Advantages of heterotic hybrids of the winter rape in the competitive and in the production testing proven. While certain advantages in the productivity of cultivar of the Czech selection of Odila above the domestic cultivar of Dangal got in the competitive testing in the production testing confirmed. It is established that the greatest productivity in the production testing was had hybrids Vsesvit F1t Zapalnyj Fb G-3 Fi and G-4 Fi, which are characterized the stable and yearly high productivity and combine the productivity with adaptability to the environmental conditions of area of Forest- steppe of Ukraine.

The article deals with agronomic characters of sugar beet MS hybrids developed on the basis of parental components with resistance to Fusarium rots during vegetation period, which were found in studies with the ecological variety test of Be- taintercross. Possibility of combining high productivity and disease resistance in one genotype was confirmed as matter of principle.

Щиро вітаючи В. В. Моргуна з ювілеєм, успішним творчим життям, високою державною відзнакою, Державна служба з охорони прав на сорти рослин, Український інститут експертизи сортів рослин і редколегія журналу „Сортовивчення та охорона прав на сорти рослин” зичить йому високої наснаги, плідного творчого довголіття і приєднується до побажань авторів „Вік зрілості і мудрості” В. М. Маласая і В. М. Гаврилюка.

The value of a variety as of important element in the technology of growing is considered. Productivity formation of seeds of vegetable varieties depending on the agrotechnological methods of growing is grounded. Influence of matrix quality diversity of seeds and its sowing qualities are established. Agromeasures are developed to eliminate matrix quality diversity of seeds for vegetable crops to improve its sowing qualities.

New donors of short-stem dominant characteristic Gnom 1 (G1), Gnom 2 (G2), Gnom 3 (G3) have been created to the purpose of further increasing the yield of Winter Rye and effective redistribution of assimilation products to the benefits of the grain. Genetic and Statistical analysis of 10 selective characteristics of these donors has been conducted and options to improve them were determined. Application of G1 in the prospective breeding programs G1 on 10 characteristics would not create considerable difficulties. Engagement in the crossing of G2 and G3 donors may create complications in the expression of- productivity characteristics of the ear and plants in the progenies. Crossing used in transgress and combinative breeding is preferable for applying. Application of G3 may be accompanied with technical inconvenience in perfor-ming directed crossing. Application of G3 attracts by the creating conditions for uniting desirable height of plant with the constitutionnal components of Winter Rye productivity.

It is presented the description of garden pea new varieties which are included into the State Register of plant varieties, which are suitable for the dissemination in Ukraine in 2008 year, morphological features of the crop and its value, either food or dietetic plant.

According to the seed quality indices the soft winter wheat seeds quality which were included in to the State Register of ріалі varieties of Ukraine in 2008 was defined (consistence of the albumen, flour s-rength. bread size). In the steppe area the consistence of albumen in seed was not changed. In the forest-steppe area seed quality markers improved and drew near the seed quality markers of the steppe area. More then 80% of wheat varieties, produced by Ukrainian breeders are considered to be strong and valuable by the seed quality verse 19,4 % of foreign varieties. That means that the varieties of the Ukrainian breeding are competitive.

Possibility of heterosis effect approbation by using synthetic varieties of winter rye was discussed. Heterosis level of first five generation of rye synthetics did not decrease. Considerable yield decrease of winter rye grain took place in later generations. Concept of synthetic varieties of winter wheat creation in Ukraine is prospective, though it requires scientific, economical and legal improvement.

The untypical weather conditions during the extrema drought in 1993- 1994 have been described. Regularities of the accumulation and spending of the dry substance in leaves of varieties, signi ficantly different in productivity, weke considered depending on weather conditions.

The study of vernalization requierement of winter bread wheat 87 modem varieties from Ukraine and Russia showed significant domination - 81.6% - of varieties with short vernalization requierement (30-40 days). Vernalization requierement differences among varieties from different climatic zones were revealed.
