The experiment evaluated the yield and fruit quality (soluble solids content, total sugars, invert sugars,total acids, pH value) of six black currant cultivars (‘Ben Lomond’, ‘Ben Sarek’, ‘Titania’, ‘^a~anska Crna’, ‘Tisel’ and ‘Tiben’) in different cultivation systems (bare fallow, sawdust mulch and black foil mulch). During thefive-year research period, the average yield per bush and that per unit area were highest in ‘Tiben’, and lowestin ‘Ben Sarek’. The highest content of soluble solids was determined in ‘Tisel’, while ‘^a~anska Crna’ had thehighest content of total and invert sugars. In contrast, the highest values for total acids and pH value were obtained in ‘Tisel’. In terms of cultivation systems, sawdust mulch treatments led to significantly higher values ofyield per bush and per unit area compared to bare fallow and foil mulch. Black foil mulch had a significant positive effect on the synthesis of soluble solids and sugars, while sawdust mulch had the effect on the accumulation of acids and pH value. The results suggested that black currants grow well under varied cultivation systems,and indicated that cultivation systems had a significant effect on yield and fruit quality.
