| Abstract:
In a trial in Northern Serbia, six raspberry cultivars from the AAFC-PARC breeding program were tested against ‘Wilamette’, the leading raspberry cultivar grown in Serbia. These six included ‘Chilcotin’, ‘Chilliwack’, ‘Comox’, ‘Haida’, ‘Nootka’, and ‘Skeena’. It was found that ‘Comox’ and ‘Skeena’ cultivars exhibit desirable pomological traits such as high fruit quality and low susceptibility to major diseases and pests. Based on the results from this trial, ‘Comox’ and ‘Skeena’ are recommended for further testing throughout the Belgrade region to determine the potential role of ‘Comox’ and ‘Skeena’ in the expansion of red raspberry production in the region. | |
