Evaluation of consumer properties of collection samples of tomato under conditions of the Republic of Crimea
The aim of our research was to study the consumer properties of six varieties of tomatoes bred in the Russian federation. The following tasks were solved to achieve the desired goal: research of the commodity characteristics of tomatoes, studying the safety of tomato varieties, and carrying out an organoleptic assessment of the samples under study. We studied six hybrids, namely ‘Mobil’, ‘Bulat’, ‘Dubok’, ‘Rosalina’, ‘Volgogradets’, and ‘Lakomka’ that were cultivated in the Republic of Crimea. Breeding work was carried out on the experimental fields of the FSBSI “Research Institute of Agriculture of Crimea” in the Department of Breeding and Seed Growing of Vegetable and Melon Crops. Based on our studies, tomato varieties ‘Rosalina’, ‘Lakomka’ and ‘Bulat’, which are high in quality and excellent in taste, are recommended for cultivation in the Republic of Crimea.
