During the experiments and analyzes performednoted Atris F1 hybrid with a dry mattercontent of 5.45% at its physiological maturityin experimental conditions Silistraru, Braila.The dry matter content increases from technicalmaturity to physiological.Table 4.

Values increasedfrom technical maturity to physiologicalmaturity and are higher in cultivarsfrom Silistraru Braila due to culture conditionsand superior technology.CONCLUSIONSBased on the experimental results held thefollowing conclusions can be drawn:Among the cultivars used in experience standsin terms of average fruits weight with 168.4 gthe hybrid California Wonder, which exceedsthe average weight of fruits witness Bianca F1(149.4 g).The pericarp thickness increases from technicalmaturity to physiological all cases, and towardsthe witness Bianca F1 (5.15 mm, physiologicalmaturity) in experimental conditions Silistraru,Braila County, the hybrid California WonderF1 is distinguished with 7.30 mm (to physiologicalmaturity).Vitamin C content increases from technicalmaturity to physiological maturity and thehighest values we meet at Atris F1 hybrid inexperimental conditions in Silistraru, Braila.In the experiments is remarkable growth indicators:solids content, vitamin C content andthickness of the pericarp cultivars whencompared with cultivars Silistraru Braila inBerceni, Ilfov due to culture conditions andtechnology used.Pericarp thickness and chemical compositionensures a balanced of fruit succulence andparticularly flavor, it recommends the consumptionof fresh and preserved condition.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSThe researches were carried out withindoctoral thesis in POSDRU/107/1.5/S/76888.REFERENCESAtanasiu N., 2005.
