the most important and most used energy crops for obtaining biomass as substrate for producing biogas. In this respect, the maize crop is important for biogas production taking into account the methane produced by one unit of dry matter, but also taking into account the high biomass yields provided by the crop. However, the high yields are possible to be obtained using the appropriate cultivation techniques according to the growing conditions. The aim of this paper is to present the biomass yield obtained at different maize hybrids under different sowing conditions (different row spacing and plant densities) and under different growing conditions (different soil and climatic conditions) from South Romania. Also, it is intended to identify the average repartition of the biomass on maize plant components under different sowing and growing conditions. Researches were performed in field experiments under rainfed conditions in the years 2013 and 2014, and in two places in South Romania. In both experimental locations and both experimental years, a number of four maize hybrids were studied under three row spacing (75 cm, 50 cm, and twin-rows of 75/45 cm) and under three plant densities (60,000, 70,000, and 80,000 plants ha-1). The determinations of fresh and dry biomass were realized in the early dough - dough plant growth stage. In the specific growing conditions from South Romania, as average values for 2013 and 2014, the highest biomass yields were registered at narrow rows, especially at twin-rows of 75/45 cm, and at plant density of 80,000 plants ha-1. Key words: maize, biomass yield, row spacing, plant density, growing conditions.

Abstract Monitoring soil productivity is a relevant issue in modern agricultural technologies. A par-ticular interest is taken in evaluating the effect of straw combined with microorganisms and thus used as organics. To collect practical data, in 2012-2014 a microplot experiment was conducted on the territory of the Botanical Garden of Voronezh Agricultural University. The aim of the experi-ment was to study biological activity of leached chernozem (black earth). For this, straw combined with a special bacteria agent Baikal AM1 was ploughed up in a fallow plot. It was found that annual use of such a combination can increase the organics amount of soil by 1,3 as much. All the variants demonstrate the significant increase in urease, while catalase activity varied only slightly. The variants with straw processed with microorganisms show the increase in phosphotase and invertase. Analysis of the total microorganisms’ amount grown in SАА (starch-and-ammonia agar) and МPА (meat-and-peptone agar) reveals the transformation of soil organics. Both the lowest and highest figures were found across the tested plots. The plots with both straw and microorganisms demonstrated the highest productivity, grain content and ear output, thus showing better prospects for yield capacity. In the short term, this study is supposed to launch forecasting both soil productivity and yield capacity in different regions of Russia. Key words: leached chernozem, microorganisms, monitoring.

Abstract The article deals with the data about productivity and quality of early varieties of potato: Zhukovskii early, Red Scarlett, Udacha, Rosalind depending on the planting rate. The trial was established on the sod-podzolic middle-loamy middle-cultivated soil in 2013 and 2014. The planned potato productivity of 35 t/ha was achieved in the variety Zhukovskii early and Rosalind 35.7 t/ha and 38.7 t/ha respectively, with the density of planting 71.4 thousand tubers/ha. Potato variety Rosalind also provided productivity of 35.8 t/ha in the variant with density of 57.1 thousand tubers/ha. Potato early maturityvarieties Red Scarlett and Udacha formed up to 30 t/ha, and did not respond by the increase of tuber yield at densities from 41 to 71 thousand tubers/ha. The highest productivity was obtained by increasing the average potato tuber mass and increased density of potato plants on hectare. The content of the marketable fraction in varieties did not differ and ranged from 76 to 81%. With planting overcrowding the varieties did not have a marketable fraction decrease in harvest. The starch content of the variants did not differ, and it was at the level of 11-13%. Thus, it was found that on sod-podzolic middle-loamy soil to achieve the potato tuber yield of 35 t/ha in early potato variety Zhukovskii early the density of 71 thousand tubers/ha is needed, while for variety Rosalind density of 57 thousand tubers/ha is enough. Keywords: potato, productivity, density, variety.

Abstract Creation of landscape composition on the plot, the park or near administrative buildings only with trees, shrubs and flower beds will lead to the creation of an unfinished composition. Perennial ornamental grasses red fescue (Festuca rubra) and fescue (Festuca pratensis) in the climatic characteristics of Preduralie are excellent herbs for creating long-term lawns, both in pure form or in mixes. Sod formed from both fescues has great connectivity, density and elasticity, with dark green leaves that do not lose their coloring even in drought periods. Application in spring harrowing or rolling grass herbage can improve quality, reduce the amount of lawn weeds in grass stands. Application of agrotechnical care methods (harrowing, rolling) during regrowth of lawns in spring allows improving the living conditions of the plants and form a dense grass stand of good quality. It is also worth mentioning that having reached full development in the third year of life, the grasses respond better to rolling and harrowing-rolling combination during regrowth period. The density of grass stand increases compared to the variants without treatment and harrowing with tooth harrows on average from 220 to 2227 shoots/m2 over the years of research. Sowing grass mixture 50% red fescue and 50% fescue, using rolling or harrowing combined with rolling in spring enables the lawns of good and excellent quality. Keywords: lawns, red fescue, meadow fescue, harrowing, rolling.

Abstract Spring oats (Avena Sativa L.) are one of the most important crops in Russia. Grain Oats is a complete concentrated feed for farm animals. Furthermore, manufactured from a highly oat groats, oat flour and other products. One of the main ways to increase the production of grain oats is to increase the yield of this crop through the development and implementation of adaptive technology of cultivation. Development and implementation of quality agro-technics oats with the resource-saving technologies in Russia is an important task to increase the production of high-quality grain. And so the article shows the change in the yield of grain oats depending on predecessor and seeding rate. To study taken four predecessors(winter rye, barley, red clover and peas) and three seed rates(four, five and six million seeds per hectare). The introduction reflects the relevance of research, and a brief literature review on the research questions. The questions of the value of evidence-based crop rotations in agricultural production, the efficiency of different predecessors, stories predecessors choice for cultivation of oats. The object of the study was spring oats, “Dens” cultivar. This cultivar is the most common in Russia. As a result of two years of research found that in contrasting weather conditions better than its predecessor was red clover. Change in yield due to the formation of a different number of productive stems and in florescences productivity. Also found on the influence of predecessors contamination of crops with weeds. The optimum seeding rate for oats is six million seeds per hectare. Increase in yield due to the large number of productive stems. Keywords: spring oats, seeding rate, predecessor, grain yield.

Abstract Peculiarities of yield capacity formation of pea and barley grain in mixed sowings were studied in various component ratios and nitrogen fertilizer doses in the conditions of Middle Preduralie of Russia. The authors pointed out that on sod-podzolic heavy loamy, highly provided with phosphorus and potassium soil in years favorable for development of spring grain and unfavorable for legumes, the maximum yields of barley 5.36 t/ha were received at component ratio 12.5%+87.5% during sowing and nitrogen application 60 kg/ha. Crop yield in average over the research years was closely related to quantity of productive stems, which increased in average by 19-84 pcs/m2, as well as to the increase of grain quantity in ear by 0.7-2.0 pieces and mass of 1000 grains by 1.06.5g. Application of nitrogen 60 kg/ha leads to sustainable reduction of pea productivity 4.5 times. This is due to a decline in all indicators of productivity. When applying nitrogen in a dose of 60 kg/ha, total nitrogen contents in barley leaves in the shooting phase reached an optimal level 4.36-4.43%. A direct relationship between the content of total nitrogen in leaves and grains of barley was revealed. Application of nitrogen 60 kg/ha provides crude protein content in barley 14.8-15.0%, and enables coarse grains with the digestible protein 105 g/fodder unit. The content of available energy in mixture grain is higher than 11 MJ/kg. Maximum energy 60.7 GJ/ha and protein crop productivity 646 kg/ha was observed at the component ratio 12.5% +87.5% and application of nitrogen under pre-sowing cultivation in a dose of 60 kg/ha. Keywords: pea, barley, mixed sowing, seeding rate, yield capacity.

Abstract One of the main problems of modern fruit agriculture is creation of new productive apricot cultivars by hybridization method with suitable selection of parent couples with functional gametes. Analysis of male generative sphere development in 25 apricot cultivars demonstrated that they have different quality of pollen grains. The least amount of morphologically proper pollen grains was noticed in cultivars Dionys, Harcot, Mamai thus they should be used as maternal forms. The greatest pollen grains viability is typical for cultivars Ananasny Tsiurupinsky, Krasny Vympel, Magistr and Holovous that are recommended as paternal forms. In the process of parent forms selection flower structure should be considered since flowers with short pistils have undeveloped embryo sacs with undifferentiated egg apparatus. In the flowers with long pistils two ovules are usually, initiated one of which gradually degenerates and the other develops successfully. Under the pollen grains placement on the stigma proper ones enlarge rapidly, pollen tube develops and mitosis of generative cell occurs in it resulted in the formation of two sperms. Pollen tube grows and comes to the embryo sac, pours its content and double fertilization occurs. Using of embryoculture and in vitro cultivation of hybrid embryos on the modified Murashige and Skoog, Gamborg & Eveleigh, Monnier and Quoirin & Lepoivre media gave us possibility to obtain seedlings of 12 breeding combinations. Such complex of investigation methods allows creating new apricot forms for their further use in breeding and propagation processes. Key words: apricot, new form, generative sphere, embryoculture, in vitro.

