Morphological and agronomic characteristics of domestic varieties of chilli pepper

Obzirom na tradiciju uzgoja, dobru prilagodbu okolišnim uvjetima te zadovoljavajuću kvalitetu i prinos, na Sortnoj listi Republike Hrvatske kao čuvane sorte uvrštene su tri domaće sorte feferona, 'Feferon žuti ljuti', 'Feferon crveni ljuti' i 'Feferon zeleni blagi'. Analiza morfoloških i gospodarskih svojstva prema standardnim deskriptorima za rod Capsicum pokazatelj je sličnosti i različitosti između sorti koji može doprinijeti njihovoj popularizaciji. Domaće sorte feferona uspoređene su s hibridnom sortom 'Yanka' u istraživanju provedenom na pokušalištu Visokog gospodarskog učilišta u Križevcima tijekom proljetno-ljetnog razdoblja 2016. godine. Sorte se razlikuju u većini promatranih morfoloških svojstava i svim gospodarskim svojstvima. Sorta 'Yanka' ima 31 do 46 % veći prinos u odnosu na domaće sorte među kojima je najveći prinos ostvarila sorta 'Feferon zeleni blagi', a najmanji sorta 'Feferon žuti ljuti'. Sorta 'Yanka' ima najmanji udio suhe tvari perikarpa (13,5 %) i najmanji odnos mase svježeg i suhog ploda (1,1:1), dok su najveće vrijednosti ovih svojstava zabilježene kod sorte 'Feferon crveni ljuti' (26,2 %), odnosno, sorte 'Feferon zeleni blagi' (2,7:1).Considering to tradition of cultivation, good adaptation to environmental conditions and satisfactory quality and yield, three domestic varieties of chilli pepper, 'Feferon žuti ljuti', 'Feferon crveni ljuti' i 'Feferon zeleni blagi' were listed on the List of Varieties of the Republic of Croatia as conservation varieties. The analysis of morphological and agronomic characteristics according to standard descriptors for the genus Capsicum is an indicator of the similarities and differences between varieties that can contribute to their popularization. Domestic varieties of chilli pepper were compared with the hybrid variety 'Yanka' in a research conducted at trial field of the Križevci College of Agriculture during the spring-summer period of 2016. The varieties differ in most observed morphological properties and all agronomic properties. The hybrid variety 'Yanka' has a 31 to 46% higher yield than domestic varieties, among which the highest yield has the variety 'Feferon zeleni blagi', and the smallest variety 'Feferon žuti ljuti'. The variety 'Yanka' has the lowest proportion of pericarp dry matter (13.5 %) and the lowest ratio of fresh and dried fruit mass (1.1:1), while the highest values of these parameters had variety 'Feferon crveni ljuti' (26.18%) and variety 'Feferon zeleni blagi' (2.7:1), respectively
