The objective of this research was to assess genetic diversity using eight microsatellite markers in 30 tomato genotypes from the collection of the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad. The SSR markers were selected from publicly available data and Solanaceae Genome Network database. Genotypes were grouped into three clusters, using Ward's hierarchical clustering method and Euclidean distance measure. Markers SSR248, TMS9, TMS42 and SSR111 had very high PIC (Polymorphism information content) values and can be recommended for the future studies. Paradajz (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) je jedna od povrtarskih vrsta najviše izučavanih na polju oplemenjivanja, genetike i genomike i jedna od 3000 iz familije Solanaceae (pomoćnice). Veličina genoma paradajza iznosi 950 Mbp, a sadrži 77% heterohromatina i 23% euhromatina (Peterson, Price, Johnston i Stack 1996). Iako je diverzitet njegovih prirodnih staništa veoma velik, znatan deo genetičke varijabilnosti paradajza je izgubljen u procesu domestifikacije i intenzivne veštačke selekcije. Cilj ovog istraživanja je procena genetičkog diverziteta 30 genotipova paradajza iz kolekcije Instituta za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo u Novom Sadu korišćenjem 8 mikrosatelitskih markera. SSR markeri su izabrani na osnovu objavljene naučne literature i Solanaceae Genome Network baze podataka. Markeri SSR 248, TMS 9, TMS 42 i SSR 111, kod kojih je utvrđena visoka PIC vrednost, mogu se preporučiti za buduća istraživanja.

Five local tomato populations and fourteen heirloom cultivars were analyzed in this study. The analyzed genotypes represent a part of tomato collection of Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad. The following fruit and plant traits were analyzed: growth type, fruit color, fruit shape index, fruit weight, number of locules and dry matter content. Cluster analysis was performed so as to group the analyzed genotypes by homology and divergence. The aim of this article was to determine the importance of heirloom cultivars and local populations as sources of genetic variability in tomato breeding process. U ovom istraživanju je analizirano 5 lokalnih populacija i 14 starih sorti paradajza. Ispitivani genotipovi predstavljaju deo kolekcije paradajza Instituta za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo u Novom Sadu. Analizirane su sledeće osobine biljke i ploda: tip rasta, boja ploda, indeks oblika ploda, masa ploda, broj komora i sadržaj suve materije u plodu. Primenjena je analiza grupisanja (klaster analiza) u cilju grupisanja ispitivanih genotipova na osnovu sličnosti i razlika za ispitivana svojstva. Cilj rada je ispitivanje značaja starih sorti i lokalnih populacija kao izvora genetičke varijabilnosti u oplemenjivanju paradajza.

The Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad has 51 newly developed, high-yielding vegetable cultivars, which can be grown in any of our country's vegetable-growing regions throughout the year and both indoors and outdoors. In addition to the newly developed cultivars and hybrids, the Institute produces the basic and commercial seeds and processes, tests for quality, packages and distributes domestic and domesticated cultivars alike. The Institute's offer of vegetables totals more than 90 cultivars of various vegetable species. Povrće ima veliki značaj u ishrani ljudi bilo da se koristi u svežem, prerađenom ili konzervisanom stanju, a pored toga ostvaruje visok dohodak po jedinici površine što obezbeđuje i visoku akumulaciju. Sortiment povrća Instituta možemo svrstati u dve grupe i to: odomaćene i domaće sorte i sortne populacije i novostvorene sorte i hibridi. Do sedamdesetih godina dvadesetog veka selekcija povrća, u Institutu, bazirala se na iskorišćavanju lokalnih populacija i stvaranju sorti individualnom selekcijom iz istih. Na taj način stvorene su sorte povrća, koje su dugi niz godina predstavljale osnovu povrtarske proizvodnje. Od sedamdesetih godina u stvaranju sorti povrća, primenjen je metod hibridizacije, odnosno metod kombinacijskog ukrštanja, što je dalo veću mogućnost u stvaranju sorti otpornijih na patogene, ranostasnijih, bolje aklimatizovane našim agroekološkim uslovima gajenja i boljeg iskorišćavanja genetskog potencijala rodnosti. U Institutu za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo stvoreno je 51 sorta i hibrid od 14 različitih vrsta povrća, koje je Komisija za priznavanje sorti registrovala zaključno sa 2008. godinom. U Odeljenju za povrtarstvo se proizvodi seme 25 različitih povrtarskih vrsta, a u okviru njih se nalazi oko 90 novostvorenih ili odomaćenih sorti i hibrida.

