Abstract

Obtaining new varieties of sweet peppers has been a major and permanent concern at V.R.D.S. Buzau. Autochthonous assortment in this species is relatively small compared to other species which led to the crop extension of foreign varieties that are commercialized at high prices without the expected results. Researches carried out during the period 1996-2017 aimed to contribute at the enrichment and diversification of autochthonous germplasm collection and also allowed introducing new valuable cultivars according to the market requirements nowadays.