Abstract Pollen germination and pollen tube growth in vitro in eight quince cultivars (ʻLeskovackaʼ, ʻVranjskaʼ, ʻMoravaʼ, ʻPazardzijskaʼ, ʻHemusʼ, ʻAsenicaʼ, ʻPortugalʼ and ʻTriumphʼ) were studied in the three-year period (2010-2012). Agar-plate method with three different concentrations of sucrose (10%, 15% and 20%) was applied. Statistically significant differences between quince cultivars were found in terms of pollen germination and pollen tube length. The highest germination rate was found in 15% sucrose (78.72% in average). Slightly lower germination was found in 20% sucrose (78.52%), while the lowest germination was determined in 10% sucrose (73.76%). Among quince cultivars, the highest germination rates were found in ʻTriumphʼ and ʻAsenicaʼ, and the lowest in Leskovacka. Increasing the concentration of sucrose increased the pollen tube length (from 1435.8 μm in 10%, followed by 1790.7 μm in 15% to 2077.5 μm in 20%). Pollen tube length in 20% sucrose concentration ranged from 1770.3 μm (ʻVranjskaʼ) to 2574.4 μm (ʻAsenicaʼ). Based on obtained results, the sucrose concentrations of 15% and 20% can be recommended as optimal for pollen germination of quince cultivars. Key words: Cydonia oblonga, sucrose, pollen germination, pollen tube length.

Abstract Recently, various technologies have been developed in order to achieve maximal utilization of by-products of wine production as well as greater productivity. One of the most potential by-products of wine production is grape pomace, which is still very rich source of anthocyanins. It is well known that these natural colourants have high antioxidant activity. The aim of this research was optimization of anthocyanins extraction from grape skin of black grape variety Cabernet Sauvignon. The extraction was carried out with water and water/ethanol in different ratios. The extraction efficacy and kinetics as well as the application of ultrasound (40 kHz) were examined. The content of total anthocyanins and total polyphenols were determined by pH differential and the FolinCiocalteu method, respectively. The results indicate a significant influence of ethanol and ultrasound on the anthocyanins extraction efficiency. In addition, the time needed for the extraction maximum was significantly decreased (90 minutes) compared to water extraction. The best results have been achieved with 70% ethanol solution exposed to ultrasound, where a three times higher contents of anthocyanins and total polyphenols were obtained than in water extracts.

Abstract In contrast to the mechanism of action, the mode of actions of certain chemicals in the plants is defined as the totality of the effects that these chemicals cause the effect on metabolism, growth and development of plants. In this sense, we studied the effect of the broad concentration range of 24-epibrassinolide on germination of two maize hybrids (ZP434 & ZP704), whereby the monitoring of effect mentioned brassinosteroid phytohormone on germination, and some thermodynamic and biochemical parameters in the seeds during germination. Then we are exposed plants of the maize hybrid (ZP505), grown in different light environments (light vs. shadow) or at different volumes of pot (in which we cultivated plants), to the effects of 24-epibrassinolide or propiconazole (an inhibitor of the synthesis of brassinosteroids). During trial we registered some parameters of growth and photosynthesis. And finally, we conducted a mini field trial treating two maize hybrids (ZP434 & ZP341) with the broad range of doses of 24-epibrasinolide, as well as with two doses of propiconazole. We checked the final yield and some characteristics of growth of maize plants in the field, as well as the chemical composition of the grain after harvest. The results are discussed from the perspective of a 24epibrassinolide effects on maize plants of different ages. Key words: mode of action of 24-epibrassinolide, germination, whole plant physiology.

Abstract Twenty honey bee colonies selected from the apiary of the Institute for forage crops in Kruševac (Serbia) were used for the experiments. The colonies were transported to and placed on the location where the red clover bred for seed was grown (Lukovo and Vrbnica). All colonies were inspected and their strength and food supplies determined. Bees were counted in five days in three different terms. All the bees that have left the hives (scouts) and those who were returning with a load of pollen (foragers) were counted. Counting lasted 3 minutes per colony per term of day. The activity of scouts and foragers differed depending on the red clover cut. The coefficient of variation for scouts was slightly higher in the second cut (10.7% in the second and 8.0% in the third cut). Similar results were obtained for foragers, where the coefficient of variation as the second cutting was 14.4% and 11.2% in the third cut. The largest number of scouts in the second cut was 465, and the third cut 373. Regarding foragers, in the second cut, the most counted foragers was 315, while the third cut, the largest number of foragers was 182. Percentage of honey bees in relation to other pollinators in the second cut was 75.0%, and at the third cut was 61.7%. Keywords: honey bee, red clover, pollination, variability.

Abstract In Serbia, shortage of water limits soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] production. Current irrigation practices aim at maximizing seed yield, but achieve lower return for the water consumed. Maximizing water use efficiency (WUE) may be more suitable in areas where water, not soil, is the most limiting factor. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect) of water stress on yield, WUE and irrigation water (IWUE) use efficiencies of soybean (cv. Nena) growing on a calcaric Chernozem in temperate environment. Field experiments were conducted at the experimental field of the Maize Research Institute “Zemun Polje”, in the vicinity of Belgrade (Serbia) during 2007 and 2008 growing seasons. The crop was subjected to three irrigation levels (rainfed and supply at 50 and 100% of field capacity, FC). Treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replicates. Rainfed (non-irrigated) and deficit irrigation treatment (50% of FC) significantly reduced seed yield. The full irrigated treatment (100% of FC) had the highest yield (3.06 t ha–1 average), while the rainfed treatment had the lowest yield (2.26 t ha–1 average), a 27% seed yield reduction. Deficit irrigation treatment produced 9% less seed yield then the full irrigated treatment. Both WUE and IWUE were significantly reduced as amount of irrigation water was increased. Seasonal crop evapotranspiration increased with increased amounts of irrigation water supplied. In conclusion, higher amounts of irrigation resulted in higher seed yield, whereas WUE and IWUE values decreased when irrigation amount increased. Keywords: soybean, water stress, yield, water use efficiency, irrigation water use efficiency.

Abstract The crops of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) are generally established on acid soils in which some of the trace elements are heavily accessible to the plants. In such conditions, the proper mineral nutrition can positively affect the yield of perennial legumes. The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of foliar treatment with cobalt on the forage yield of red clover on acid soil. The field experiment with varieties of red clover K-39, K-17, Una and Viola was set up in 2019, 2010 and 2011 in Čačak on alluvial soil type with pH(H2O) 4.8. The experiment was designed using a randomized block design with four replications, with the plot size of 5x1 m. Sowing was carried out at 20 cm of inter-row distance and with seed rate of 18 kg ha-1. The analyses were carried out on the first growth during the second year of cultivation, which in combined production forage-seed is mainly used for forage production. Foliar application of cobalt (Co(NO3)2 in concentration 0.033 g L-1) was performed in the phase of intensive growth in the first growth in the second year of cultivation. The highest forage and hay yield in the control treatment was recorded in 2010, and the lowest in 2012, while on the variant with foliar application of cobalt there was no significant difference in the forage yield between 2011 and 2012. In the control treatment in all of the years, the variety Una had a significantly higher forage yield as compared to the varieties K-39 and Viola, while on the treatment with cobalt, the variety Una had a significantly higher forage yield only as compared to the variety Viola. Key words: red clover, cobalt, yield, forage, hay.

Abstract In a field trial set up on the research field of Agricultural station in Sombor, the effect of different fertilization systems and mulching on yield of pepper (varieties) and mineral nitrogen (N) dynamics in soil were studied. Trial was conducted during 2012 and 2013 cropping seasons. Pepper was grown with and without plastic foil as a ground cover, and on both mulching systems it was applied 240 kg N ha-1 in total, through different fertilization systems. Four organic fertilizers were applied: mature cattle manure (MCM); composted pig manure (CPM); vermicompost (V) and organic fertilizer Fertor (F). Each organic fertilizer was applied in two different amounts which contained 120 and 240 kg N ha-1. On the same plots, mineral N fertilizers were added to fulfill target value for N application (240 kg N ha-1). The monitoring of NO3-N in soil during the pepper growing season has shown that the mineralization of organic fertilizers was most intense in the first half of vegetation, while in the second, during the yield formation, concentration of mineral nitrogen in soil was significantly reduced. Concentration of mineral N in soil under plastic mulch was significantly higher compared to plots without mulch. Yield of pepper in first and second term of harvest were positively correlated with concentration of mineral N in soil. Key words: soil, NO3-N, fertilization systems, pepper, yield.

