- Abstract
The study aims to make a comparison between fourteen fig genotypes, grown in the South-West region of Romania, that have fruits with different quality traits and to assess which of these genotypes have elevated potential and represent valuable biological material for future propagation. Biometrical variables (weight, length, and width) were measured for the first and the main crop, stalk length and ostiole diameter were also measured. Visual observations were done and the fruits were characterized using the fig characterization given by IPGRI (The International Plant Genetic Resources Institute), 2003. The fruit weight had values between 67 g in SV2 and 11 g (S1), the fruit length varied between 5.6 cm (SV2) and 2.6 cm (S1) and the width of the fruits was between 2.81 cm (C1) and 4.68 cm (SV2) genotype. The total soluble solids/TSS (sugar) and the titratable acidity (TA) of the fruits were also assessed, the sugar content recording values of 17.41% Brix for IJ1 genotype and 27.83% Brix for C3 genotype.
