Pomological evaluation of peach and nectarine varieties promising from commercial growing point of view
Jababu, Nambe
According FAO data, peach production in Czech Republic has been very low, for the past two decades averages production has been around 2000 tonnes; whilst consumption for the same period keeps growing; like in the case of most fruit. To be able to bridge the gap between production and consumption, and of course to also increase the income of the local producers, this research was carried out to evaluate some selected peach and nectarine cultivars on the Experimental Orchard (Lednice, south Moravia, Czech republic) of the Faculty of Horticulture of The Mendel University, in 2013, to select and recommend cultivars that will suit and boost productivity of the local growers in Czech Republic. 36 cultivars and 24 parameters were evaluated. Traits and parameters for evaluation were chosen according to the Peach Descriptors for Variability (Nitransky, Holubec, 1992). Evaluations, was done with 3fruits randomly selected from each cultivar. Statistical analysis was done with the software Statistica 12 with Tukey HSD test. 8 cultivars were recommended at the end of the experiment.