Over the last ten years in Serbia, garlic has been produced on about 9,000 ha annually. Although this makes Serbia a major European producer of the crop in terms of area planted, the total production of garlic in the country is still very low. The increase of average yield and production of garlic in Serbia requires the introduction of modern varieties and the use of certified planting material. The present paper discusses the main biological characteristics of garlic, with special emphasis on the principles of planting material production. The advancement and expansion of garlic production in Serbia could make garlic one of the country's major exports to European markets. Proizvodnja belog luka u Srbiji u poslednjih deset godina se organizuje na oko 9000 ha, tako da smo prema zasađenim površinama značajni evropski proizvođači, ali ukupna produkcija je veoma niska. Da bi se povećala proizvodnja, a samim tim i prosečan prinos neophodno je uvođenje savremenog sortimenta uz korišćenje deklarisanog sadnog materijala. U radu su prikazane osnovne biološke specifičnosti belog luka, sa posebnim osvrtom na principe proizvodnje sadnog materijala. Unapređenjem i proširenjem ove proizvodnje beli luk bi postao značajan proizvod u izvozu na evropsko tržište.

Vegetables comprise a fairly large number of crop species differing phenotypically and genotypically as well as in how they are grown and used. The main task of vegetable production is increased production of quality vegetables. In this context, breeding is of special importance as the basis for the development of new and improved cultivars and hybrids. Breeding of vegetables has always had as its goal the development of cultivars with increased genetic potentials for yield for the purpose of increasing total vegetable production and the quality of human nutrition. In the last few decades, new techniques have been added to the list of traditional methods of breeding and developing new vegetable cultivars. The new methods of vegetable selection have focused on resolving the issues of early maturity, heterosis, inheritance of certain traits, resistance to diseases and pests, and so on. The vegetable cultivars developed at the Institute have been designed not only to have a high genetic potential for yield but also to be able to satisfy the requirements of the discerning vegetable market in terms of appearance and taste as well as to be well-adapted to the domestic agroecological conditions. The Institute's vegetable program has released on the domestic and foreign markets a range of cultivars intended for fresh use, processing and canning that can be successfully grown year round both indoors and outdoors. Povrće je skup većeg broja biljnih vrsta koje se međusobno razlikuju kako po fenotipu i genotipu tako i po načinu gajenja i korišćenja. Osnovni zadatak u proizvodnji povrća jeste povećanje proizvodnje kvalitetnog povrća. Od posebnog značaja za takav vid povećanja proizvodnje jeste selekcija kao osnova stvaranja novih i boljih sorti i hibrida. Oplemenjivanje povrtarskih biljaka imalo je za cilj, u prošlosti i sadašnjosti, stvaranje soti većeg genetskog potencijala rodnosti, a za povećanje ukupne povrtarske proizvodnje, za bolju i kvalitetniju ljudsku ishranu. U poslednjih nekoliko decenija tradicionalni načini oplemenjivanja i stvaranja novih sorti prošireni su uvođenjem novih tehnika. Korišćenjem savremenih metoda oplemenjivanja kod povrtarskih biljaka rad je usmeren na rešavanja pitanja ranostasnosti, heterozisa, nasleđivanja pojedinih osobina, otpornosti prema bolestima i štetočinama, itd. Pored stvaranja sorti visokog genetičkog prinosa, vodilo se računa i o tome da sorte svojim izgledom i ukusom zado- voljavaju zahteve probirljivog tržišta povrća i da su prilagođene našim agroekološkim uslovima gajenja. Stvoren je određeni sortiment povrća priznat u zemlji i inostranstvu, a može uspešno da se gaji tokom cele godine na otvorenom polju i u zaštićenom prostoru namenjen korišćenju svežem, prerađenom i konzervisanom stanju.

