Assessment of yield and yield stability of new perspective pepper breeding lines with conical shape

摘要

The main goal of the present study was to estimate new perspective Bulgarian conic lines pepper about yield and stability of the yield with purpose to be presented for Government variety testing and to been included in new breeding programs. Three years experiments were carried out in Experimental fields of Agricultural University, Plovdiv, Bulgaria with eight new perspective consolidated hybrids of sweet pepper. Typical Bulgarian variety Kurtovska kapia 1619 was used as a standard. The plants were grown according to the conventional technology for middle early field production for South Bulgarian condition. Four harvests were done - one of green fruits and three of red ripening fruits. The total yield, weight and length of fruit were determined. The stability of yield (Ysi) by the methods Kang was calculated. The lines with the highest yield were Doux Marconi Rouge х Kapia 1300 F8 and Doux Marconi San Semences х Kalinkov 800/7 F7 with productivity of 5034.1 kg/da and 4881.3 kg/da respectively. The index of yield stability was highest 7+ about following breeding lines Doux Marconi San Semences х Kalinkov 800/7 F7 and Kapia 1300 х Doux d’Espagne F9. The lines Doux Marconi Rouge х Kapia 1300 F8, Doux Marconi San Semences х Kalinkov 800/7 F7 and Doux Marconi Rouge х Kapia 1300 F7 are suitable to be included in new selection programs for more successfully breeding.
