Pomological and chemical characteristics of fruit of some pear cultivars grown in conditions of Bratunac

This paper presents the results of the studies of some pomological characteristics (mass, length and width, shape index, petiole length, number and mass of seeds) and chemical properties of pear fruit (soluble dry matter, total and invert sugar, sucrose, total acidity, pH of fruit) for cultivars Bella di Giugno, Santa Maria and Williams. The study was conducted in 2011 in the ecological conditions of Bratunac. Based on the following indicators, our intension was to estimate success of breeding of these cultivars in the mentioned area. According to the obtained results, the best economic and biological characteristics showed the cultivar Bella di Giugno and Williams. The growth of these two cultivars in terms of Bratunac is reasonable and economically feasible, with the tendency of production increase in the mentioned area.
