Pomological traits of some once-bearing figs in the area of Trebinje

Abstract

The paper presents the results of studying bearing state in the four once-bearing fig cultivars: Tenice, Termenjača, Zimnica and Šaragulja in the region of Herzegovina (Trebinje) in the period from 2001-2002.

Study results indicated that the cultivars varied in fruit mass, dry matter content, yield and ripening time. The fruit mass was the lowest in Zimnica (27,81 g), and the highest in Termenjača (53,33 g). The total dry matter was the lowest Zimnica (19,00%), and the highest in Tenice (23,11%). The cultivars were found to considerably vary in cropping per tree, i.e. per unit area, with the lowest yield detected in the cultivar Zimnice (51,10 kg/tree), and the highest one in Termenjača (63,20 kg/tree). The differences in yield can be explained as an interaction between the cultivar genotype and agro-pomotechnical measures applied. 

The earliest fruit ripening related to Tenice (05.08.), and the latest to Zimnice (15.08.).
