Abstract

One of the main direction of intensification of the vegetable growing industry, taking into account the constant increase in the assortment of tomatoes available in Ukraine, is the study, evaluation and selection of biological potential of indeterminate tomato hybrids for growing in film greenhouses. The purpose of the research was to evaluate and select the yield of tomato hybrids for growing in film greenhouses. The article presents the results of a study of the influence of the assortment of the studied indeterminate type tomato hybrids on productivity. The study was conducted for five years on the territory of the Kharkiv district of the Kharkiv region. The influence of the hybrid genotype on the dynamics of the formation of biometric indicators has been established. It was determined that according to the complex of biometric indicators, tomato hybrids F1 Signora, Belfort and Matias stood out, which, when grown in a spring film greenhouse, developed better. The influence of the hybrid genotype on the level of productivity of modern tomato hybrids of the type when grown in plastic film greenhouses has been studied. The highest yield was recorded in the Signor F1 hybrid - 16.9 kg/m2, which is 1.4 kg/m2 more than the control. The hybrid Matias F1 also showed itself well, the yield of which was 16.4 kg/m2, and was 0.9 kg/m2 more than the control. The best for growing in film greenhouses in the spring-summer crop change were the F1 hybrids Matias and Signora, which are characterized by the best growth and development of plants and show the highest yield of the researched ones
