Представлены новые перспективные сорта томата астраханской селекции: Марафон, Каспиец, Новый принц, Малиновый шар, Авдеевский и Бульдог – крупноплодные, сочные с нежной мякотью, превосходными вкусовыми, технологическими и эстетическими качествами, с различной окраской поверхности плода, хорошей транспортабельностью, для салатного назначения и переработки на томатопродукты. Эти сорта по основным хозяйственно ценным признакам не уступают сортам зарубежной селекции и могут использоваться для импортозамещения.The description of the new promising varieties of tomato Astrakhan breeding is given: Marathon, Kaspiets, New Prince, Crimson ball, Avdeevsky and Bulldog – large-fruited, juicy, with soft flesh, excellent taste, technological and aesthetic qualities, with different colouring of the fruit surface, good transportability, for salad dressing and processing for tomato products. According to the main economic – valuable features, these varieties are not inferior to the varieties of foreign breeding and can be used to import substitution of selection-seed product, both in the South and in other regions of the Russian Federation.

The tomato culture is the leader in terms of cultivation area and production volume among food products of plant origin. Fruits contain a variety of minerals, sugars, fats, vitamins.The goal of the study and study of economic characteristics: yield, marketability, average weight of fruits, weight of 1000 pieces. seeds and seed productivity of tomato varieties of two varieties, created by Astrakhan breeders and the use of the results obtained in planning seed production and the development of sale and purchase prices for varietal seeds to provide large farms, summer residents and owners of private farms with domestic seeds for the purpose of import substitution and suitable for various uses.Methods. The experiments were carried out in the fields of Precaspian agrarian federal scientific center of the Russian academy of sciences according to well-known methods. Studied 9 salad and 7 for mechanized harvesting varieties of tomato.Results. The article presents the results of studying the economic qualities and seed productivity of tomato varieties of two types, differing in shape, size, weight, fruit color and directions of use. The first group includes large-fruited salad varieties with non-cracking fruits, which are well stored and transported in brown maturity with an average fruit weight of 100-200 g or more. The second group – with plumshaped and elongated fruits, the average weight of which is 75-100 g, very dense, characterized by suitability for long-term transportation, and in terms of strength they are not inferior to foreign varieties and hybrids. The shape and weight of fruits of varieties of both groups are different, the yield and marketability of varieties is quite high, but the weight of 1000 seeds and seed productivity does not depend on these indicators, but is individual for each variety.
