Yasen F1 – New Bulgarian Pepper Variety

Year 2014, Volume: 1 Issue: Özel Sayı-1, 636 - 640, 01.03.2014

Abstract

A new pepper variety Yasen is bred at the “Maritsa” Vegetable Crops Research Institute, Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The F1 hybrid is developed as a result of combining of genic male sterility and heterosis effect. It is suitable for greenhouses, early and mid-early field production. The fruits are drooping, predominantly with one apex, light green before maturity and red at botanical maturity. The fruit exocarp is very thin, tender in fresh consumption. The fruit shape is moderately triangular in longitudinal section. The produce is suitable for fresh consumption and processing. During the period 2004-2007 the new variety was compared with standard one Zlaten medal 7 and parental component by some economic and morphological characters. Yasen F1significantly exceeded parent line by earliness, total and marketable yield and standard variety by total and marketable yield. The vegetative period of new variety was 106 days from germination to first harvest. This variety formed mid-high (55.66 cm) plants with strong stem (15.39 cm) and 3 branches from first order. The fruit length was on average 11.58 cm, the diameter at the base – 4.72 cm, pericarp thickness – 3.90 mm and fruit weight - 76.01 g
