New promising tomato varieties of astrakhan breeders

Introduction. With the increase in the application of economic sanctions, the urgent task is to create new domestic varieties that contribute to ensuring the stability of agricultural production. The most common and popular vegetable crop is tomato, the fruits of which contain vitamins, enzymes and biologically active substances that contribute to the preservation of human health and life expectancy.

The purpose of this research work is to assess the potential of promising tomato breeding material and create new competitive varieties based on it. The task is to replace foreign varieties and hybrids with domestic ones on the market of agricultural producers.

The novelty consists in qualitatively new features of the created varieties, their wide direction of use.

Materials and methods. The objects of study were selection samples of tomato salad direction. The research was carried out at the All-Russian Research Institute of Irrigated Vegetable and Melon Growing – the branch of the Federal State Budget Scientific Institution «Caspian Agrarian Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences» in 2020-2022 according to generally accepted methods. Agrotechnical techniques corresponded to those used in the irrigated conditions of the Astrakhan region.

Results and conclusions. Tomato samples of the salad group were compared with the zoned variety Astrakhan. The selected varieties and lines are characterized by high yield, marketability and friendly ripening of large, durable fruits. Horse variety – with beautiful yellow fruits weighing 160-180 g. Since 2023, it has been included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation. A new variety of Red filling with large red fruits weighing 200 -220g, with a strong skin, has been transferred to the State Sortipytanie for 2023. A promising breeding line SL – 70/21 with fruits weighing 70-80 g of a leveled rounded shape with a small spout, characterized by a high sugar content. You can use the fruits of the presented samples as salads, processing into tomato products and canning. The cultivation of new tomato varieties by peasant farms and personal subsidiary farms will contribute to the import substitution of this crop and, as a result, the stability and food independence of the state.
