BEHAVIOR OF SOME SMALL FRUIT AND SHRUB SPECIES ON SANDY SOILS IN SOUTHERN OLTENIA
Journal Title: FRUIT GROWING RESEARCH - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
On the sandy soils of Southern Oltenia small fruit sand shrubs have been studied since the 1980. The studied species were: strawberry, raspberries, blackberries, red and black currants and sea buckthorn. Strawberry behaves very well on sandy soils. If in 1984 the first harvest took place on 27 May and the harvest time was 41 days, in 2013 the first harvest was made on May 14 and the harvest time was only 24 days. Also, fruit production was almost double compared to 1984 (21.1 t/ha). The cultivated varieties, the cultivation method, and localized irrigation together with the other technological factors led to these results. The currants gave good results in sandy soil conditions. Between 1984 and 1992, by precocity and productivity at redcurrants were noticed the varieties ‘Jonkheer van Tets’ (7.4 t / ha), followed by ‘Erstlingaus Vierlanden’ (4.2 t / ha). In the period 1983-1995 at blackberries the varieties studied were: ‘Thornfree’, ‘Smoothstem’, ‘Evergreen’, ‘Loganberry’ and highlighted on production the varieties: ‘Thornfree’ (10.9 t/ha) and Smoothstem (7.1 t/ha). Under irrigation conditions, on sandy soils, were obtained the favorable pedoclimatic conditions, specific for the raspberry culture, the highlighted varieties were: ‘The Latham’, ‘Scopsca Alena’, ‘Rubin’ with productions of 8,9-9,2 tons / ha. Sea buckthorn was studied during the years 1985-1995, both as a species within a range of medicinal plants and within the fruit growing sector, to establish the culture technology. From the observations and determinations made, the sea buckthorn behaves very well in the conditions of the sandy soils, with productions of 11.0-13.0 t/ha. The vitamin C content averaged 130mg / 100g of fresh fruits.
