| Title : | YIELD AND QUALITY OF GRAPES FROM MONTENEGRIN SEEDLESS VARIETIES IN THE PODGORICA SUBREGION |
| Abstract : | This study presents the results of research on the agrobiological, economic and technological characteristics of Montenegrin seedless grapevine varieties grown in the ampelographic collection of the Biotechnical Faculty in Podgorica. The research was conducted in 2020–2021 period. The highest grape yield and cluster weight were recorded in the variety PIT 15 (2.23 kg/m² and 428 g), while the lowest values were observed in the variety Razaklija Besjemena (1.45 kg/m² and 225 g). The variety PIT 15 also exhibited the highest average berry weight (3.23 g), whereas the smallest berries were measured in the variety Podgorička Besjemena (2.64 g). The sugar content in grape juice varied significantly among the studied varieties. The highest sugar levels were recorded in varieties PIT 14 (16.2%) and Podgorička Besjemena (16.1%), while the lowest sugar levels were observed in PIT 15 and Razaklija Besjemena (15.3%). The total acidity of the grape juice was generally low during both years of the study, which is characteristic of Mediterranean climatic conditions such as those in Montenegro. The highest average acidity over the two years was found in the variety PIT 14 (5.40 g/L), while the lowest acidity was recorded in PIT 15 (4.70 g/L). Statistical analysis revealed that the differences among all the parameters studied were highly significant. |
