| Abstract | In order to have a consistently high yield of table carrots in the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine, it is worth monitoring the renewal of the crop assortment and choosing highly productive and adapted to soil and climatic conditions of cultivation varieties and hybrids. Therefore, a comparative assessment of phenological data, basic biometric indicators and productivity and yield of new introduced hybrids of Daucus carota L. was carried out. The article presents the results of phenological observations of plant development, their biometric indicators. The productivity and yield level of the studied hybrids were determined. Their suitability for cultivation in the conditions of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine was established. The research work was carried out during 2023–2024. at the experimental field of the Department of Vegetable Growing of Uman National University. Observations were made of introduced hybrids of table carrots of Dutch selection – Alliance F1, Imer F1, Caribou F1, Karruba F1, Morgana F1, Narvik F1, Florence F1, Hestan F1. The control for the studied hybrids was Angelica F1 of Ukrainian selection. The total yield of table carrots in the experiment was 56.3–67.4 t/ha, in the structure of which marketable products had 51.8–64.0 t/ha. Root crops of the non-market fraction were 3.4–4.9 t/ha. Within the marketable products, standard root crops occupied 49.5–60.5 t/ha, and non-standard 2.2–3.5 t/ha. A comparative analysis of the yield indicators of marketable root crops of the studied table carrot hybrids shows that only Narvik F1 had lower indicators than the control. The remaining variants of the experiment prevailed over the control by 5–23%, which corresponds to 2.4–11.8 t/ha of marketable root crops. The weight of the root crops of the studied table carrot hybrids was 127–244 g. They were smaller in Narvik F1, and more massive in Caribou F1. The diameter of the root crops in the experiment was 4.3–5.7 cm. Smaller indicators were noted in the control, and thicker were the root crops in Caribou F1. The length of the table carrot root crop in the experiment was 18.3–20.4 cm. They were shorter in the control, and a larger indicator was recorded in Caribou F1, Karruba F1, Morgana F1 and Hestan F1. Thus, the studied introduced hybrids of table carrots in the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine using traditional cultivation technology are able to provide a sufficient level of production with a marketability of root crops of 91–95%. In terms of yield and biometric parameters of the root crop, it is worth noting Caribou F1 and Karruba F1. Plants of these hybrids were better developed in the bunch maturity phase and had better productivity and yield in the technical maturity phase | ||