Loose head packing is a frequent problem in cabbage production. This undesirable characteristic is typically attributed to the cabbage itself, when it is grown under unfavorable conditions and when it receives poor cultivation practices. Because of market demand on one side and weather conditions and cultivation practices on the other, cabbage is mainly harvested in a single turn. Furthermore, the harvested heads are not handled with due care. In other words, correct choice and application of cultivation practices may greatly improve head packing in the cabbage. Rastresitost ili slaba zbijenost glavica je problem na koji svaki proizvođač kupusa nailazi tokom proizvodnje. Često se ovo nepoželjno svojstvo pripisuje samom kupusu, koji više puta raste u manje povoljnim uslovima uz nepotpunu agrotehniku, što ima za posledicu slabiju zbijenost. Na jednoj strani zbog tržišta, na drugoj zbog vremenskih uslova i agrotehnike, berba kupusa se uglavnom obavlja jednokratno. Takođe, sa manje pažnje se manipuliše glavicama. Kad se svi ovi faktori saberu, glavica kupusa jednostavno nema optimalne uslove za pravilno formiranje, zbog čega se agrotehnika mora prilagoditi svakoj fenofazi rasta kupusa, a posebno periodu zavijanja glavice i berbe, kad je zbijenost glavice pri kraju formiranja.

In all of its work on vegetables thus far, the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad has been keeping pace with the latest advancements in vegetable genetics and breeding using all the newest methods to make its work in this field easier, faster, safer and more successful. The Institute workers have been making sure that the vegetable cultivars they develop not only produce high yields but also that they meet the requirements of the highly discriminating vegetable market in their appearance and flavor as well as that they are adapted to our country agroecological conditions and economical in their consumption of all agricultural inputs. They have developed and released home and abroad a range of vegetable cultivars that make it possible to increase the production of high-quality vegetables and grow vegetable cultivars suitable for fresh use, processing and canning all year round outdoors as well as indoors. The range includes domestic and domesticated varietal populations as well as newly developed cultivars and hybrids. The Institute vegetable cultivars and specific recommendations for their successful production have been presented at the Seminar of Agronomists hosted by the Institute as well as at many other scientific and technical meetings. Tokom dosadašnjeg rada na genetici i oplemenjivanu povrća u Naučnom institutu za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo praćen je napredak u toj oblasti i korišćene sve savremene metode radi olakšavanja, ubrzavanja i činjenja tog rada sigurnijim i uspešnijim. Sem o stvaranju sorata visokog prinosa vodilo se računa o tome da sorte svojim izgledom i ukusom zadovoljavaju zahteve probirljivog tržišta povrća, da su prilagođene našim agroklimatskim uslovima i ekonomične u potrošnji svih inputa u proizvodnju. Stvoren je sortiment povrća priznat u zemlji i inostranstvu koji daje mogućnost povećanje proizvodnje kvalitetnog povrća i gajenje tokom cele godine na otvorenom polju i u zaštićenom prostoru namenjen korišćenju u svežem, prerađenom ili konzervnom stanju. Ovaj sortiment čine domaće i odomaćene sortne populacije i novostvorene sorte i hibridi. Sorte i specifični saveti za njihovu uspešnu proizvodnju prezentovani su na Seminarima agronoma novosadskog Instituta i mnogobrojnim drugim naučnim i stručnim skupovima.