Abstract The temperature is an important environmental factor that affects pollen performance during the reproductive phase of fruit tree species. Pollen germination is one of the main factors for successful fertilization and fruit set in plum (Prunus domestica L.). The study was carried out to determine the effect of three different temperatures (5, 15 and 25°C) on the pollen germination and pollen tube growth in vitro of six European plum cultivars: ‘Cacanska Lepotica’, ‘Cacanska Rana’, ‘Jojo’, ‘Top’, ‘Toper’ and ‘Stanley’. Germination rate and pollen tube growth were determined on a culture medium containing 15% sucrose and 0.7% agar. Temperature significantly affected pollen germination of all studied cultivars. High germination rates (50‒76%) were obtained at the temperatures of 15°C and 25°C. However, satisfactory germination rates (29‒47%) were also obtained at the temperature of 5°C in some cultivars (‘Toper’, ‘Cacanska Rana’, ‘Cacanska Lepotica’ and ‘Top’). The influence of temperature was more prominent on the pollen tube growth. The length of pollen tubes was six to twelve times higher at 15°C and 25°C in comparison with 5°C. This has led to the conclusion that the temperature of 5°C, although it could be enough for pollen germination, is not enough for optimal pollen tube growth. Keywords: Prunus domestica, pollen germination in vitro, pollen tube length.

Abstract The evaluation of ten introduced apricot cultivars originated from Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary was carried out in the region of Belgrade over a period of six years (2009–2014). Control cultivar for comparison was ‘Hungarian Best’. Flowering of introduced cultivars was from two days before to two days after the control, while harvest was from 6 days before (‘Neptun’) to 13 days after (‘Litoral’). The average yield per tree ranged from 5.7 kg in ‘Kasna Drjanovska’ to 12.2 kg in ‘Mari de Cenad’ and ‘Roksana’, while the average fruit weight ranged from 45.1 g in ‘Umberto’ to 82.0 g in ‘Neptun’. Compared with the control cultivar, significantly higher yield was achieved in seven cultivars, while significantly higher fruit weight was found in six cultivars. The content of soluble solids varied from 14.2% in ‘Cegledi arany’ to 19.5% in ‘Kasna Drjanovska’. Cultivars ‘Roksana’, ‘Mari de Cenad’, ‘Gergana’ and ‘Neptun’ stand out for fruit appearance, and ‘Silistrenska kompotna’, ‘Kasna Dryanovska’ and ‘Mari de Cenad’ for fruit quality. Among studied cultivars, for growing in this region ‘Dacia’, ‘Gergana’, ‘Mari de Cenad’, ‘Neptun’ and ‘Roksana’ can be recommended, predominantly for fresh fruit consumption. In addition, cultivars ‘Silistrenska kompotna’ and ‘Kasna Drjanovska’ can also be recommended, mostly for fruit processing. Key words: Prunus armeniaca, flowering, maturing, yield, fruit, stone.

Abstract Study of the effects of crop residue incorporation (CRI) combined with fertilization by increasing nitrogen (N) doses on grain yield of two maize hybrids was carried out on a long-term stationary experimental field of the Institute for Field and Vegetable Crops, established in 1971 at Rimski Šančevi, Novi Sad, Republic of Serbia. The trial involved the following variants: a) treatments with CRI plus use of increasing nitrogen doses: 0 (Ø; control variant), 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 kg of pure nitrogen per ha, and b) treatments without CRI and using of next increasing nitrogen doses: 0, 90 and 150 kg N ha-1. Grain yield obtained by the treatment with CRI on average for all variants of N-fertilization was 8.38 tha-1, being for 1 tha-1 higher in relation to the average yield on treatments without CRI. On average, the highest yield for the both of the studied hybrids (9.09 tha-1) achieved by fertilization of 180 kg N ha-1 with CRI, and was statistically significantly higher compared to all variants in treatments without incorporation of crop residues. Positive effects of long-term CRI to maize grain yields in comparable N-variants, depending on hybrid and doze of the applied nitrogen varied in the range of 180 to 1530 kg ha-1.

Abstract Research on efficiency of mineral nutrition of winter wheat in three production years were carried out in long-term field experiment at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops at Rimski Šančevi location, Novi Sad, Serbia. This paper presents the results about effects of mineral nutrition on grain yield of winter wheat in 20 different fertilization treatments with increasing rates of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and agronomical use efficiency of the applied fertilizers. As expected, nitrogen had significantly highest impact on the wheat yield. The highest increase in the grain yield with one kilogram of the fertilizer used was with nitrogen (33.89 kg of grain/1 kg of N, on average for three years), followed by phosphorus (9.11 kg of grain/1 kg of P2O5), and potassium (3.01 kg grain/1 kg of K2O). Agronomical N use efficiency differed depending upon weather conditions of the year, but in all analyzed years as well as on average, it had tendency to decrease if intensity of fertilization increased. Keywords: wheat, yield, fertilization, nitrogen, nutrient efficiency.

Abstract Two-year survey was conducted according to the principles of organic and conventional dryland cropping technologies. Experiment was placed in Backa Topola, on calcareous chernozem with wheat as preceding crop. In ecological production basic soil fertilization was performed with 15 t∙ha-1 cowshed manure, and in conventional production as pre-sowing treatment was applied 100 kg N∙ha -1. In both years were similar weather conditions. Examination factors were production ways and application of microbial fertilizer. Microbial fertilizer was in liquid state and it contained various types of microorganisms. Microbiological fertilizer used in both varieties of production of sample plots in five variations: 1-control (with out specific microbiological fertilizer), 2treat fields seven days before planting, 3-during phenological stage 1-3 leaves, 4-first flovering, 5- lots of flovering. Data were processed by two-factorial split-plot experiment variance analysis method, and differences between treatments were analyzed by LSDtest. Correlation analysis was conducted. The aim of this work was to determine protein content and oil of organic and conventional cropping technologies and correlational dependency between surveyed characteristics. Average content of protein is 39.93% in 2012 was above that figure. Analyis effected plant breeding didn’t recognised regularity of examined traits. Effect of application of microbiological fertilizer on protein and oil was very significant. Average oil content was higher in the organic and by 2.32% in comparison to the conventional production. Ecological soybean production, as production system with respect of environmental principles and standards, as well as specific local agroecological conditions, has its priority. Keywords: conventional and organic production, protein and oil content, microbial fertilizers, soybean.

Abstract Crop sequences in crop rotation can be very important factor and can influence on different parameters. In this paper we compare two type of three-crop rotation with different crop sequence. We would like to find out on which way crop sequence influence on LAI, maize height and grain yield. Experiment was set up 2009 on Maize Research Institute “ZemunPolje”. First crop sequence was wheat-soybean-maize (WSM) and second was soybean-wheat-maize (SWM). Difference between two crop rotations was only previous crop of maize and in first rotation it was soybean and in second it was wheat. We have sown hybrid ZP 606. In both crop rotation we had herbicide treatment: with herbicide application (B1) and without herbicide application (B2), it was weedy check. We measured LAI, maize height and grain yield. In 2012, LAI and grain yield were higher in SWM then in WSM rotation in all treatments. Only, maize height was higher in WSM in weedy check in comparison with SWM rotation in same treatment, but it was not statistically significant. Soybean-wheat-maize rotation is much better for achieving higher growing parameters and grain yield of maize. Always should sow wheat as previous crop for maize, because wheat as narrow crop, decreasing negative influence of weeds, insects and other pests. Key words: maize, crop rotation, LAI, grain yield.

