RODNOST STONIH SORTI INTERSPECIES HIBRIDA U USLOVIMA BANJALUČKE REGIJE

Interspecies hybrids are classified in a special category of domesticated grapevines. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, on the territory of Herzegovina, table grapes for commodity production and varieties with all ripening periods can be successfully grown. Starting from the interspecies hybrids characteristics and having in mind the non-existent tradition of table grape varieties production in northern Bosnia there is a need to introduce this type of varieties in experiments on this area. The paper presents the results of two - year research of introduced table varieties Palatina, Nero, Ester and Ruski rani which belong to the group of interspecies hybrids. The variety Shasla red was used as a comparative variety. The variety Palatina had the highest average grape cluster weight (251.3 g), while the variety Šasla crvena had the highest average absolute fertility coefficient (2.4). In the Ruski rani variety, a relatively high sugar content was noticed in the must (18.3%). All examined varieties deserve attention and they may have a significant place in table varieties production in the northern Bosnia, in the upcoming period.