As a result of the great biological diversity of the cultivated vegetable crop species, there are many different methods of vegetable production, each with its own accompanying growing technology. The intensive development of vegetable growing that began in 1975 triggered a parallel development of research closely tied with the needs of vegetable production. Today vegetable production takes the forms of year-round field production intended for various types of processing, field production intended for the fresh market, intensive garden production, and indoor vegetable production. Research conducted as part of developing environmentally-friendly ways of field vegetable production has resulted in the development of methods for the mechanized covering of soil with black biodegradable foil, while early vegetable production is carried out by covering the plants with materials known as agrotextiles, in which case the best results are achieved by combining mulching and direct covering of plants. Indoor vegetable production has gone through the largest amount of technical and technological change and is a form of industrial vegetable production on different substrates using controlled and programmed mineral nutrition as well as microclimate regulation using different materials for light and temperature regulation. The importance of vegetables comes not only from their role as food and medicine (as a medicinal supplement and part of folk medicine) but also from their aesthetic value, as today they are part of horticultural management of gardens and green spaces. For each of the above methods of growing, an adequate cultivar range was tested and the quality of the end product and its nutritive value were monitored. Growing of a larger number of vegetable crop species and the use of secondary products of crop growing has led to the development of environmentally-friendly growing methods, which are part of sustainable development. The transition from conventional to sustainable production leads through production based on principles of good agricultural practice (GAP). All research results are important for the development of different production technologies. Today, they are the most important segments of modern technologies, including the GIS system of precision satellite-guided production, which, along with the use of the latest technical solutions, must guarantee economic gain and environmental safety. Proizvodnju povrća, intenzivnu, kompleksnu granu biljne proizvodnje odlikuje više načina gajenja većeg broja biološki i genetski različitih vrsta. Od tradicionalnog baštenskog gajenja danas se povrtarstvo razvilo u tržišni oblik proizvodnje, u koji je uključen odgovarajući sortiment uz primenu naučnoistra- živačkih rezultata koji su tesno vezani za različite oblike proizvodnje povrća. Danas se proizvodnja povrća odvija u okviru njivske proizvodnje namenjene različitim oblicima prerade, za svežu pijacu, baštenske proizvodnje i proizvodnje u zaštićenom prostoru. U okviru ekoloških načina proizvodnje kako na otvorenom tako i u zaštićenom prostoru, primenjuju se najsavremenjia tehničko tehnološka rešenja, kojima se osigurava ekonomska dobit i ekološka sigurnost.

Pepper (Capsicum L) has great economic significance in our country, where it is one of the most important crops. It has high nutritional and biological value as well as many uses, including fresh consumption, pickling, baking and freezing, It can also be used as a condiment or as raw material for various types of industrial processing. Pepper is a vegetable that makes use of intensive agricultural systems and its cultivation is labor-intensive. It produces large profits per unit area. In Serbia, and especially in Vojvodina there are highly favorable agroecological conditions for pepper growing. To ensure high and stable pepper yields, growers must provide the crop with fertile and well-structured soil, appropriate crop rotation, top-quality tillage and seedbed preparation, and adequate fertilizer application, both organic and mineral. The success of pepper production also depends on the quality of transplant production, the proper timing of sowing when growing transplants, the process of transplant tending and preparation, and the transplanting procedure itself. High and stable pepper yields are obtained by the use of appropriate growing technologies during the growing season, most notably by the use of cultivation, irrigation, top dressing, protection from weeds, pests and diseases, and well-timed harvesting. Paprika (Capsicum L) u našoj zemlji ima veliki privredni značaj. Spada u grupu najznačajnijih kultura. Ima visoku hranljivu i biološku vrednost. Može se koristiti na različite načine, kao sveža, kisela, pečena, smrznuta dodatak raznim jelima a u industriji predstavlja sirovinu za različite vidove prerade. Spada u grupu intenzivnih povrtarskih kultura. Zahteva veliko angažovanje ljudskoga rada. Ona je visokoakumulativna kultura, jer ostvaruje visok dohodak po jedinici površine. U Srbiji, a posebno u Vojvodini, postoje veoma povoljni agroekološki uslovi za uspešno gajenje povrtarske paprike. Za ostvarivanjevisokih i stabilnih prinosa neophodno je obezbediti plodno i strukturno zemljište, odgovarajući plodored, odnosno plodosmenu, i kvalitetnu obradu i predsetvenu površinsku pripremu zemljišta kao i primene đubrenja kako organskih tako i mineralnih. Uspešna proizvodnja paprike zavisi nadalje, od kvalitetne proizvodnje rasada, pravovremene setve za proizvodnju rasad, nege, pripreme rasada i rasađivanje. Stabilni i visoki prinosi se ostvaruju primenom odgovarajuće tehnologije gajenjem u toku vegetacije, a to je pre svega, kultiviranje, navodnjavanje, prihranjivanje i zaštita od korova, bolesti i štetočina, kao i pravovremene berbe ploda paprike.