Abstract During 2011 and 2012, differences in the physical properties of fruit at physiological maturity vs. harvest maturity were evaluated in nine plum cultivars (‘Boranka’, ‘Čačanska Rana’, ‘Čačanska Lepotica’, ‘Valerija’, ‘Timočanka’, ‘Čačanska Najbolja’, ‘Čačanska Rodna’, ‘Stanley’ and ‘Mildora’) grown in high density planting system under the environmental conditions of Čačak. In addition to recording the dates of the two maturity stages, the study involved measurement of fruit weight, three fruit linear dimensions (length, width, thickness) for fruit volume and shape index calculation, and soluble solids content (SSC). Results showed that harvest maturity in the tested cultivars occurred 6.28 days after physiological maturity. The number of days from physiological maturity to harvest maturity varied between 2.5 in ‘Čačanska Rana’ to 9 in ‘Čačanska Lepotica’ and 9.5 in ‘Čačanska Najbolja’. During this period, fruit length increased by 6.39%, width by 7.03% and thickness by 5.58% on average. When analysed across cultivars, the highest increase in fruit length, width and thickness was observed in ’Čačanska Najbolja’ (12.72%; 17.16% and 14.98%, respectively). Fruit shape index did not significantly change between the maturity stages. The average increase in fruit weight and volume was 18.24% and 16.81%, respectively, with the measured values ranging from 5.65% and 6.39% (‘Valerija’) to 41.08% and 29.69% (‘Čačanska Najbolja’). SSC in plum fruit was 12.26% higher at harvest maturity than at physiological maturity. The lowest increase in SSC was found in ‘Čačanska Rana’ (6.26%) and the highest in ‘Timočanka’ (22.89%). Key words: plum, physiological maturity, harvest maturity, fruit properties.

Abstract This paper presents the results of a three-year study of ripening time and major physical and chemical properties of fruits of six promising plum (Prunus domestica L.) hybrids created at the Fruit Research Institute, Čačak. One of these hybrids was released as a new cultivar and was named ‘Nada’. The cultivar ‘Čačanska Lepotica’ served as the standard. The genotypes under study ripened between 29 July (hybrid 38/62/70) and 2 September (hybrid 22/17/87). An elongated fruit shape, a yellowish-green flesh colour and a firm fruit prevailed, whereas violet blue and dark blue skin colours were equally present. Fruit weight ranged from 26.96±0.68 g (22/17/87) to 56.92±2.87 g (38/62/70), with higher values obtained in 38/62/70 and the new cv.‘Nada’, compared to the standard. The highest flesh/stone ratio was found in hybrid 38/62/70 (96.91±0.19%), which was the only significantly higher result compared to the control cultivar. The highest soluble solids content was measured in hybrid 22/17/87 (17.01±0.96%), and the lowest in hybrid 38/62/70 (11.39±0.44%). Compared to the standard, higher values of soluble solids were exhibited by ‘Nada’ and hybrids 32/21/87, 34/41/87 and 22/17/87. Total acid levels were highest in hybrid 32/21/87 (1.42±0.05%), and lowest in ‘Nada’ (0.35±0.02%). Compared to the standard, higher levels were found in fruits of hybrids 38/62/70, IV/63/81 and 32/21/87. The ratio of soluble solids to total acids was highest in ‘Nada’ (43.72±1.47) and lowest in hybrid 32/21/87 (10.25±0.58). Compared to the control cultivar, higher values of this parameter were observed in ‘Nada’, and hybrids 34/41/87 and 22/17/87. The results of this research suggest that ‘Nada’ can be singled out among the tested genotypes as having the best combination of positive traits. Key words: plum, hybrid, cultivar, fruit properties.

Abstract Being under great pressure to improve energy safety in terms of environmental protection and to decrease dependence on imports, many countries shift their production to alternative bio-fuels, such as ethanol and bio-diesel obtained from plant products. The subject-matter of the study is two-year research (2012-2013) on variability of morphological properties of Miscanthus depending on nitrogen rates used for fertilization. The study analysed the following morphological properties: plant height, number of leaves and leaf width. The results show that increased nitrogen rates significantly affect the investigated morphological properties. In fertilization variants, plants were significantly higher than in the control variant in both years of research, which affected the number of formed leaves and leaf width. The effect of the applied nitrogen rates depended on weather conditions (distribution of precipitation). In a favourable precipitation regime the optimal biomass growth was obtained when 80 kg ha-1 nitrogen was applied. Having analysed the correlations, the authors found strong statistical dependence among the investigated parameters. A non-significant positive correlation was found between plant height and precipitation and between number and width of leaves and precipitation. A non-significant negative correlation was found between plant height and temperature of air, as well as between number and width of leaves and temperature of air. Key words: agro-ecological conditions, nitrogen, biomass, Miscanthus, morphological properties.

Abstract To ensure safe food production, cultivar-specific traits of winter small grains were analysed in terms of mineral nutrition in order to determine differences between small grain (barley, oat and triticale) genotypes in the level of certain heavy metals (Ni). This study examined the effect of mineral (NPK), organic (manure) and lime (Njival Ca) fertilisers on the uptake of chrome and its content in kernel and the aboveground portions of winter small grains. The investigation was conducted under field conditions in a soil having acid reaction (pHKCl = 4.20) it is included of two winter barley cultivars, one winter oat cultivar and one winter triticale cultivar. Apart from the control, four various fertilisation variants were also included in the trial: NPK; N +CaCO3; NPK + CaCO3; NPK + CaCO3, + organic (manure). The kernel of mature small grain plants and their vegetative biomass were found to contain quite different levels of Cr, depending on genotype properties and fertilisation systems. The amount of chromium in the aboveground portions was higher than the kernel, and that relationship is as follows: Control 3.70; NPK - 4.72; N + CaCO3 - 1.79; NPK CaCO3 + - 2.5; NPK + CaCO3 + organic manure -4.8. On the CaCO3 + NPK + manure of his mobility is lowest, because the application of manure reduces the mobility of chromium (DTPA-extraction) and thus reduces its toxic effects in plants. Key words: cultivar, fertilisation, chromium, small grains.

Abstract The aim of our research was to investigate the content of Mn, Cu and Zn in soil and their effects on mineral uptake and quality of alfalfa and grasses. During 2013 soil (n=28) and plant (n=28) samples from 15 different localities on the territory of Vojvodina province and West Serbia were collected. Soils from these sites can be classified in four soil types: chernozem, fluvisol, arenosol and pseudogley. The total and available (DTPA extracted) concentrations of Mn, Cu and Zn were analyzed, as well as basic soil properties. The above plant mass concentrations of Mn, Cu and Zn were determined and correlated to soil concentration of the analyzed elements and soil properties. The results have shown that most of soils were well supplied with Mn and Cu. However, from the aspects of ruminant nutrition, on some locations plants were not sufficiently provided with these microelements. The concentration of available Zn in soil were sufficient on almost all locations (1.6 mg kg-1 under alfalfa and 2.1 mg kg-1 under grassland), but analyzes of plant material showed that Zn level was very low in all collected alfalafa (9.68 mg kg-1) and grass samples (8.31 mg kg-1). Thus, certain agricultural methods should be applied in order to increase Zn content in plants used for animal feed. Key words: manganese, copper, zinc, alfalfa, grasses.

Abstract Intensive agricultural production and increased synthetic nitrogen inputs affect environment through pollution with nitrogen metabolites. Over the past years, fruit growing practice has been focused on new concept which relies primarily on the application of microbial inoculants i.e. biofertilizers for gaining high yields and quality of fruits. In line with the concept, we conducted comparative study of the impact made by bio- (PGPR 1 and PGPR 2) and chemical fertilizers (Multi-Comp Base 14-1320+2MgO+ME) on the yield-related characteristics of three apple cultivars (ʻGlosterʼ, ʻMorens Jonagoredʼ, ʻHapke Deliciousʼ). In addition, the paper presents the results related to the soil biological properties in the rhysosphere of the above-mentioned cultivars. The microbiological properties of soil were monitored by determining the total microbial count, numbers of soil fungi, actinomycetes, oligonitrophilic bacteria and azotobacter. The yield-related characteristics of the tested plants were evaluated for generative potential parameters i.e flowering intensity, fruit set intensity, final fruit set intensity and yield (kg tree-1; t ha-1). The analysis of the results points to the fact that the introduction of biofertilization in apple production can meet the basic principles of sustainable agriculture, i.e. sustain stability and quality of yield, while at the same time preserving the ecological balance. Key words: biofertilization, apple, soil biological properties, generative potential.

Abstract Physiological and morphological traits of seed and their variability in dependence on the growing location were studied in 2014. The analyses were carried out on hybrid seed of three commercial hybrid combinations produced in three locations. The following seed traits were observed under laboratory conditions: germination energy, total germination and 1000-seed weight. The highest, i.e. lowest values of germination and germination energy were recorded in the hybrid H3, i.e. H1, respectively. The greatest 1000-seed weight was detected in the hybrid H3. With regard to the growing location, the highest values of germination and germination energy were recorded in the location B (97.166%), while the location A was most suitable for the expression of 1000-seed weight. The greatest 1000-seed weight amounted to 394.67 g. The hybrid combination x location interaction significantly affected all three traits. The highest energy and germination were recorded in the hybrid H1 in the location B. The hybrid combination H2 and the location C had the highest effect on 1000-seed weight. This trait mostly varied in the hybrid combination H3 in the location C. Average values of germination energy, total germination and 1000-seed weight very significantly depended on the hybrid combination and the growing location. Key words: hybrid, location, seed trait.

