The experiments were carried with two introduced quinao cultivars, KVL 37 and KVL 52, during the years 2010, 2011. and 2012., established at the experimental field in Stara Pazova. Three-year average yield of the grains of quinoa cultivars was 1322 kg ha-1, and expressed per cultivar ha-1 it accounted 1297 kg for KVL 37 and 1347 kg ha-1 for KVL 52....

In two-year experiments, conducted in 2009. and 2010, on the soil sub-type chernozem with signs of gley in loess (location Starcevo, South Banat), influence of different organic mulches on agro-physical characteristics and yield of carrot root, cultivars ˝Nantes SP-80˝, were investigated. The study included four types of organic mulches, as follows...

The aim of the study was to demonstrate how seed size and temperature regimes on seed quality affect the germination rate and total germination of quinoa. The energy and total germination quinoa variety KVL-37 have been investigated. Following the harvest, the seeds were dried and processed, and then the sample of seeds was separated for testing th...

This paper presents the basic concepts encountered in ethnobotany. First of all, an attempt has been made to define the field of ethnobotany research, to explain the definitions, objectives, methods, and procedures of research, to answer some questions, to resolve a dilemma faced by researchers in this field. It was a challenge to present a special...

This paper describes the effects of altitude on the content of polyphenolic compounds in the wild berry fruits. Berries are known as a good source of polyphenols, which contribute to the high antioxidant activity. Epidemiological studies have shown a correlation between a high intake of polyphenolic compounds and reduced risk of cardiovascular dise...
