Abstract

Grad Metković je jedno od najpoznatijih proizvodnih područja za agrume, a posebno je poznata neretvanska mandarina, koja je proglašena brendom. Cilj rada bio je opisati najčešće vrste iz roda Citrus zabilježene na području grada Metkovića tijekom terenskog istraživanja. Najznačajnije vrste opisane su pregledom morfologije vrsta, pedološkim i klimatskim obilježjima istraživanog područja te pregledom povijesti agrumarstva na području doline Neretve. Agrumi su popisivani u mobilnu aplikaciju Maps me obilaskom mikrolokacija na području grada Metkovića, odnosno okućnica i vrtova u kojima se nalaze agrumi. Pomoću programa QGIS napravljene su karte s točkastim vektorima koji pokazuju prostornu distribuciju mandarina, naranči, limuna i kumkvata. Terenskim istraživanjem tijekom vegetacijske sezone 2021. godine utvrđeno je da na okućnicama postoji 848 jedinki iz roda Citrus. Na temelju dobivenih podataka, razgovora s lokalnim stanovništvom, te ortofoto snimaka grada Metkovića iz 1968. i 2019. godine utvrđene su promjene u površini, odnosno smanjenje površina poljoprivrednih zemljišta sa 13,5 na 4,5 km² te promjene u kulturama koje se uzgajaju.

Abstract (english)

City of Metković is one of the most famous regions for the cultivation of citrus fruits, it is especially known for its product: Neretvanska mandarina, which is also declared as a brand. The aim of this paper is to describe the most common Citrus species found during field research in the town Metković. The most important Citrus species were described by studying the morphology of the species, pedological and climate features of researched region and also by reviewing history of Citrus cultivation in the river Neretva Valley. Citrus species were mapped in the mobile application Maps me, while we visited microsites of Metković, especially courtyards and gardens. Maps with point vectors showing the spatial distribution of Citrus species, especially mandarins, oranges, lemons and kumquats were made using software programme QGIS. During the field research in the 2021 growing season, it was found that there were 848 citrus trees in courtyards and gardens. Based on the information obtained, interviews with local people and orthophotographic images of Metković from 1968 and 2019, the changes in the size of agricultural land, or the reduction of agricultural land from 13.5 to 4.5 square kilometers and the changes in cultivated cropswere determined.
