“IONEL” variety was created at Vegetable Research and Development Station, Bacau patented 2009. This paper aims to present a study on the variability of the main character and significance of selection work. Maintaining annually quantitative and qualitative traits of variety, within their variability in purpose to ensure the identity, uniformity and stability is achieved by the conservative selection works. Our undertaken studies show that studied variability of different traits. is: - low for shape index s% ≤ 10; - medium for length, diameter and weight of the fruit: s% between 10-20%; - high (s% ≥ 20) for trait: production of fruit / plant. (G). Data presented in this paper reveal that the variety of long pepper – “IONEL” is properly maintained in conservative selection process. and the limits of variability are normal.