Abstract Besides it is a significant cereal for bread making, rye is characterized by favorable nutritive properties. Furthermore, it also can be used as feed, then for production of alcohol, starch and vinegar, cellulose, lignin, while rye germ is used in pharmaceutical industry. This study has been aimed to investigate the effect of soil cultivation depth on some morphological and productive traits of winter rye in hilly and mountain areas of north Kosovo. The trial was carried out during 2009/10 and 2010/11 in mountain area of north Kosovo, at 630 m of altitude. It was set in random complete block design with three replications. Cultivar of winter rye Raša was used for the trial. Three depths of soil cultivation were investigated (disc harrowing to 10-15 cm of depth, plowing to depth of 20 cm and plowing to depth of 30 cm). Dependence on tillage depth of the following parameters was observed: plant height, spike length, number of grains per spike, absolute mass of grain, hectoliter mass of grain and grain yield at 14% of moisture. The data were collected for both years and statistically processed by analysis of variance. Results of the study showed that soil cultivation depth had significant effect on the all investigated parameters. Significant differences were observed in plant height, spike length and number of grains per spike between the variant where tillage was done only by disc harrowing and the variant with plowing to 20 cm of depth. Absolute and hectoliter mass of grain were the highest in tillage to 30 cm of depth, with significant differences only in regard to disc harrowing, while between disc harrowing and plowing to depth of 20 cm there was not any statistically significant difference. Grain yield was the highest in tillage to 30 cm of depth (2450 kg ha-1) and was significantly higher in regard to tillage only by disc harrowing (1840 kg ha-1). There was no statistically significant difference in grain yield between plowing to 20 and 30 cm of depth. In order to get rye grain yield of a satisfactory level, one should not do soil cultivation at depth lower than 20 cm. Key words: rye, number of grains per spike, absolute mass, hectoliter mass, grain yield.

Abstract The paper presents the results of a three-year study into pomological properties and yield of two intense-colouring sports of ‘Gala’and ‘Elstar’ (‘Gala Must’ and ‘Red Elstar’, respectively) and two scab resistant (‘Rajka’and ‘Topaz’) apple cultivars which were grown under agro-environmental conditions of Čačak, Western Serbia. Regarding harvest maturity, Gala Must’ and ‘Red Elstar’ belong to the group of autumn cultivars (18th August and 2nd September, respectively), while ‘Rajka’and ‘Topaz’ are winter cultivars (18th and 21st September, respectively). Average fruit weight ranged from 143.33 g (‘Rajka’) to 157.56 g (‘Gala Must’), height from 54.21 mm (‘Topaz’) to 61.33 mm (‘Gala Must’) and width from 67.77 mm (‘Rajka’) to 71.80 mm (‘Red Elstar’). The best fruit quality among the assessed cultivars, measured by the chemical composition, was found in the ‘Topaz’ (soluble solids content – 14.86%; total sugars and acids content – 12.50% and 0.54%, respectively). ‘Gala Must’, ‘Topaz’ and ‘Rajka’ showed high cropping potential, although ‘Gala Must’ had the highest yield (24.63 kg tree-1 and 61.58 t ha-1). Based on overall results, the assessed cultivars may contribute to the advancement of the Serbian apple assortment, while ‘Gala Must’ and ‘Topaz’ can be recommended for commercial production.

Abstract The polyphenolic compoundsnaturally present in medicinal and aromatic herbs have significant importance due to their bioactive and antioxidative properties, but sensorial, too. Herbs extracts obtained in this study have very pleasant odor, taste, and many bioactive compounds, therefore represent perfect base for soft drinks. In this study, the aqueous extractions of 12 medicinal and aromatic plants were performed. The aim was to compare the content of polyphenolic compounds and antioxidant potential of obtained extracts. In order to optimize the extraction process, the influence of water temperature (room temperature, 60°C and 100°C) and extraction time (6h, 12h and 24h) were tested. The obtained extracts were characterized in their total polyphenolic content by Folin-Ciocalteu method whiles the antioxidant potentials were estimated by Ferric Reducing Ability of Plasma (FRAP) and 1,l-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) method. The results show statistically insignificant influence of extraction time. However, there were significant differences between samples obtained with different applied temperature. Also, the results indicate that the water extract of the medicinal and aromatic plants mixture is the great source of polyphenolic compounds with high antioxidant capacity. These extracts of medicinal and aromatic herbs mixture could be applied in food industry, especially in the beverage industry for the development of natural products with high content of bioactive compounds. Keywords: herbs, water extraction, polyphenolic compounds, antioxidative properties, soft drinks.

Abstract Variability of grain weight spike-1 was studied in four triticale genotypes: 'KG20', 'Tango', 'Odyssey' and 'Favorit', grown over a two-year period under four mineral nitrogen fertilizer treatments, 0, 40, 60 and 80 kg N ha-1. The experiment was set up as a randomized block design in four replications. Differences in average values for grain weight spike-1 among the tested cultivars were determined in both years and under all nitrogen fertilizer treatments. Averaged across genotypes, grain weight spike-1 increased with increasing nitrogen rate. On average, grain weight spike-1 in both growing seasons and under N treatment was highest in 'Favorit' and lowest in 'Tango'. Nitrogen fertilization made the largest contribution to the total phenotypic variance of grain weight spike-1, cultivar was a considerably smaller contributor, and a low percentage was assigned to cultivar x nitrogen interaction. The results indicate that the value of the trait is significantly dependent on cultural practices. Key words: triticale, grain weight, spike, nitrogen.

Abstract The study aimed to evaluate spatiotemporal changes of growing season length (GSL) in response to observed warming in Serbia for the period 1961–2010, using temperature observations from 26 meteorological stations uniformly distributed over the country. GSL was climatologically defined as the number of days between the first span of at least 6 days with Tmean > 5°C and the first occurrence after 1 July of at least 6 consecutive days with Tmean < 5°C. Temporal trends were evaluated by a least-squares linear regression method for each station and for the entire Serbian territory using the average series. Trends were assessed for data spanning the 1961–2010 and 1986–2010 time intervals. It was found that GSL had increased in Serbia, with the greater magnitude in the recent-past. Nationally averaged rate of change was 5.1 days/decade for the entire period and 14.8 days/decade for the period 1986–2010. The greatest increase in GSL was observed at Negotin, with overall trend of 9.7 days/decade and change of 26.7 days/decade over the second half of the observation period. Shortening of growing season was observed only at Pozega, with trends of –1.3 days/decade for the entire period and 3.8 days/decade for the period 1986–2010. In addition, the relationship between the GSL and large-scale circulation features was examined. It was found that the inter-annual variation of GSL was significantly correlated with the East Atlantic (EA) pattern. Key words: growing season length, climate change, Serbia.

Abstract In order to estimate the gene effects in the inheritance of the plant height, five winter wheat genotypes (Pobeda, Renesansa, Sara, Partizanka and Pesma) were selected. The above mentioned genotypes were diallel crossed and F1, F2, and Fbc1 were obtained. The gene effects were estimated on the basis of generation mean analysis, using an additive-dominant model with three and six-parameters (Mather and Jinks, 1982). The adequacy of the additive-dominance model with three-parameters was tested using the Scaling-test and Chi-square (χ2) test. In the most crosses the value of the dominant gene effect was more significant than additive. The three-parameter model was adequate for the three crossing combination: Pobeda/Pesma, Renesansa/Pesma and Sara/Pesma. In the remaining crossing combinations tests showed the presence of epistatic effect which suggested that three-parameter model was not adequate. The application of six-parameter models was fitted for explaining genetic variation for the plant height and indicated the presence of various epistatic effects. The inheritance of the plant height was influenced by additive×additive and dominance×dominance type of non-allelic interactions. Duplicate gene interactions were also seen functioning in controlling plant height in most crosses. The best fit model indicated a very similar gene effects which were presented by a model with six-parameters. Epistasis played a considerable role in controlling plant height of wheat which revealed that epistatic gene effect cannot be ignored in establishing a breeding program to improve wheat populations for this trait. Keywords: wheat, plant height, gene effects.