Because of the biological particularities of vegetables, different methods are used to produce seeds of different vegetable species. The large number of vegetable species, differences in their reproduction coefficients, and the considerable necessity for human labor all make vegetable seed production diverse and specific as well as profitable. This is what makes vegetable seed production such an important part of the Institute activities, which have a large influence on the volume, quality and development of vegetable seed production in the country. Importantly, almost 90% of our country vegetable seed production (with the exception of potato) takes place in the province of Vojvodina. The Institute organized production of vegetable seeds contributes to the overall success of this activity at the national level and provides growers with seeds of over 80 vegetable cultivars and hybrids, encompassing 28 different vegetable species in total. Vegetable seed production is diverse and species-specific. Some vegetable species reproduce vegetatively, some by generative propagation, while some do it both ways. An important issue that must not be overlooked when producing vegetable seeds is that of spatial isolation, as some species are self-pollinated, while others are open-pollinated or facultative. Based on the acreage sown in 2004, the annual demand for vegetable seeds (excluding potato) in Serbia is around 19,000 tons. The Institute produces around 30 different vegetable species, including more than 80 cultivars and hybrids. In addition to producing seeds of high seed categories (super elite and elite), the Institute also produces commercial seeds (original and certified) for the domestic and foreign markets. Biološke specifičnosti povrća uslovljavaju različite metode pri proizvodnji semena. Brojnost vrsta, razlike u koeficijentu razmnožavanja i značajno učešće ljudskog rada čine proizvodnju semena povrća raznolikom, specifičnom ali i profitabilnom. Stoga je semenarstvo povrća toliko značajna naučna i stručna oblast delovanja ali i uticaja Instituta na nivo i kvalitet proizvodnje i razvoj semenske proizvodnje povrća u zemlji. To je značajno i zbog činjenice da se skoro 90% semenske proizvodnje povrća odvija u Vojvodini (izuzev krompira). Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo organizovanom proizvodnjom doprinosi uspešnoj proizvodnji semena povrća i obezbeđuje proizvođače semenom od 28 povrtarskih vrsta, što uključuje preko 80 sorata i hibrida povrća. Proizvodnja semena povrća je specifična i raznovrsna. Neke vrste se razmnožavaju vegetativno, druge generativno, a neke na oba načina. U ovoj proizvodnji se mora voditi računa o prostornoj izolaciji, s obzirom na način oplodnje, jer su neke samooplodne, druge stranooplodne ili fakultativne vrste. Na osnovu zasejanih površina u Srbiji 2004 godine, godišnje potrebe za semenom povrća iznose oko 19000 tona (sem krompira). Naučni institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo se bavi proizvodnjom od oko 30 povrtarskih vrsta, što uključuje preko 80 sorata i hibrida. Pored proizvodnje visokih kategorija semena (superelite i elite), proizvodi se i komercijalno seme (originali i prva sortna reprodukcija) za potrebe domaćeg prometa i izvoza.

The Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad has 44 newly developed, high-yielding vegetable cultivars, which can be grown in any of our countries vegetable growing regions, throughout the year, and both indoors and outdoors. In addition to the newly developed cultivars and hybrids, the Institute produces the basic and commercial seeds and processes, tests for quality, packages and distributes domestic and domesticated cultivars alike. The Institutes offer of vegetables totals more than 80 cultivars of various vegetable species. Povećanje prinosa i kvaliteta plodova povrća u najvećoj meri zavisi od sortimenta koji se gaji, agroekoloških uslova u proizvodnom regionu i primenjenog nivoa tehnologije proizvodnje. U zadnjih pedeset godina najveći doprinos u povećanju prinosa povrća dale su nove sorte i hibridi. Kako sa aspekta većeg potencijala za rodnost, tako i poboljšanom otpornošću na ekonomski značajne bolesti i štetočine.U radu su prikazane sorte i hibridi povrća Naučnog instituta za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, koje su adaptibilne za proizvodnju u našoj zemlji. Takođe, dat je prikaz proizvodnih rešenja, koje bi trebalo primeniti u cilju postizanja značajnijeg povećanja ukupne povrtarske proizvodnje.

