Morphological characteristics of autochtonous tomato sultivars

Cilj ovog rada je bio opisati morfološke karakteristike autohtonih sorti rajčice. U istraživanju je korišteno šest sorti rajčice koje su posađene na otvoreno polje. Istraživanje je provedeno na pokušalištu Fakulteta agrobiotehničkih znanosti Osijek koje se nalazi u Tenji. Praćene su faze rasta i razvoja koje su bile zabilježene putem fotografija te su biljke opisane pomoću UPOV obrasca. Prema njihovom opisu i razlikama te plodonošenju, ove autohtone sorte se mogu preporučiti za uzgoj pogotovo što tijekom rasta i razvoja ovih sorti na otvorenom polju nije došlo do pojave bolesti i štetnika. Prema tome, sve opisane sorte predstavljaju iznimno vrijedan genetski materijal za daljnja istraživanja i razvoj novih sorata.The aim of this study was to describe the morphological characteristics of autochthonous tomato cultivars. Six tomato cultivars planted in the open field were used in the study. The research was conducted at the experimental station of the Faculty of Agrobiotechnical Sciences Osijek located in Tenja. The stages of growth and development that were recorded through photographs were monitored and the plants were described using the UPOV description form. According to their description, morphological differences and fruiting, these autochthonous cultivars can be recommended for production, especially since during the growth and development of these varieties in the open field there were no diseases and pests recorded. Therefore, all the described cultivars represent valuable genetic material for further research and development of new cultivars
