Abstract

The new variety Milkana F1 belongs to longum peppers group. It is created at Maritsa Vegetable Crops Research Institute, Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The variety is suitable for greenhouse, early and mid-early field production. The fruits are sweet, pendant, uniformed, conical and long to very long with pointed apex. Before maturity they are light green and turn to red color at maturity stage. Most of them are with shiny surface, thin and tender skin that is not perceived in fresh consumption. During the two-year study a complex evaluation is done and the new hybrid priorities are established - high earliness, productivity and optimal combining of the important morphological traits of the plant and fruit of new hybrid. The produce (green fruits) is distinguished by a very good sensory characteristics and it is intended for fresh consumption and processing. The hybrid variety possesses high resistance level to Verticillium dahliae Kleb.
