The Institute of Fruit Growing, Viticulture and Enology has two departments: the Department of Fruit Growing and the Department of Viticulture and Enology. Its teaching, research and applied work focus on fruit species and the grapevine, cultivars and rootstocks, growing systems, agrotechnical, pomotechnical and ampelotechnical measures, post-harvest technologies for fruit and grapes, and the technology of processing and producing wine and spirits. The applied work includes the control of fruit and vine planting material, establishing and managing nurseries, orchards and vineyards, and the control and testing of the quality of fruit, grapes, wine and spirits. The Institute takes part in international and national projects.

Gene Bank of Fruit Plants

The Gene Bank of Fruit Plants was established by Decision No. 109-185/2 of 3 August 2021 of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Economy of the Republic of Macedonia. With this Decision, the fruit-growing laboratory of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Food, part of Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, is authorised to keep and maintain reference samples of fruit plants – the Gene Bank.

Under the laboratory's public authorisation, led by Prof. Dr Marjan Kiprijanovski, an orchard has been planted and is grown on the Experimental Field in Dolno Lisiče, keeping and maintaining 152 reference samples of varieties and rootstocks of the fruit species: apple, pear, plum, hazelnut, sweet cherry, sour cherry, peach, apricot, almond, quince, aronia, rose hip, medlar, oleaster and pistachio.

The Gene Bank also grows some 150 further genotypes of various fruit species, most of them autochthonous – native or naturalised varieties, above all apples and pears.

Besides its main purpose – keeping reference samples – the orchard of the Gene Bank is also where students are trained in the practical application of pomotechnical and agrotechnical measures in orchards, in monitoring phenological stages and in studying the characteristics of the fruit plant assortment.
