The effect of pollenizer on the fruit set of plum cultivar Čačanska Najbolja [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade), 2012
In this paper, during a 4-year period (2003-2006) effects of six pollenizers (President, Italian Prune, Stanley, Čačanska Rodna, Agen 707, and California Blue) on the degree of fruit set in the plum cultivar Čačanska Najbolja were examined.
