Formation of the yield and product quality of broccoli cabbages depending on the characteristics of the hybrid in the conditions of the left bank Forest Steppe of Ukraine

Abstract

The paper presents the results of a study on the yield and quality of products of early-ripening and medium-ripening hybrids of foreign breeding broccoli, which are grown by the seedling method on typical heavy loam chernozem on forest-like loams in the conditions of the Left Bank Forest Steppe of Ukraine. An important indicator of the efficiency of cultivation technology is the yield level. Increasing the yield level and obtaining high-quality commercial products of broccoli is possible only with the introduction of new hybrids into production, which will be adapted to the weather and climate conditions of the growing area. It was established that the yield and quality of broccoli depended on the characteristics of the hybrids Batavia F1 (15.4 t/ha) and Batory F1 (14.6 t/ha), hybrids are characterized by high yield and good quality indicators of broccoli production. The results of the study show that when assessing the economic efficiency of growing broccoli, the level of profitability is in the range of 59-126%. It should be noted that the level of profitability of early-ripening hybrids was somewhat higher compared to mid-ripening hybrids. The highest level of profitability was when growing the Batavia F1 hybrid and was 126%.
