Abstract

Growing area, various ways of production (traditional or contemporary) and consumption (fresh or proceeded), make pepper one of the most important vegetable crops. There are many pepper varieties in Serbia, but just a few genotypes have been selected.

The aim of our work was to select a new pepper variety for pickling. The new variety Dora was created at the Institute for Vegetable Crops, Smederevska Palanka, having in mind the characteristics of both the crop and its species.

This variety was certified by the Ministry of Agriculture, Department of Acknowledgement of Agricultural Crops, in 2009 under the name of “Dora“.