Production of oyster mushroom has been intensified for the last two decades and it is developing further on. This has been achieved because of its nutritive value, medicinal effects and simple and cheep production. For their production, the substrate is prepared from waste cellulose material from agricultural production, straw, corn stalks, stems of pea and soybean sunflower husks, sawdust, wood shavings, etc. These materials are usually not utilized, often being burnt because of its low value. Due to an increase in the production of oyster mushroom, there is the need to study factors that directly affect its yields. In addition to the genetic potential of the strain concerned, oyster mushroom yields are also directly correlated with the quality of the substrate and the conditions of production. The raw materials must not only have a great capacity for water absorption, it is also important that the elements oyster mushrooms takes from the substrate are in the most favorable form for decomposition. In three years, at the Vegetables Department of the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad, several substrates were studied under laboratory conditions in order to determine the most suitable one for strains NS 77, NS 355 and NS 244, in terms of high yield. We studied the following substrates: soybean straw, corn stalks, sunflower stalks, wheat straw 50% + corn stalks 50%, wheat straw 50% + soybean straw 50%, wheat straw 50% + sunflower stalks 50%, and wheat straw as a control. Proizvodnja bukovače je naglo porasla u zadnje dve decenije i dalje je u usponu. Ovo je ostvareno zbog njene hranljive vrednosti, medicinskog efekta i jednostavne i jeftine proizvodnje. Za proizvodnju se koriste supstrati pripremljeni od ostataka celuloznog materijala iz poljoprivredne proizvodnje kao što su slama, stabljike kukuruza, stabljike graška i soje, ljuspice suncokreta, strugotine i dr. Ovaj materijal se obično više ne koristi, već se spaljuje zbog njegove male vrednosti. Zbog povećane proizvodnje potrebno je ispitati faktore koji direktno utiču na prinos. Na prinos bukovače osim genetskog potencijala soja direktno utiče i kvalitet supstrata kao i uslovi proizvodnje. Vrlo je bitno da sirovina osim velikog kapaciteta apsorpcije sadrži i elemente koji su u najpristupačnijem obliku usvajanja iz supstrata (Bugarski i Jovićević, 1993). Tokom tri godine u Zavodu za povrtarstvo Naučnog instituta za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo u Novom Sadu ispitano je nekoliko supstrata u kontrolisanim uslovima u cilju dobijanja najviših prinosa sojeve Pleurotus ostreatus NS 77, Pleurotus ostreatus NS 355 i Pleurotus ostreatus NS 244. Ispitivani su sledeći supstrati: sojina slama stabljike kukuruza, stabljike suncokreta, pšenična slama 50% + sojina slama 50%, pšenična slama 50% + stabljike kukuruza 50%, pšenična slama 50% stabljike suncokreta 50% i pšenična slama kao kontrola.

The parsley cultivars NS Molski and Aster were among the newly released vegetable cultivars registered by the Federal Commission for Variety Approval in 2003. They out yielded the standards in a series of long-term multilocation trials and have also performed well with regard to the rest of the traits tested in the trials. NS Molski is a medium late cultivar with a semi-erect rosette around 20 cm tall. The root is white and smooth and weighs about 150-160 g, on average. Root length is around 17 cm, while the neck and middle of the root have diameters of 5-6 and about 3 cm respectively. The root is beet-shaped and has around 6.2% of sucrose and about 18.6% of dry matter. The cultivar has a growing season of approximately 170 days and is intended for fresh consumption and industrial processing for dried use. Because of its characteristics, the roots of this cultivar are suitable for machine-lifting. Aster is a bean genotype with medium large grains of white color shaped as elliptical cylinders. It has determinate growth habit and a stem height of over 40 cm. Its tolerance to dominant bean diseases (bacterial, viral, anthracnose) during the growing season in the field is satisfactory. Aster forms its first pods at a height of around 20 cm, matures uniformly, has high resistance to pod cracking and is suitable for two-phased machine-harvesting. It has a highly delicious taste, meaning it has retained the outstanding flavor of the domestic population it originated from while improving other characteristics necessary for modern intensive bean production. We think that these newly released cultivars of parsley and bean with their good yields and outstanding taste will find a place in commercial agricultural production. Oplemenjivanje povrća u Naučnom institutu za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo ima za cilj stvaranje sorti koje po svojim osobinama zadovoljavaju zahteve tržišta i poljoprivredne proizvodnje prilagođene našem agroklimatskom području. Zahvaljujući dugogodišnjem oplemenjivačkom radu i bogatom genetskom materijalu povrća u Institutu stvorene se sorte koje u potpunosti zadovoljavaju sve ove zahteve. U ovom radu su iznesene glavne karakteristike sorti povrtarskog bilja priznatih od strane Savezne komisije u 2003. godini i to peršun NS Molski i pasulj Aster.

