KARAKTERIZACIJA STARIH RATARSKIH SORTI TREBINJSKOG KRAJA

Abstract

In the rural areas of the Trebinje region, individual agricultural producers have managed to preserve old varieties of beans and grains that are produced in an extensive way and in comparison with intensive varieties and hybrids give significantly lower yields. The traditional way of production from ancient times, the specific taste of food prepared from these varieties, medicinal properties, increasing demand and significantly higher prices compared to new varieties have influenced the increase in the area on which it is grown. The organization "Slow Food Convivium" from Trebinje in cooperation with the Faculty of Agriculture East Sarajevo performed chemical analyzes and characterization of old varieties from the area of Popov and Petrov field and the goal is to point out the importance of preserving these varieties and to popularize them among the population.
