Broomcorn breeding program at Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad (Serbia) has been in continuation since 1952. According to the demand of broomcorn and broom producers, in several cycles during this period, five generations of breeders have exploited wealthy genetic collection and created 11 broomcorn cultivars. In the beginning, the primary target was creation of European dwarf type cultivars. This phase has resulted in three cultivars Backi Biser, Neoplanta, and Panonija. Next phase, which was crowned with cultivars Sava, Tisa, Jumak and Jantar, was focused on higher yield and better quality of broomcorn brushes. Contemporary cultivars Reform and Neoplanta Plus which preserve good agro-technological traits of former cultivars, are selected to early maturity and fiber fineness. Selection of new cultivars Tan Sava and No.5 was concentrated on elimination of red coloration of panicles and even earlier maturity. Newly selected inbred lines tolerant to plant diseases and with positive panicle exertion are presently tested as parental lines in experimental hybrids.
