Results of the primary study on 8 promising gooseberry varieties are presented. The study was carried out in 2001-2005 and concerns major economic characteristics: thornness, winter hardiness, phenology, mildew resistance, crop yield, large fruitness, biochemical composition. Significant distinctions between varieties on the basis of the main economic-biological indications are revealed. For the further selection varieites with the following indications are marked: weak thornness - Afrikanets and Severnyj kapitan, early term of maturing – Neslukhovskij, late term of maturing – Karpaty, Olavi, Slava lepai, resistance to spherotec - Severnyj kapitan, Karpaty, Afrikanets, potencial productivity – Neslukhovskij, Severnyj kapitan, Hinnonmaen keltainen, Olavi, large fruitness – Neslukhovskij, Malakhit, Karpaty, high sugars content - Neslukhovskij, Karpaty, high content of pectines and phenol compounds - Severnyj kapitan, Afrikanets. According to average-long-term data varieties Masheka, Kurshu dzintars, and Afrikanets were characterized as varieties with high dry matter content. The varieties with maximum appearance of the above traits were selected for further breeding. As the result of the research a new introduced gooseberry variety Severnyj kapitan was passed to the system of State variety trials of Belarus. The variety is winter hardy, with few thorns on sprouts, resistant to spherotec, high yield efficiency, medium berry size, high contents of pectines (0,85%) and phenol compounds (306,77 mg/100 g)