Abstract Five winter wheat varieties (Pobeda, Renesansa, Sara, Partizanka and Pesma) have been selected for diallel crossing in order to estimate the mode of inheritance, gene effect and genetic variance components for the plant height in F1 generation. The mode of inheritance was done on the basis of the significance of components of genetic variance and the regression analysis. The combining ability analysis indicated significant differences for the general (GCA) and specific (SCA) combining ability in the F1 generation, which means that plant height had resulted from the genes with additive and non-additive impact. The best general combining ability was denoted in varieties Partizanka and Pesma and the best specific combining ability have shown in cross combination Partizanka/Pesma. The genetic components of variance, average degree of dominance and regression line indicated over-dominance in the inheritance of plant height. Keywords: wheat, plant height, diallel, regression.

Abstract Despite the detrimental impacts, the use of fertilizers (N in particular) in agriculture, together with an improvement in cropping systems, mainly in developed countries, have provided a food supply sufficient for both animal and human consumption. Therefore, the challenge for the next decades, with an expanding world population, will be to develop a highly productive agriculture, whilst at the same time preserving the quality of the environment. A multidisciplinary approach to breeding winter wheat and include physiological indicators of nitrogen nutrition efficiency could help in achieving this goal. Consequently, this paper deals with physiological indicator as physiological efficiency of nitrogen, its connection with grain yield, heritability and variance and evaluation of Serbian winter wheat genotypes in term of this indicator. The best values of physiological efficiency of nitrogen were registered at KG 165/2 and Lazarica. Emphasized genotypes, selected as superior in term of this indicator, could be considered as carriers of desirable traits in terms of wheat breeding theory, improvement of production efficiency, environmental protection and development of ecological agriculture. Key words: efficiency, nitrogen, wheat.

Abstract Common vetch (Vicia sativaL.) in Serbia has the highest economic importance of the species Vicia. It is mostly cultivated jointly with cereals (oats, wheat, and triticale). It is rarely grown in pure culture due to flattening. Producers have noticed that the market offer various sized seed. We decided to examine the connection between seed size with seed germination and vigor. The paper presents two years results (2012 and 2013), of two cultivars of vetch seed (Vicia sativa L), and the three seed lots of each. Seeds of each lot are divided into three fractions (C- small5 mm. The germination and vigor of seeds are tested from all fractions (A, B, C).Germinated seeds were done in hot bed between the filter paper at 20°C in the dark; energy of germination was checkedon the fifth day, and the germination of the fourteenth day, in accordance with the ISTA rules. Seed size had a significant impact both on the germination, and on the seedling vigor. The impact of the year, the party of seed and the varieties had no significant effect (P≤0.05). Between seed germination and seedling vigor was found high correlation (r). Key words: seed size, seed germination, seedling vigor, Vicia sativa.

Abstract In this paper are studied 15 cultivars of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) of different geographical origins. In the studied alfalfa cultivars were tested for correlations of some important traits in 2007. year. Morphological traits were studied: height of plants (cm), number of stems, number of internodes per stem, green mass yield per cutting and the total yield of green mass (g). In the first cut were recorded medium strong positive correlation between the height and yield of green mass (r = 0.76*). Heritability properties of plant height was very high in the first year (2006, h = 80.52) in the first cut, while in the second year of investigation (2007, h = 56.96), in the second cut. Estimation of heritability properties for green mass yield varied according to age, the highest value was obtained in the first cut 2006. year (h = 72.75), indicating a high share of genotype, while the lowest value was obtained also in the first cut in the 2007. year (h = 29.55). Breeding material possesses desirable traits for breeding new cultivars and with the choice of an appropriate model of breeding possible selection activities cultivars for specific purposes. Key words: alfalfa, cultivar, correlation, trait.

Abstract The main goal of the most maize breeding programs is to create superior inbred lines that could be used for getting newer, better commercial hybrids. It is necessary, by using suitable experimental methods, to investigate potential of every recently created population for possible adopting in long-term breeding programs. This paper presents the investigation of F3 population 2002-30, created in the Department of Maize, Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops, Novi Sad. The investigation lasted for three years. At the first year, about 150 plants of the studied population were selfed and simultaneously crossed with the tester 1491x1496, in order to get complementary S1 and HS progenies. After the harvest, 41 progenies of each type were selected by the random sample method. During the second and third year, trials were carried out in Aleksinac, Leskovac, and Kruševac, as three studied environments, in RCB design. Moderately strong and strong positive phenotypic correlation between yield components and grain yield was established, but between certain yield components negative correlation coefficients also were found. We found many significant positive, but also negative values of genotypic correlation coefficients; however, general tendencies were the same as for phenotypic correlation coefficients. Genotypic correlation coefficients of HS progenies were much greater than the phenotypic ones. Key words: maize, correlation, recurrent selection, yield components.

Abstract Crude protein content is one indicator of red clover quality, which, among other things, is affected by the variability of soil properties. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different soil types on the content of crude protein in red clover. The examination was conducted on six types of soil: chernozem, vertisol, eutric cambisol, humofluvisol, fluvisol and humogley (according to domestic soil classification). Sampling of plant material was carried out during May 2011, in the second year of red clover production. On the basis of these results it can be concluded that there are statistically significant differences in the content of crude protein between red clover plants, grown on different soil types. The highest protein content has red clover grown on chernozem (21.33%) and lowest on the fluvisol (14.33%). Soils, on which the protein content in red clover was higher, are characterized by good physical and chemical properties, a higher content of total nitrogen, primarily nitrogen fixation increased, as have the favorable conditions for microbial activity. This is primarily related to the pH value, because the greatest number of Rhizobium is in neutral and slightly alkaline soils. The expected results should be a guideline for the production practice, because the modeling of feed production, in different production conditions, raises the possibility of more intensive crop and livestock production. Keywords: red clover, crude protein, soil type.

Abstract The effect of storage was studied on grain metabolites wheat cultivars selected in Serbia – Evropa, Pobeda and Renesansa. The samples (500 ± 5 g, 11–14% moisture) were placed into sealed plastic containers of the same volume, labelled and stored at a temperature of 25 ± 2 oC for 12 and 24 months. During the 12 and 24 months of storage, there was a decrease on average in lipids (3.55% and 5%), crude cellulose (16.65% and 21.77%) and an increase in total ash concentration (10.2% and 12.39%) and dry matter (10.01% and 10.31%). Storage duration caused a significant decrease in lipids and cellulose, when compared to freshly harvested grains (p ≤ 0.05). Ash levels increased significantly (p ≤ 0.01) with storage duration. Prolonging of storage resulted in increased dry matter in grains of all the investigated cultivars (p ≤ 0.01). Key words: wheat, storage, metabolites.

Abstract The aim of the study was to determine the optimal ratio of male sterile (cms-S) to male fertile components of the hybrid ZPSC 341, in order to obtain the maximum yield in the commercial production. The present study encompassed observance of effects of different proportions of fertile to sterile plants on grain yield of the hybrid ZPSC 341. The three-replicate trial was set up according to the randomised block design. Twenty one mixtures with 0, 5, 10, up to 100% of fertile plants mixed with the sterile variant of the hybrid ZPSC 341 were made. The original fertile hybrid ZPSC 341 was three times included into the trial as a check (hand-pollinated ZPSC 341, ZPSC 341 F1 and reciprocally crossed ZPSC 341), so as to control reliability of the trial. Yield, variations in yields and effects of fertile and sterile cytoplasm of the hybrid on yields were observed. The effect of the percentage of fertility, i.e. of sterile to fertile variant ratio on yield was determined. Gained results show that the highest average yield (16.071 t ha-1) was achieved with 90% of fertility, in contrast to the hybrid with 30% of fertility in which the lowest yield (14.112 t ha-1) was recorded. Key words: cytoplasmic male sterility, maize, yield.

Abstract The effects of fertilization and tillage on grain quality trait and yield of maize hybrid was evaluated. An experiment was laid out in split plot design, having three replication, with following treatments: no-tillage (NT), reduced tillage (RT) and conventional tillage (CT), and three levels of fertilization (F1 - no fertilizer; F2 – 50 kg N/ha + 50 kg P/ha + 50 kg K/ha in fall, + 33.5 kg N/ha in spring; F3 - in 50 kg N/ha + 50 kg P/ha + 50 kg K/ha fall+ 93.5 kg N ha in spring), during 2014 at MRI Zemun Polje. The highest yields were observed with CT (12.19 t/ha), while the averages with RT and NT were lower (10.57 t/ha and 9.68 t/ha, respectively). The lowest yield was in F1 fertilization treatment 8.66 t/ha, while the yield was raised with amount of applied fertilizer (11.66 t/ha and 12.02 t/ha, respectively). The results of the influence of the amount of the applied fertil¬izers on protein content showed that the highest protein content have been obtained with treatment F2 (8.31%) followed by treatment F3 and F1. The average protein content at NT was 7.91%, while at RT, the protein content was 8.12% and at CT 8.17%. Also the highest oil content as well as starch content was with CT. The effect of fertilization on oil content is inconsistent, the highest content was in F2 treatment, 3,88%. The lowest protein, oil and starch content were in treatment without fertilizer. This experiment will continue. Key words: grain quality, fertilizer, maize, tillage, yield.

