CLIMATE INFLUENCE ON TECHNOLOGY AND PROTECTION OF APPLE CULTIVATION IN DOBRO- PETRIC D. O. O. AND OPG BOJIĆ ORCHARDS

Jabuka (Malus Domestica) poznata je i kao “kraljiva voća“. Kako bi jabuku kao voćnu vrstu dobili zdravu i kvalitetnu, potrebno je dobro postaviti temelje uzgoja, i zaštite voćnog nasada, te joj samim time dati „kraljevski tretman“. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je usporedba nasada jabuke na dvije različite lokacije, Dobro-Petrić d.o.o iz Karlovca te na Obiteljskom poljoprivrednom gospodarstvu, Voćarstvo Boić iz Požege. Usporedbom ovih dvaju lokacija vidimo kako je uzgoj jabuke gotovo isti u oba nasada, ali ih razlikuju klimatski uvjeti. To se odražava na način da na imanju Dobro-Petrić d.o.o., imamo veći broj tretiranja iz razloga većeg broja kišnih dana, usporeno danima koji su bili ekstremno topli. Ovim klimatskim uvjetima stvorena idealna prilika za razvoj biljnih bolesti, te štetnih kukaca u nasadima jabuke, ali adekvatnom uporabom sredstava za zaštitu bilja, nastoji se jabuku održati zdravom, kao vrlo kvalitetan prehrambeni proizvod, a isto tako i kao sirovinu za daljnju preradu.Apple (Malus Domestica) is also known as "the queen of fruit." To get a healthy and quality apple it is necessary to set the foundation of breeding and protection of fruit plantation and through that we give the apple a "royal treatment." The aim of this graduate work is to compare the apple plantation on two different locations, Dobro - Petrić Ltd. from Karlovac and the Family Farm Voćarstvo Boić from Požega. By comparing these two locations, we see that growing apples is almost the same in both crops, but they differ in their climatic conditions. This is reflected in the way that Dobro - Petrić Ltd. we have a bigger number of treatments due to the bigger number of rainy days, which were slowed down during days that were extremely hot. Due to those climate conditions an ideal surrounding was created for the development of plant diseases and harmful insects in apple plants, but with the adequate use of plant protection products, it is intended to keep the apple healthy as a high quality food product as well as raw material for further processing.
