THE PRODUCTION AND TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SOME LINES OF PEPPER VARIETY KURTOVSKA KAPIJA IN THE REGION OF STRUMICA

With the long-term production of pepper variety kurtovska kapija, some biological degeneration has appeared.
In the Agricultural Institute of Strumica work has continued on the individual breeding of 798 lines of pepper from several regions of the Rep. of Macedonia.
Lines S₁, S₂, S₃ from Strumica and lines R₁, R₂,R₃ ….. R₉ from the Radovis region were taken.
Their vegetative period lasted over 141 days.

The largest values concerning fruit length, compared with the standard, were found with the lines R₁ and R₂ (13,8 cm). The largest values in fruit width and weight, compared with the standard, were found with line R₉ (5,5 cm/74,2 g). The yield obtained from line R₉ was the largest (39.149 kg/ha). Knowing the importance of pepper kurtovska kapija in vegetable production, and knowing the needs of the food processing industry in the Rep. of Macedonia, we can say that the lines of these peppers will soon find a place in our vegetable production.
