RESULTS OF TESTING TOMATO VARIETIES AND HYBRIDS UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF SALTED SOILS OF THE ARAL REGION

Abstract

The article describes the results of tomato cultivar testing in open ground in saline soils of the Republic of Karakalpakstan. It is noted that tomato varieties and hybrids behave differently in different conditions, therefore, for each zone they should be selected experimentally. The biometric counts carried out showed that the plants of all accessions had a longer stem and fewer side shoots. However, varietal differences in these traits remained. It has been established that the earlier ripening begins, the higher the value of the early harvest the longer the main stem, the more side shoots on it and the less the early harvest.
