Research on some parameters of seed production of cucumber variety 'Calibri'

Abstract

Calibri cucumber variety with semi-long fruit intended for fresh consumption and for canning has been approved in 2015. During the period 2013 - 2014, determinations were performed on coefficients of variation for the main characters of the variety Calibri. Thus, the character of the fruit shape index registered a low variability in both technological maturity (5.4% - 7.0%) and physiological maturity (6.2% -9.0%), which represents a great uniformity of variety on the shape of the fruit. Concerning the characteristics of quality, variety Calibri achieved an overall good organoleptic assessment (82.1%) compared to Rodnicioc F1 (69.2%), showing a pleasant commercial aspect, fine texture and good flavor - without bitterness. From the synthesis of data on the behavior of Calibri variety results that the main characters studied fall within the limits of variation of the analyzed variety, which shows a good conservative routing selection
