Study of middle-early cultivars and hybrids of sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) under irrigation within the conditions of Astrakhan region

The objects of research were cultivars and hybrids sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). purpose the study was to select most productive varieties F1 middle-early with high quality fruits for industrial production in irrigated conditions Astrakhan region. During study, it found that varied duration interphase periods. period between germination biological ripeness took from 127 143 days, – 126 133 days. shorter 0.42 m (Yaroslav) 0.68 (Belozerka), 0.57 (F1 Pamir) 0.74 Vitamin (st.). largest fruit weight 118 g at Novichok VNIIOB variety 1.9 times more than standard Podarok Moldovy. Within hybrids, 132 noted Bella Vista, smallest one 103 Pamir. yielding capacity Sadovoye Koltso significantly higher by 2.6-2.8 t/ha compared cultivar producing yield. yield excess Vista 1.6% Pamir 6.2% comparison standard. It revealed a marketability which equaled 92-94% cultivars, 95-96% hybrids.
