Pepper Alligator

High-Performance Greenhouse Cultivation

The 'Alligator' variety from the 'Sedek' breeding company is a reliable choice for professional greenhouse growers aiming for consistent quality and marketable yield. When selecting planting material, greenhouse managers often balance size with structural integrity; this variety successfully bridges that gap.

Agro-Operational Value

Cultivating 'Alligator' requires strict adherence to greenhouse protocols to reach its genetic potential. With a maturation period of 80–100 days, it allows for efficient harvest scheduling. Practical field observations confirm that the variety performs optimally when trellis-grown with systematic pruning.

• Fruit Mass: Consistently maintains 200–250 grams, meeting consumer preferences for medium-to-large peppers.
• Wall Thickness: A robust wall of 6–8 mm provides essential shelf-life and durability, crucial for supply chain logistics.
• Visual Appeal: The transition from dark green to bright red is uniform, ensuring high visual quality upon reaching retail shelves.

The variety is tailored for intensive farming technologies. It responds positively to potassium-heavy fertilizer programs during the fruit-filling stage. Proper pest management—specifically against greenhouse spider mites and whiteflies—is necessary to protect the yield. Thanks to the expertise of the originators, including S.V. Dubinin and A.N. Lukyanenko, 'Alligator' retains its varietal characteristics under professional management, allowing commercial operations to achieve predictable harvest cycles in the sweet pepper sector.
