Title: Response of Seven Red Raspberry Cultivars to the Environmental Conditions of Northern Serbia
Authors: D. Marinkovic, S. Djurovic, S. Markovic, C. Kempler
Abstract:
The vegetative and reproductive potential of six red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) cultivars developed at the
Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre (PARC) at Agassiz, British Columbia,
Canada (‘Chilcotin’, ‘Chilliwack’, ‘Comox’, ‘Haida’, ‘Nootka’ and ‘Skeena’) were evaluated in the Belgrade
region of Serbia from 2001 to 2004. ‘Willamette’ was used as a standard of comparison. ‘Comox’ and ‘Skeena’
produced greater fruit yield (12.5 t•ha-1 and 16.7 t•ha-1, respectively) than ‘Willamette’ (2.2 t•ha-1). Absolute minimum
temperatures of -14°C, recorded in January 2002 and 2003, as well as temperature fluctuations and drought
periods may have reduced fruit yield of ‘Willamette’. The mean height of ‘Haida’ dormant primocanes was about
0.5 m shorter than that of ‘Willamette’ primocanes, but it out-yielded the standard cultivar.
