Broccoli cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. convar. Botrytis (L.) Alef. Var. Cymosa Duch) was already known in culture more than 2 thousand years ago. Broccoli is still less common in Russia. The research and evaluation of experimental results demonstrates broccoli is a very promising crop, both for scientific research and for commodity production. Simply, its potential is still not fully disclosed, both by agricultural producers and the scientific community in the Russian Federation. This is evidenced by the ever-growing number of foreign hybrids of F1 broccoli in the State Register of Breeding Achievements Approved for Use in 2018. At the same time, the research results reflected in the article can be equally useful for representatives of the agro-industrial complex and agricultural science.
