The purpose of this paper is to present a study of the variability of the main characters in the round pepper species and at the same time to emphasize the significance of this variability for conservative selection work. The annual maintenance of the varietal qualitative and quantitative characteristics in order to ensure identity, uniformity and stability is achieved through conservative selection work. Our study on the “Creolica” round paper variety showed different variability within the investigated characters as follows:
• low, for the height of the plant. with% ≤ 10;
• average for the length, diameter and weight of the fruit, s% between 10-20%;
• high (s% ≥ 20) for the index: fruit / plant weight.
The data presented showed that the "Creolica" round pepper variety is stable, distinct and is within normal limits of variability.
