- Ustanova vodi poreklo od Uglednog dobra i vrta formiranog 2. februara 1884. godine odlukom Podružine kruševačke Srpskog poljoprivrednog društva na Drugom glavnom zboru a “na osnovu tvrdog uverenja da se neposrednim primernim radovima na oglednim dobrima, najjače i najbrže može dejstvovati na unapredjenje poljoprivrede narodne”. U toku svoje istorije, menjani su nazivi i delimično nadležnosti, a od 21. oktobra 1932. godine postaje naučna ustanova spajanjem Agrobotaničkog odseka Poljoprivredne ogledne i kontrolne stanice u Topčideru i Poljoprivredne stanice u Kruševcu

Raspberry is a perennial deciduous plant, bushy or semi-shrubby, with annual and long biennial shoots, which belongs to the rose family. For many years, raspberries have been among the most economically important types of fruit in the Republic of Serbia. So far, there has been no systematic research on raspberry mycopopulation in Serbia. In this paper, we present the results of preliminary research on raspberry mycopopulation originating from Serbia. A total of 28 randomly collected samples from three locations in Serbia were analyzed. Root and stem were analyzed. Plant fragments were carefully washed under running water. The samples thus prepared were disinfected with 1% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) for 1 minute and washed three times in sterile distilled water. They were then dried on sterile filter paper and placed on potato dextrose agar (KDA). In each Petri dish, five fragments taken per sample were placed in five repetitions, and incubated in a thermostat at 24°C. The examination was performed every three days, and on most samples mycelia developed around the plant fragment by the 14th day. Microscopic examination was performed using an Olympus CX31 microscope. The frequency of isolation was calculated in % according to the formula: number of colonized parts with fungi/total number of analyzed plant parts x 100. A total of 700 plant fragments were examined, from which six genera of fungi were isolated: Didymella, Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Verticillium, Alternaria and Epicoccum.

Organically produced food is gaining increased attention from consumers due to the belief that, besides being environmentally friendly, it also contains higher quantities of phytochemical components that play a protective role in human health. In this study, carrots grown organically by six different certified producers were analyzed. The antioxidant nutritional quality of fresh organic carrots, thermally processed juice at 70 °C and 90 °C, and dried slices (55 °C) was investigated. Variations in the concentration of vitamin C, β-carotenoids, total phenolic compounds (TPC), and total antioxidant activity (TAA) were observed depending on the producer and the method of thermal processing. The minimal
losses of phytochemical components were observed during juice pasteurization at 70 °C, while the drying process resulted in the highest losses. Additionally, a significant positive correlation was identified among vitamin C, β-carotenoids, and TPC with TAA content.
Monitoring of germination ability of conidi of Eutypa lata fungus anamorphic stage isolated from grapevine in Serbia.
(The Balkans Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, Belgrade, 2024-06-27) Živković, Sanja; Vasić, Tanja; Filipović, S.; Vasiljević, B.; Katanić, V.; Jevremović, D.; Marković, Jordan
The germination of conidia of anamorphic stage of four Eutypa lata isolates (EL117, EL219, EL227, EL310), previously determined at the molecular level, and two reference isolates BX1.10 and 8F obtained from the Institute National de la Recherche Agronomique, INRA, France was monitored in an in vitro experiment. Conidia germination was performed in two methods. The first method of conidia germination was performed by transferring the conidia to YPDA (Yeast Potato Dexstrose Agar), and the second method of germination of conidia, originating from PDA, MA, GWA and WA media, was performed in a drop of sterile water under UV lights for 24 h. By comparing the germination results using the above methods, it was found that the percentage of conidia germination in both cases was very low. Calculation revealed that the average percentage of conidia germination was very low, 0.12%, when germinated on YPDA medium, while the average percentage of conidia germination by exposure to UV light for 15 days was 0.15%.
Evaluating the inclusion of pumpkin seed cake in dairy cows diet on milk production

Pumpkin seed cake, a byproduct of pumkin seed oil processing, is used as lactating cows feeds. Due to the high content of crude protein and high concentration of unsaturated fatty acids, pumpkin seed cake could be a good quality feedstuff for ruminants. There is an increased interest in finding alternative protein feeds that can be produced to substitute concentrate components of diets. This study was conducted to evaluate pumpkin seed cake as a substitute for the concentrate component in the diet of lactating cows based on milk production. Eight lactating cows were included in this study with 21 days period of investigation. The cows were divided into two groups: group one was in 60-90 days of lactation and group two was in 120-150 days of lactation. Milk production was measured for 7 consecutive days, from days 1 to 7, 8 to 14 and 15 to 21, respectively. Results of this study showed that pumpkin seed cake is a great source of protein (65.49% of DM) for ruminants, end especially for high producing cows. An increase in milk yield was recorded in this study by 6.68% in the first cows group, and by 7.92% in the second cows group where cowʼs diet was supplemented with pumpkin seed cake.
Influence of different substrates on the quality of pepper seedlings (Capsicum annuum L.)
(Faculty of Agronomy in Čačak, University of Kragujevac,, 2024-03-14) Pavlović, Nenad; Crepuljarević, Vladimir; Mladenović, Jelena; Marjanović, Miloš; Bošković-Rakočević, Ljiljana; Tomić, Dalibor; Gavrilović, Marija; Zdravković, Jasmina
The paper shows the influence of different substrates on the quality of pepper seedlings. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that different substrates had an impact on the biological-morphological characteristics of pepper seedlings. The best results for most of the analyzed biological-morphological characteristics of pepper seedlings, according to the results obtained by the experiment, are related to the substrates “Glistenjak", "K-Potgrond H-Black 90%" and “K-TS1-White 100%”, while the worst results were achieved on the examined substrates of “Coconut Cube”. The mean value for all traits was recorded on the substrate “K- Seedling substrat”.
