ECONOMY AND RAISING HAZELNUT PLANTATIONS ON THE BALOG FAMILY FARM

Na OPG-u Balog za sadnju lijeske odlučeno je iz razloga što početna ulaganja nisu prevelika (ako već posjedujete vlastito zemljište), višestruka uporabna vrijednost, biljka ne zahtjeva prevelike agrotehničke mjere i dosta su povoljni agroekološki uvjeti za lijesku u našem kraju. U radu je opisana morfologija lijeske, pomotehnika i agrotehnika od sadnje do berbe lijeske, te ekonomija na vlastitom primjeru (OPG-u Balog). Literatura je korištena iz knjiga. Uzgojni oblik je stablo, nasad je u ekološkoj proizvodnji, od sorti imamo: Istarski duguljasti, Rimski, Lambert i Tonda Gentile delle Langhe. Danas u trogodišnjem nasadu posjedujemo oko 600 stabala na površini od 1,15 ha.The Balog family farm decided to plant hazelnuts because the initial investments are not too big (if you already own your own land), multiple use value, the plant does not require too much agrotehnical measures and agroecological conditions for hazelnuts are quite favorable in our area. The paper describes the morphology of hazelnuts, auxiliary techniques and agrotechnics from planting to harvesting hazelnuts, and economics on its our own example (OPG Balog). Literature was used from books. The cultivation form is a tree, the plantation is in organic production, of the varieties we have: Istrian oblong, Roman, Lambert and Tonda Gentile delle Langhe. Today, in a three-year plantation, we have obout 600 trees on an area od 1.15 ha
