pepper, breeding, new varieties, yielding ability.
Pepper is one of the annual vegetable species occupying large areas both in open field and in protected areas. In our country there are cultivated several types: bell pepper, round pepper, long pepper for fresh consumption, paprika peppers and hot peppers. During 1980-2016, the Research and Development Institute for Vegetable and Flower and Vegetable Research Stations from Arad, Bacau, Buzau and Işalniţa were obtained a large number of varieties of peppers of all types mentioned. At present, as a result of lower research funding, work to improve the pepper longer takes place only at the Institute Vidra and research vegetable stations Bacau and Buzau. Among the latest creations of the institute include varieties of sweet bell pepper: mid early Asteroid 204 (fruit of 120-210 g and yielding ability of 43-51 t ha) and Cornel 209 (fruit of 150-250 g. and yielding ability of 50-53 t/ha) and varieties of bell pepper: Bârsan (mid-early with conical fruit) and Vidra 9 (mid-late, fruit cordiforme, slightly elongated). All four varieties are more requested by the producers of vegetables for their high production potential, high quality fruit and good behavior to unfavorable biotic and abiotic factors.