Abstract Fertilization is effective farming which, indirectly, increasing crop density, could lead to decreasing weeds abundance. Investigation was carried out on property of Small Grains Research Centre in Kragujevac, Serbia (2004/05, 2005/06 and 2006/07), on extreme acid soil. The winter small grains species were tested, as follows: wheat (Takovcanka, Studenica, KG 56, Lazarica, KG 100 and Pobeda), barley (Jagodinac and NS 519), oat (Vranac) and triticale (KG 20). The research included next fertilization variants: control (fertilizers free), mineral fertilizers (NPK), nitrogen fertilizer and lime (N + CaCO3), mineral fertilizer and lime (NPK + CaCO3) and mineral fertilizer, lime and manure (NPK + CaCO3+manure). The least weed abundance was registered in variant of combined application of mineral fertilizer, lime and manure. The decrease was 74.2% in relation to control variant. Liming provoked decrease of weed presence in small grains for 53.7%, averagely or for 49.7%, 57.6%, 50.8% and 56.0% in wheat, barley, oat and triticale, respectively. Air – dried mass of weed individuals were almost identical in fertilization variants and fertilizers free variant. Key words: fertilization, small grains, weed.

Abstract The interaction of genotype x environment on yield and 1000 grain weight and test weight at four KG cultivars of barley (Rekord, Jagodinac, Maksa and Grand) was researched in this paper. The experiment was established on the experimental field of the Small Grains Research Centre in Kragujevac (Serbia) during two growing seasons. The highest grains yield per area unit had, on an average, Jagodinac and Grand cultivars (6.647 t/ha and 5.919 t/ha). Average grains yield observed in the two-year period was the highest at Jagodinac cultivar (6.647 t/ha), while the lowest yield was obtained by Grand and Maksa cultivars (5.919 t/ha and 5.742 t/ha). The largest two-year average value of test weight was found in the cultivar Maksa (69.56 kg/hl), and lowest in cultivar Grand (64.87 kg/hl). During the both years of investigation the highest average value of 1000 grain weight achieved the Maksa cultivar (49.84 g and 47.85 g). The highest average 1000 grain weight was determined for cultivar Maksa (48.84 g). Very highly significant differences in 1000-grain weight and highly significant of grain yield and test weight at investigated barley were found in relation with the cultivar. During 2006-2007, statistically significantly higher grain yield per area unit as well as 1000 grain weight was achieved, compared with 2005-2006. Interaction of the year and cultivars on the yield and 1000 grain weight were statistically significantly. Investigations on genotype and environment interaction present the basis for further refinement and barley zoning. Key words: cultivar, grain yield, winter barley.

Abstract The study was carried out in a stationary field trial involving fertilization over a two years period from 2008/09 to 2009/10. Trials were first set up in the experimental fields of the Small Grains Research Centre in Kragujevac in 1970. The wheat cultivar used in the experiment was Vizija, the dominant cultivar in the production region of Serbia. Studies of fertilization effects were conducted in a stationary field trial on a degrading vertisol soil with low pH. Eight variants of mineral nutrition (control, NK1, NP1, NP2, NP3, NP1K1, and NP2K1) and untreated control (without nutrition) were tested in the experiment. The highest grain yields under mineral nutrition involving a combination of three mineral elements NP1K1 (4.827 t/ha) and two mineral elements NP3 treatment (4.564 t/ha). Over the two-year period, all investigated treatments of wheat achieved the highest average test weight in the NP2 (76.545 kg/hl). Based on the analysis of variance, it can be concluded that two are highly significant differences in grain yield regard the year of investigation (Fexp=12.033**) and significant differences at 1000grain weight (Fexp=8.216*) and highly significant differences in test weight (Fexp=121.874**). Highly significant differences in grain yield at investigated wheat cultivar were found relative to the fertilization. In the dual interaction between the year and fertilization, significant effects were highly significant on grain yield and 1000-grain weight. Grain yield were significantly positively correlated with 1000-grain weight only in the 2009/10 (r=0.45*). Test weight in 2008/09 was positively correlated with 1000grain weight (r=0.47*). Key words: fertilization, yield, quality, wheat.

Abstract The subject of this study are two-year results of the oil yield of six NS soybean genotypes, 0 and I maturity group (MG) at two growing localities (Rimski Sancevi and Sombor in Serbia). Sombor had higher oil yield than Rimski Sancevi (by 119 kg ha-1, i.e. 15.97%). In the locality of Sombor, in 2010, of the oil yields were statistically significantly higher (1.088 kg ha-1) compared to 2009 (640 kg ha-1), which is higher by 448 kg ha-1 or 70% of the average oil yield in 2009. The average oil yield, for all tested genotypes at both locations was 805 kg ha-1, and ranged from 745 kg ha-1 (Rimski Sancevi) to 864 kg ha-1 (Sombor). At both sites significantly higher oil yield was recorded in 2010 compared to 2009. The highest average oil yield at both sites was achieved growing genotype Sava (840 kg ha-1). Sava had highest oil yield (887 kg ha-1) and Balkan (902 kg ha-1) in locality of Sombor. On average for both genotypes and growing localities I MG had higher average oil yield of 29 kg ha-1 ( 3.67%) than 0 MG genotypes. Realizing the potential for soybean productivity depends on genetic factors, the cultural practice implemented, meteorological conditions and the growing localities.

Abstract Trends for increased biomass and grain yield production with costs lowering, has consequence in products low in mineral nutrients. Minerals deficiencies in nutrition, particularly of iron, magnesium, zinc and selenium are present worldwide. To combat such a situation, increase in mineral nutrients in food is necessary. This could be provided by fortification which includes different cropping practices and genetic engineering. Almost half of soils are deficient in mineral nutrients. Cropping practices which include increase in soil fertility, application of foliar fertilizers etc. could be measures for increasing plant’s ability to utilize mineral elements. Methods of conventional breeding and genetic engineering could increase mineral nutrients concentration in edible parts of plants. Fortification also includes lowering of antinutrients (phytate, phenolics, etc.) that inhibit nutrient bio-availability, as well as increasing of enhancing substances - promoters (ascorbic acid, β-carotene etc.) that promote nutrient bio-availability. Increase of mineral nutrients concentration and their availability from produced crops are complex traits which demand new approach in crop production. Key words: crop improvement, mineral elements, bio-availability, antinutrients, promoters.

Abstract Weed management is a major issue in sustainable farming systems. The growing of cover crops is one alternative to herbicides, but using cover crops for weed control without adverse effects on main crop growth is important. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of winter grown cover crops (common vetch, oat and fodder kale) on floristic composition of weed community in sweet maize. The cover crops were sown in two growing seasons on slightly calcareous chernozem (the locality of Zemun Polje) after winter wheat as a previous crop. Plots without cover crops were used as a control: dead organic mulch-soil covered with straw in autumn and winter time, and conventional variant-bare soil uncovered during autumn and winter time. Mowing of the above-ground biomass of cover crops was performed 7-10 days before planting of sweet maize. The estimation of weed infestation in sweet maize was conducted in early July. The average number of species of weeds in sweet maize was from 7.1 and 7.9 (common vetch and dead organic mulch) across 7.8 and 9.6 (fodder kale and conventional variant) to 13.1 (oat). The number of weed plants was also higher in the variant cover crop with oat. However, aboveground fresh and dry weights of weeds had the highest value in control variant in both investigation years. It can be concluded that perennial weeds could be controlled effectively by sowing cover crops in sustainable farming systems in a semi-arid regions. Key words: cover crops, dead organic mulch, sweet maize, weed infestation.

Abstract Genomes of wheat varieties provide an available and highly efficient polymorphic system of genetic markers. Suitable protein markers in wheat are endosperm storage proteins – gliadins and glutenins. The HMW glutenin subunits were separated by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and gliadins by acid polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The objective of this study was to determine the composition of high molecular weight glutenin subunits and gliadin block of 94 European varieties of hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) The allelic block Gli-1B3, the marker of rye translocation 1RS/1BL as well as the marker of poor bread-making quality was detected in 27 genotypes. Sixteen high molecular weight (HMW) - glutenin subunits (GS) were found, three belonged to Glu-1A, nine to Glu-1B and four to Glu-1D locus. The most frequent (32, 9%) HMW-GS at the Glu-1A, Glu-1B and Glu-1D complex loci were 0, 7+9, and 5+10 respectively. Bread quality (class) in the examined accession varied from minimum value 4 to maximum value 10. Keywords: Triticum aestivum L., glutenin, gliadin, SDS-PAGE, A-PAGE.

