ABSTRACT
The study was conducted in the years 2011-2013 in a certified organic orchard belonging to Research Institute of Horticulture
in Skierniewice on 7 scab resistant apple cultivars (‘Free Redstar’, ‘Melfree’, ‘Rajka’, ‘Enterprise’, ‘Rewena’, ‘Rubinola’
and ‘Topaz`) and 3 low susceptible cvs. (‘Delbard Jubile’, ‘Ligolina’ and ‘Pinova’). A main goal of the study was to
assess quality and storability of apples from organic orchard. It was found that the quality characteristics of apples depend
largely on the genetic background of the variety. Differences between studied cultivars concerned quantity and intensity of
skin color. Among them 'Free Redstar', 'Enterprise' and 'Rajka' belong to the group of dark-skinned ones. Under organic
orchard conditions the highest weight of 100 fruits was obtained in case of ‘Melfree’, ‘Rajka’, ‘Enterprise’ and 'Delbard
Jubile', while 'Rubinola', 'Rajka' and ‘Pinova’ produced the smallest apples. Due to the high acidity of apples, all studied
cultivars are suitable both for the fresh market and processing. Study have shown that using the limited protection program
against fungal diseases the smallest number of symptoms of apple scab was observed on ‘Pinova’ and ‘Ligolina’ fruits as
well as on scab resistant cultivars. Apples of most cultivars were kept in cold storage for four months. Extending that period
led to decreasing flesh firmness and increasing physiological disorders. The period of keeping organic apples in common
cold storage was limited by storage diseases, mostly bull’s eye rot (Pezicula sp.). ‘Pinova’ and ‘Topaz’ cvs. were the most
susceptible to the disease.
