The best new eggplant varieties and hybrids for greenhouses and open ground

And this vegetable was spread by the Arabs, who brought it to the African continent in the ninth century. Eggplants came to Europe only six centuries later, and in Russia they really tasted eggplants only in the 19th century. Now, thanks to the work of breeders, there are 210 varieties and hybrids of this crop in the State Register of Breeding Achievements, and the very first variety Universal 6 was obtained in the distant, now, 1966. Today we will talk about new products introduced in the current century.
