Acteon

Acteon — a medium-ripening sweet pepper variety, distinguished by its large fruit size and versatility for cultivation in both greenhouses and open ground. The plant is determinate, robust, with a strong root system that ensures good resistance and development. The leaves effectively shield the fruits from direct sunlight, helping preserve their quality. The fruits have a conical-prismatic shape, with wall thickness of 6-8 mm and weight ranging from 200 to 300 grams. In technical maturity, they are light green, while in biological maturity they turn bright red, making them attractive to consumers. Ripening periods vary: technical maturity occurs after 60-75 days, and biological maturity after 75-100 days from transplanting.

The variety exhibits high tolerance to diseases such as fusarium and verticillium, significantly simplifying care and increasing yield. Acteon has good adaptability and high germination rate, making it a reliable choice for various climatic conditions. The fruits are characterized by excellent marketability and long storage life, which is important for marketing and processing. It is recommended to follow crop rotation, planting pepper after grasses, onions, cucumbers, or cabbage, and avoid replanting on the same spot more frequently than every 3-4 years.

For successful cultivation of this variety, attention should be paid to weed control and timely application of mineral fertilizers, as pepper is sensitive to nutrient deficiencies. Seedlings can be grown with or without transplanting, with the most economical and common method being the cassette technique. Transplanting into the soil occurs 50-60 days after sowing. Following these agronomic recommendations will allow you to obtain a high-quality harvest of large-fruited sweet pepper Acteon, suitable for both fresh consumption and processing.
