Description
Summary:In the period 2002-2004 have been studied 131 Jujube types in the experimental orchards of Agricultural Institute in Skopje. They are progeny derived from six varieties of Jujube: Zu tao czao, Da baj czao, Kitajski 2A, Wild midleasiatic jujube type, Ja czao, Vahshski 45-2. The seeds of these varieties were obtained by open pollination. Studies were done on the 7-9 aged plants in full fertility. Characteristics of fruits, fruit dimensions and mass of fruit were determined. It was established that the variety Kitajski 2A has the largest fruits (13.1 g). The progeny of the same variety (Kitajski 2A) is characterized with the largest fruits (8.9 g), and the progeny of the variety with the smallest fruits between varity-mothers - Da baj czao is characterized with the smallest fruits (6.3 g). The type 21/6 has an average the largest fruits (22.2 g), while the smallest are the fruits of the type 16/4 (1.8 g). The fruits from type 21/6 are bigger than fruits of the biggest Jujube variety introduced in R Macedonia -Ta jan czao.
