Agro-biological potential of indeterminate tomato hybrids of foreign breeding in winter greenhouses

Abstract

The article examines the agro-biological potential of indeterminate tomato hybrids of foreign breeding cultivated in winter greenhouses. The research was conducted using the following indeterminate tomato hybrids: Komit F1 (control), Merlis F1, Complis F1, and experimental hybrid 1035 F1. The study assesses yield, biological characteristics, phenological observations, biometric indicators, the dynamics of yield and quality formation of hybrids, as well as their adaptation to winter greenhouse conditions with year-round fruiting over nine months. Experimental research was carried out over three years (2021-2023) at the modern enterprise LLC "Dniprovske," located in Dniprovskyi district, Dnipropetrovsk region. The aim of the research was to evaluate and select tomato hybrids for winter greenhouses based on their yield. The obtained results provide valuable information for agricultural enterprises and farmers in choosing the most productive and adapted tomato hybrids for cultivation in winter greenhouses, contributing to increased yield and economic efficiency.
