THE APPLICATION OF PRECISION FARMING PRINCIPLES ON THE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE PARAMETERS OF APPLE PRODUCTION, IN THE VOINESTI-DAMBOVITA

Abstract

The aim of this study, is to establish and compare the quality and quantity parameters for apple production, in the Voinesti-Dambovita station, for Florina and Generos cultivars. It was established the influence of cultivar on the quality and quantity parameters, in the same pedogenetics conditions and the same applied technology, with the aim of classification of fruits in quality class. The fruit size, measured at diameter leads to their classification in “extra†class, according to standards market for fresh apples. Regarding the average weight of fruit was found that the values are covered by the specific parameters of cultivar, but not with the big differences. Therefore, based on these study, we established that the influence of cultivar is important but it is necessary to improve the technology for a better production.
