Abstract
It is established that the sum total of carotenoids and their components in the full biological ripeness stage of sweet pepper fruits depends both on the variety and on growing conditions. With small-volume hydroponics as compared to a plastic film greenhouse, 34.7–96.5% more carotenoids are accumulated depending on the variety.
