Pepper Agostini

Consistent performance in greenhouse environments

Working with the 'Agostini' hybrid by Rijk Zwaan is all about reliability. Over years of practice, this pepper has established itself as a workhorse that is forgiving of various agronomic errors. The 85–95 day maturation period allows for precise rotation planning, while its resistance to Tobacco Mosaic Virus and Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus eliminates the headache of constant fungicide applications and pest control.

High-marketability yield

The 'Agostini' fruits are a benchmark for commercial quality. The four-lobed blocky shape and 200–250g weight are ideal for packaging and retail chains. With 7–9mm thick walls, the fruits offer excellent transportability: they don't crush during shipping and maintain their density, which is critical for the fresh produce market.

• Color transformation: from a rich green to a vibrant red. Full biological maturity is reached uniformly.
• Performance: with proper nutrition, the hybrid consistently produces heavy fruits that do not shrink in size during the second and third waves of harvest.
• Maintenance: low-maintenance, responds well to standard fertilization schemes, and thrives under intensive farming technologies.

If your goal is to secure high marketable yields with predictable weight and color, 'Agostini' pays off completely. This is a case where the hybrid works for you, minimizing losses during sorting and packaging processes.
