Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the impact of different agro ecological conditions on the physical (weight, height, width, thickness) and chemical (the soluble solids content (%), total sugar content (%), total acid content (%) and maturity index) characteristics of five peach varieties in Herzegovina. The fruits for analysis were taken of Maycrest, Springcrest, Spring Lady, Rich Lady and Elegant Lady varieties from the area of Mostar, Stolac and Čapljina for three years (2009–2011). The results of research show that the locality influenced the examined physical parameters of the fruits, but had no effect on the fruit/stone ratio (randman). The highest values of the weight, height, width and thickness of the fruit and stone were recorded in Rich Lady and Elegant Lady peaches in the Dubrava plateau (Stolac).

The results show statistically significant differences in the chemical composition of peach fruit depending on variety and locality. The highest average soluble solid content and total sugars were measured in the Elegant Lady in Mostar, while the lowest content of these compounds was found in the Maycrest and Rich Lady.

The highest total acid content was found in Maycrest variety in Stolac and the lowest content in the Elegant Lady variety (Mostar). The largest sweetnes index had the variety the Elegant Lady (Mostar), and the lowest variety of the Maycrest in Stolac.

It can be concluded that the investigated varieties in all three localities had an excellent quality of fruit in terms of physical and chemical characteristics and can be recommended to farmers for wide cultivation in Herzegovina.
