The principal peach production regions in Yugoslavia lie in the Mediterranean zone and in the vineyard areas of the continental part of the state. Peach production in Yugoslavia is 91.860 MT. The leading peach cultivar is 'Redhaven' and the main nectarine is 'Stark RedGold.' Vineyard peach seedlings are the main peach rootstock.
The peach breeding centres in Yugoslavia are: Fruit Research Institute, Čačak; Biotechnical Faculty, Ljubljana; Agricultural Faculty, Zemun, Beograd; Fruit and Grape Research Station, Boleč, Beograd and Agricultural Faculty, Novi Sad.
The peach and nectarine breeding programs in Yugoslavia concentrate on: germplasm improvement, breeding early ripening cultivars, breeding late ripening fresh freestone cultivars and breeding canning clingstone peach cultivars adapted to continental climate. As well the programs include: inbreeding genetic dwarf, Pillar, sharka (Plum Pox Virus) and non-traditional breeding approaches.
Federal Committee of Agriculture in Beograd has released seven peach cultivars: 'Julia' (–20 'Redhaven'), 'Slovenia' (–12), 'Čačak' (–6), 'Dora' (+3), 'Maya' (+6), 'Vesna' (+8) and 'Radmilovčanka' (+50) in Yugoslavia.
