The University of Novi Sad is an educational, scientific and art institution
founded by the Republic of Serbia. Educational activities in Vojvodina and Novi
Sad have a tradition of more than a few hundred years.
The University of Novi Sad was founded on June 28, 1960. and it represents an
autonomous institution for education, science and arts.
The University is comprised of 13 faculties located in the four
major cities of the autonomous Province of Vojvodina: Novi Sad,
Subotica, Zrenjanin, Sombor.
The Faculty of agriculture is one of the oldest within the University of Novi
Sad. It was founded in 1954.
The scope of work at the Faculty covers
the following units:
Departments:
• For field and vegetable crops
• For animal science
• For fruit science, viticulture,
horticulture and landscape
architecture
• For agricultural economics
• For agricultural engineering
• For plant protection
• For water management
• For veterinary medicine
The Faculty organizes the bachelor, MsC and PhD studies.

The practical work of the students, as well as
the scientific – research work
EXPERIMENTAL FIELD FOR VITICULTURE AND FRUIT SCIENCE
Experimental field is derived from
the Regional Institute for viticulture
and wine production.
This is one of the oldest Institutes at
the Faculty of Agriculture.
It was founded in 1947, in the
Sremski Karlovci, small town, 12km
far from Novi Sad, located on the
slopes of the Fruska Gora mountain.
This Institute was integrated with
the Institute of the same name at
the Faculty of Agriculture in 1972.
From that time, they work together,
under the same name
EXPERIMENTAL FIELD FOR FRUIT SCIENCE – RIMSKI ŠANČEVI
Trials fields at two locations:
- 36 ha at Rimski Šančevi
(nursery, experimental
orchards)
- 20 ha at Gladnoš
(experimental orchards in
future)
Pomological colection with over 2000 genotypes
EXPERIMENTAL FIELD FOR FRUIT SCIENCE – RIMSKI ŠANČEVI
Cultivars released:
5 walnuts
4 apricots
6 columnar apples
EXPERIMENTAL FIELD FOR VITICULTURE – SREMSKI KARLOVCI
The whole research work in viticulture
could be systematized into four
sections:
• Ampelographic research
(Ampelographical collection with
over 750 genotypes)
• Grapevine breeding
• Grapevine physiology
• Grapevine agrotechnique
Sremski Karlovci (30 ha)
In experimental field were bred
21 new grape cultivars and 3
Clones of Riesling italian.
EXPERIMENTAL FIELD FOR VITICULTURE – SREMSKI KARLOVCI
Depending on the plant breeding
objectives, three phases in creating new
grape varieties were determined:
PHASE 1
Objective: Improvement of the quality of
cultivated autochthonous grape vine
varieities (Smederevka, Kevidinka,
Prokupac, Kadarka) by its cross-breeding
with top quality Western European grape
varieties.
EXPERIMENTAL FIELD FOR VITICULTURE – SREMSKI KARLOVCI
PHASE 2
Objectives: Resistance to low winter
temperatures
Grape and wine quality
Cross-breedings include hereditary base of
Eastern Asian species called Vitis
amurensis which is known for its high
resistance to low temperatures, tolerance
to fungal diseases and short vegetation.
EXPERIMENTAL FIELD FOR VITICULTURE – SREMSKI KARLOVCI
PHASE 3
Objectives: Increase in fungal disease
resistance
Better grape and wine quality
The hereditary base of North American
species highly resistant to Plasmopara
viticolu and Oidium tuckeri is expanded by
Seyve Villard hybrid and its varieties
