The article is devoted to the study of differences in yield and economically valuable traits of sweet pepper varieties and F1 hybrids cultivated under open-field and protected (greenhouse) conditions. The research results provide valuable scientific and practical recommendations for breeders, agronomists, and agricultural producers. It was concluded that cultivation of sweet pepper varieties and F1 hybrids under protected conditions enables effective management of key factors essential for plant growth and development, resulting in higher yields within a shorter period compared to open-field cultivation. Among the varieties and F1 hybrids studied, the Yakut F1 hybrid was identified as the most suitable for cultivation under protected conditions.
