Projects

1. The improvement of artichoke production technologies


Main objectives of this project are:

  • increasing artichoke production area and continuons market supply
  • determination of:
    •  the best cultivars in each maturity group;
    •  the sowing dates in untypical area for artichoke production;
    •  the influence of different concentracion, time of apllication (phenophase) and number of tretment whit giberrelic acid on the earliness, yield and quality;
    •  the influence of non-wovn materials on winter hardiness,earliness yield and quality.

In order to achieve these aimes the number of on-farm experiments will be established. The experiments will be designed according to widely accepted methods in biometrics with necessary modification in on-farm research. Data related to yield quantity will be collected during the crop development and harvest.

2. Development of vagetable and flawer production in Dalmatia

Introduction of new cultivars of vegetables and cut flowers,application of modern tehnologies (mulch, irrigation, fertilizer management) in flower and vagetable production in Dalmatia are main objectives of this project. The objective is going to be fulfilled through a number of filed and greenhouse experiments on different locations.On each location the most promising cultivars of some of the selected species will be tested. The experiments are designed according to widely accepted methods (Cochran and Cox, 1953, steel and Torie, 1980)During the crop development and harvest, data related to quantity of the yield are going to be taken, as well as samples os supstrate and plant tissue needed for nutrient management. Lab analysis of the collected samples are going to be analysed with to standard analytical methods (Champan and Pratt, 1982: Gaines and Mitchell, 1979) and specific analytical methods for soilless media (Sonevold, 1990;Warncke, 1990)
