The article studied the variation of quantitative biotechnological characteristics of fruits of sweet pepper varieties. The objects of the study were 6 varieties of sweet pepper: Professor Avdeev, Lyudmila, Novichok VNIIOB, Sprinter, Golden Malyutka, Malyutka. The biotechnological variability of sweet pepper fruits was studied on a representative sample of 25 plants. Biometric analysis was carried out for 4 morphological features: fruit weight, fruit wall thickness, seed yield, seed chamber weight. As a result of these studies, it can be noted that all varieties are characterized by a different range of biotechnological traits. In the course of the study, it was found that the degree of variability with minimal variation is more often observed, which indicates a significant stability of biotechnological characteristics in the studied varieties.

Key words: sweet pepper, variation of quantitative biotechnological features
