OVERVIEW OF SUITABLE APPLE VARIETIES FOR ORGANIC GROWING

Danas je jabuka jedna od najvažnijih i najraširenijih voćnih vrsta u Hrvatskoj, a kada govorimo o njezinom uzgajanju, moramo reći da zbog svih današnjih problema koji se javljaju zbog kvalitete hrane, potražnja za ekološkim voćem te samom jabukom sve više i više raste. Ekološka proizvodnja jabuka predstavlja ogroman potencijal zbog mnoštva odlika sorata koje uspijevaju u našem podneblju i zbog nezagađene prirode. Što se tiče sadnje, trebamo koristiti dobro selekcionirane i rane sorte koje su otporne prema brojnim bolestima te štetnicima. Najvažniji čimbenici kod uzgoja jabuke su tlo, agrotehnika, klima te položaj terena. Prije nego što odlučimo podići nasad, trebamo imati dobar plan, moramo imati vrlo dobro i kvalitetno pripremljeno tlo, moramo paziti kada uzimamo sadnice i da su one deklarirane po zakonu, sadnice se također moraju pravilno pognojiti te zasaditi. Na kraju moramo voditi računa koje ćemo mjere zaštite i njege primijeniti na samu kulturu te voditi računa kako ćemo obrati plodove i gdje i kako ćemo ih uskladištiti.. Postoji veliki broj sorata za ekološki uzgoj te su u radu opisane: Enterprise, Pinova, Resi, Topaz, Pingo, Božićnica, Pilot, Florina, Renora, Delbar Jubile, Reika, Retina, Gold Rush, Reanda i Francuska kožarka.Today, the apple is one of the most important and widespread fruit species in Croatia, and when we talk about its cultivation, we must say that due to all today's problems that occur when we talk about the health of food itself, the demand for organic fruit and the apple itself is growing. Organic apple production itself represents a huge potential due to the many characteristics of varieties that thrive in our climate and due to the unpolluted nature. When we talk about planting, we need to use well-selected and early varieties that are resistant to many diseases and pests. The most important factors in apple growing are the soil, agricultural techniques, climate and the position of the terrain. Before we decide to raise a plantation, we need to have a good plan, we need to have very good and well-prepared soil, we need to make sure when we take seedlings that they are declared by law, seedlings must also be properly fertilized and planted. In the end, we must take care of what protection and care measures we will apply to the culture itself and take care of how we will harvest the fruits and where and how we will store them.