Abstract Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays an important role in a long-term agroecosystem productivity, in the global C cycle, maintaining a soil nutrient pool and improving its availability. Soil carbon sequestration is a complex process that is influenced by many factors, such as agricultural practice, climatic and soil conditions. A number of studies indicate that SOC levels increase under practices of balanced fertilization, organic amendments, crop rotations, conservation tillage (e.g., no–till), and reduced fallow. More intensive crop management systems that maintained residue cover provided the greatest benefit towards increasing the quantity of mineralizable nutrients within the active fraction of SOM, as well as increasing C sequestration as SOM. Our study showed that the 3-year crop rotation (r = 0.78**) could be a basis for the soil organic matter preservation since it included nitrogen from soybean and sufficient amount of crop residue. Thus, carbon input with crop residues is significantly related (r = 0.74**) with organic matter accumulation in the 0-20cm, whereas no stabilization and sequestration occurred in 20–40 cm depth (r = 0.54). Moreover, increase in grain yields of both maize and wheat crops over the years were directly related with improvement in soil organic matter and its different fractions. Long–term field experiments have contributed significantly to our current knowledge of soil quality and have been used to study the influence of crop management, fertilizer application and tillage practices on SOM content. The objective of this study is the assess the impacts of long–term fertilization practices on SOC dynamics in Slovakia and Serbia. Keywords: soil organic carbon, long–term experiment, Slovakia, Serbia.

Abstract Objective of this research is to describe and compare the results of climate variables analysed in two different viticulture sites; indeed, one study site is located in the Valencia wine region in Spain and the other is in the Goriška Brda region in Slovenia. The research includes the climate analysis for a period of five decades in both study sites, from 1965 to 2013, to follow temperature measured daily. In addition, the Huglin and Winkler indexes were calculated in the same research sites for the same time period. The analysis was conducted in four weather stations (two in Spanish site and two in Slovene site). The climate data analysis showed a considerable temporal variability with notable increase of temperatures; indeed, it showed also the significant spatial variability of climatic variables. The continent and sea influence created climate and spatial differences on the both study sites, which are comparable with the climate evolution in the study period. This preliminary work is encouraging and will be further developed. Moreover, the results of this paper will be used to elaborate a climate model for the 2015-2065 period in each site separately. The results of the climate comparison, will give us two different climate models, one for each study site, which will contribute to improve viticulture adaptation in the future. Key words: Temperature trends, climate change, Huglin index, Winkler index, and daily temperature.

Effect of the temperature on life table, parameters of Scolothrips sexmaculatus (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), the predator of the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) was studied under laboratory conditions at three constant temperatures (20, 25 and 30°C). These experiments were conducted at the General Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research (GCSAR), Damascus countryside, Syria. The durations of development of egg, 1st and2nd larval instars, pupa, and adult at the three tested constant temperatures were measured. The total developmental period from egg to adult’s emergence was estimated by 23.2, 13.3 and 10.8 days, respectively. The developmental period decreased significantly with increasing the temperature from 20 to 30°C. Survival rate was the highest at temperature (30°C) in comparison with the other temperatures (20 and 25°C). Egg stage of S. sexmaculatus showed highest mortality levels at all temperatures. Generation period, as well as the ovipositional period decreased significantly at the temperatures ranged from 25.1 to 11.54 days, 52.8 to 41.2 days between the two temperature extremes, respectively. The maximum total fecundity (229.3 eggs/ female) and the minimum (94.1 eggs/female) were recorded at 30 and 20°C, respectively. The mean number of fertile eggs, laid per female per day, was highest at 30◦C (4.9 eggs) and lowest (2.7 eggs) at 20°C. Thermal requirements for developmental thresholds and thermal constant of S. sexmaculatus were estimated as 10.8°C and 200 degree-days (DD), using the common linear model. 30°C was the optimum temperature for development. The results showed that the population of S. sexmaculatus was able to develop at a broad range of temperatures; therefore it is well adapted to the temperatures of the Mediterranean region. Key words: Scolothrips sexmaculatus, Tetranychus urticae, Temperaturedependent, Thermal requirements, Biological parameters.

Abstract Eight cultivars (CV) of lettuce, collected from Chenini oasis in south of tunisia, were analysed using both univriate and multivariete analysis applied to a set of 33 quantitative and qualitative traits. Results of Duncan test (α=0.05) and coefficient of variance analysis reflected significant differences between cultivars for head weight, head diameter, leaf and seed color. The color of leaves ranges from yellow to darck green with different degrees of shininess. Leaf margin are lobed for CV 2, CV 4, CV 7, CV 8 and entiers for the others cultivars. Seed colour varies including white for cultivars (CV 1, CV 2, CV 4, CV 5), black for (CV 6, CV 7, CV 8) and grey for CV 3. Mean value of head weight was 340.91g and difference between cultivars was highly significant. Minimum head weight value was 115g for CV 6 cultivar and maximum value was 755g for CV 8 cultivar. On the basis of head characteristics, similar cultivars were clustered according to minimal distance analysis. Three cluster were identified. So, there is no doupt that breeding and selection of lettuce had been practiced by oasis farmers since many years and the accurate description of those oasis lettuce germplasm provides basic information useful for breeders. Keywords: cultivar, characterization, cluster, Lactuca sativa, oasis.

Abstract The explication of candidate line and new varieties is uncomfortable the affect of genotype-by-environment interaction(GEI). The AMMI (Additive main effects and multiplicative interaction) analysis and GEI is making to estimation grain yield and understands GxE interaction patterns by researches as differential ranking of variety yields in multi-environment trials. So, a candidate of release and three spring barley varieties which registered in different years were reclaimed at seven environments. The experiments were performed according to a complete randomized block design with four replications. The stability and superiority of genotypes for yield was determined using AMMI and GGE biplot analysis. Factors (G, GE, and GEI) were found to be highly significant (P < 0.01) for grain yield. AMMI analysis indicated that the major contributions to treatment sum of squares were environments (79.4%), GE (13.9%) and genotypes (6.4%), respectively, suggesting that grain yield of genotypes were effected environmental conditions. The GGE biplot indicated that PCA 1 and PCA 2 axes (Principal component) were significant as P 80% (X6), followed by maximum temperature (X3) towards the end of the growing season, but with leaf rust only. Studies with mechanical rust spore trapping (MRST) indicated that wind direction (WD) had shown to have significant negative effect on stem rust spores, but no significant negative influence on leaf rust spores counts. However the inclusion of wind speed (WS) as a fourth variable in the prediction model, significantly increased the amount of variation with leaf rust, and had no effect on stem rust species spore counts.

Abstract During 2012 and 2013 aniseeds were collected in three localities in the province of Vojvodina (Mošorin, Veliki Radinci and Ostojićevo). Conventional mycological seed testing revealed significant seed infection with Fusarium spp. ranging from 2-18%. From the infected anise seed, monosporial cultures, based on morphology, were identified as Fusarium subglutinans, and their pathogenicity proved on artificially inoculated anise seedlings. Molecular identificaton was performed utilizing polimerase chain reaction (PCR) with primer pair EF1/EF2 and by amplification of the translation elongation factor-1 alpha (tef-1α) gene. The sequence analysis of tef-1α region revealed that Serbian isolate A5 (GenBank Accession No. KP126606) shared 100% nt identity of with sequences of seven F. subglutinans isolates deposited in the GenBank. The presence of a large number of phytopathogenic fungi on anise seed should be further investigated in order to clarify their relationships and relative significance.

Abstract Date fruits of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), are among the most important agricultural products of Algeria. The biochemical composition of the two varieties of dates: Deglet-Nour and Mech-Degla, is marked by the high sugar content 70.92-74.07% fresh weight (fw). Due to its high level of sugar, the dates are suitable for production of syrup. The physicochemical characterization of dates syrups has revealed that this product has a Brix of 70.46-70.56%, total sugars (60.28-61.41% fw), sucrose (35.9736.25% fw), reducing sugars (24.31-25.16% fw), pectin (0.74-1.43% fw) and ash (1.241.35% dry matter). Determination of minerals indicated that syrup is good source of many important elements such as potassium and magnesium. In addition, dates syrups are a good source of polyphenols, with a limit of 57.95-72.50 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE) per 100g of fresh weight. Their antioxidant capacity ranged between 48.3490.43% on DPPH assay, which leads to consider dates syrups as a functional food. Significant differences (p
