Abstract

Sweet pepper varieties and hybrids have been identified with the perspective of production in the light chestnut soils in the Low Volga Area using a drip irrigation system. Seven varieties and eleven hybrids have been analyzed in the field experiment subjected to the levels of mineral nutrition and water use. The efficiency of a mineral fertilizer dose of N180 in three split applications has been determined. Listed below are the hybrids and varieties best adapted to the typical conditions of the region: the Golden Zvezda Vostoka, Krasnaya Zvezda Vostoka, Zhyoltaya Zvezda Vostoka, Romeo, Moi General, and Pafos F1 hybrids; the Lolita, Vityaz’, Galateya, Zor’ka, and Everest varieties, which produced yields of 127.4, 125.3, 102.2, 133.4, 107.2, 103.1, 11.8, 107.7, 90.6, 89.1, and 88.2 tons per hectare, respectively.
