These seeds are suitable for both open-field and protected cultivation, supporting exporters and large-scale growers.

Key Features

Botanical Name: Capsicum annuum (commonly for sweet bell-type peppers).
Fruit Shape & Quality: Varieties emphasise uniformity (usually blocky with 4 lobes), thick walls, glossy skin and good colour transition from green to red/yellow as needed.
Adaptability: Seeds bred for adaptability across seasons and growing systems—greenhouse or open field—with good setting even under variable conditions.
Disease Resistance: Strong resistance packages to key diseases such as bacterial spot, mosaic viruses, etc., adding reliability in commercial production.
Commercial Maturity: Many varieties reach market-ready status in approximately 60-75 days after transplanting (dependent on variety and conditions).

Varieties & Performance Highlights

A commercial blocky sweet type with fruit weight ~200–230 g, uniform fruit set, strong plant vigor and high yield.

Agronomic Recommendations

Soil & Environment: Optimum soil pH around 6.0–6.8, well-drained fertile soils, full sun exposure for best fruit set.
Planting: Transplant seedlings when conditions are stable (appropriate temperature & light); maintain spacing according to vine habit and production system.
Growth Habit: Choose plant type (bush vs semi-vining) based on available support and cultivation method; varieties with compact habit suit greenhouse better.
Crop Management: Monitor for pests and diseases; choose seeds with the right resistance traits for your region and production system; manage fertilisation and irrigation to favour fruit quality.
Harvest & Handling: Harvest when fruits reach full colour and desired firmness; for export markets ensure fruits have thick walls, uniform size and good firmness to withstand post-harvest handling and transport.
