Experiments were carried out in 2016-2017 at the Institute of Horticulture, Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry. The aim of the research was evaluated the morphological parameters of carrot hybrids 'Jola' root crops, productivity and qualitative parameters. The quantitative and qualitative parameters of the new hybrid were compared to the results of investigation of 'Garduolės' and hybrids 'Svalia BS' and paternal forms. It was established, that the new hybrid variety 'Jola' roots are on average 20.16 cm long and 4.03 cm in diameter, yielding 65.10 tons per ha-1 and accumulates on average 19.42 mg of 100 g-1 carotene, 8.38% total sugar and 11.43% dry soluble solids.

Experiments were carried out in 2006-2007. Red beet cultivar 'Rikiai' (No. 403) was compared with the varieties 'Egipski' and 'Joniai'. There was evaluated germination, disease resistance, the calculated yield to assess crop-root morphological features. 'Rikiai' -- indeterminate, with two seeds (75 %) species. The foliage is dark green, slightly yellowish hue. Root-crop semi-elliptic, elliptic and slightly rounded shape with a thin core root of the cuticle smooth. Belongs to the 'Egypt' type species. Average weight of crop-root -- 280-300 g. Beetroot is resistant to drought. Red beet is suitable for fresh consumption, can be kept during the winter, and preserved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2010-2011 four varieties ('Moravan', 'Szmaragd', 'Common', 'Mammouth') of dill (Anethum graveolens L.) were tested and evaluated at the LRCAF Institute of Horticulture. There were chosen conditions of organically growing. The research showed that 'Moravan' and 'Szmaragd' dill were more suitable to grow, according to the yield and crop quality. In 2010 'Szmaragd' variety harvest of technical maturity was 22.3 t ha-1 and in 2011-25.4 t ha-1 . Harvest of 'Moravan' variety reached 17.7-22.8 t ha-1. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Investigations of productivity of the most popular edible onion (Allium cepa L.) cultivars grown in Lithuania were carried out in the experimental field of the Institute of Horticulture, Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry (IH-LRCAF) in 2008-2010. Three onion cultivars - 'Babtu didieji', 'Red Baron' No. 080 and ten hybrids - 'Spirit' F1, 'Burgos' F1, 'Mission' F1, 'Napaleon' F1, 'Vision' F1, 'Solution' F1, 'Sunskin' F1, 'Musica' F1, 'Stamford' F1 and 'Red Beauty' F1 were estimated. The yield and its structure were evaluated. The height and diameter of onion bulbs were determined. The index of bulb shape was calculated. The obtained results showed that our climatic conditions are favourable for onion growing. All investigated edible onion cultivars and hybrids differed according to their productivity. Hybrid 'Musica' F1 was distinguished for the significantly highest total and marketable yield during the period of three year investigation. The highest output of the marketable yield was determined with 'Vision' F1. The largest bulb size was obtained from 'Stamford' F1. The obtained results confirm that a genotype is an important factor that affects crop productivity. Lietuvos agrarinių ir miškų mokslų centro filialo Sodininkystės ir daržininkystės instituto eksperimentiniame lauke 2008-2010 metais tirtas Lietuvoje populiariausių valgomojo svogūno (Allium cepa L.) veislių ir hibridų produktyvumas. Vertintos trys valgomojo svogūno veislės: 'Babtų didieji', 'Red Baron', Nr. 080, ir dešimt heterozinių hibridų: 'Spirit' F1, 'Burgos' F1, 'Mission' F1, 'Napaleon' F1, 'Vision' F1, 'Solution' F1, 'Sunskin' F1, 'Musica' F1, 'Stamford' F1, 'Red Beauty' F1. Nustatytas derlius ir jo struktūra. Įvertintas ropelių aukštis ir skersmuo. Apskaičiuotas ropelės formos indeksas. Gauti rezultatai parodė, kad mūsų klimato sąlygos yra palankios svogūnams augti. Visų tirtų veislių ir hibridų produktyvumas buvo skirtingas. Trejų metų tyrimo duomenys parodė, kad iš esmės didžiausią bendrą ir prekinį derlių išaugino hibridas 'Musica' F1. Didžiausia buvo 'Vision' F1 svogūnų prekinio ropelių derliaus išeiga. Didžiausio svorio ropeles išaugino 'Stamford' F1. Gauti rezultatai patvirtina prielaidą, kad genotipas yra svarbus augalų produktyvumo veiksnys. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Lithuanian and foreign cultivars of onions were investigated at the Lithuanian Institute of Horticulture of the organically grown experimental field in 2008-2009. Productivity and biochemical composition of edible onion is influenced by genetype and conditions of growing. Investigations showed that onions 'Babtu didieji' were more productive (yield - 15.1 t ha-1) than other investigated cultivars and produced turnips of average size (121. 0 g). In 2008-2009 during onion vegetation and storage there were found diseases, which were caused by pathogenic pathogenic fungi of the genera Peronospora and Botrytis. Botrytis squamosa fungi injured onion leaves and caused leaf blight. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
