Sažetak
Poluranka is a local Herzegovinian potato variety, which used to dominate in the production in hilly-mountain area of Herzegovina. Introduction of modern high productive varieties supplanted this variety from the production. Its growing today is at a neglected level and it is endangered to completely disappeare from its habitat. Agronomic properties of this variety in comparison to modern most grown varieties were investigated. The characterization of morphological properties according to IPGRI descriptor was also done. Three year investigation demonstrated that the Poluranka variety was inferior by yield to foreign varieties. The content of starch and dry matter as the most important quality parameters were significantly higher in Poluranka than in other varieties. As these properties are under genetic control Poluranka is good material for breeding new cultivars of improved quality. Collecting and maintenance of seed of this traditional variety will contribute to the preserving of genetic diversity as well.