Pepper is one of the leading vegetable crops both in terms of the acreage sown and the range of uses. It gives high returns per unit area regardless of whether it is grown for seed or consumption. In view of the conditions and requirements of pepper production, consumption and processing, breeding is focused on the development of high-yielding varieties of a certain type, color and shape that are suitable for particular methods of growing and utilization. Breeding work carried out at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad has produced the following pepper varieties: bell pepper (Novosadska Bela Babura, Buketna 1, Atina, Anita and Vranjska), semi-bell pepper (Matica), tomato pepper (Novosađanka), elongated pepper (Una), and longum pepper (Krunica (sweet), Plamena (slightly hot)). A new elongated variety called Amfora was released in 2001, too. In a three-year study, it proved superior in terms of its morphological characteristics and had a 32% higher average yield of the physiologically mature fruit than the standard. The results achieved by this variety provide a realistic basis for its successful commercial growing. Paprika spada u vodeće povrtarske kulture. U Jugoslaviji se gaji na oko 25.000 ha. Specifičnosti vrste a i zahtevi tržišta sa jedne strane i klimatski uslovi sa druge strane, određuju rad na oplemenjivanju paprike. Imajući to u vidu proizilaze i pravci u selekciji i to: stvaranje pre svega sorti u tipu babure, kapije, turšijare, paradajz-paprike, šipke, feferone, žute, bele ili zelene boje ploda u tehnološkoj zrelosti, za proizvodnju u poljskim uslovima i zaštićenom prostoru a za različite vidove upotrebe.U oplemenjivanju se posebno obraća pažnja na stvaranje sorti dobrog kvaliteta ploda i to kako kvantitativnih tako i kvalitativnih osobina. U ovom radu date su glavne karakteristike novostvorene sorte paprike, amfora, priznate od strane savezne komisije u 2001. godini.

In the year 2000, the Federal Variety Commission registered seven new vegetable cultivars developed at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops: two pepper varieties - Krušnica (sweet pepper) and Plamena (slightly hot); the determinate tomato variety Knjaz; the salad-type cucumber Tajfun; two cultivars of garlic - Bosut and Labud; and the white bean cultivar Balkan. All these newly released cultivars have significantly outyielded the standard cultivars in trials lasting three years. They have also outperformed the standards with regard to the other morphological characteristics, such as fruit mass, fruit length, pericarp thickness, grain mass, dry matter content, bulb mass, clove mass, and others. Oplemenjivanje povrća u Institutu za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo ima za cilj stvaranje sorti koje po svojim osobinama zadovoljavaju zahteve tržišta, industrijske prerade, zelene pijace, zahteve intenzivne proizvodnje i ishrane ljudske populacije. Zahvaljujući dugogodišnjem oplemenjivačkom radu i bogatom genetskom materijalu povrća u Institutu, stvorene su sorte koje u potpunosti zadovoljavaju sve ove zahteve. U ovom radu su iznesene glavne karakteristike sorti povrća priznatih od strane Savezne komisije u 2000 godini. To su paprike: Krušnica i Plamena; paradajza: Knjaz; beli luk: Bosut i Labud; krastavca: Tajfun te pasulj: Balkan.
