Sweet pepper 'Atlet' is a high-yielding hybrid with an early maturation period — fruits are ready for harvest as early as 65-68 days after transplanting seedlings. The plant is medium-height with strong stems and moderate leafiness, well-adapted to various growing conditions, including open and protected soil. 'Atlet' shows tolerance to major diseases such as verticillium wilt and tobacco mosaic virus, making it a reliable choice for gardeners and farmers. The plant forms a large number of lateral branches and fruiting sites, especially with proper care and fertilization, contributing to high yields.
The fruits of pepper 'Atlet' have a conical shape with 3-4 chambers, weighing between 90 to 190 grams depending on growing conditions and ripeness stage. In technical maturity, fruits are light yellow or dark green, and in biological maturity, they turn into a rich red hue. Fruit length reaches 13-15 cm, diameter — 8-9 cm, wall thickness — 7-8 mm. The flesh has a crisp, juicy texture with excellent flavor, making the pepper versatile for fresh consumption, thermal processing, canning, and freezing. The skin is thin, so fruits are recommended to be stored for no more than 10-14 days.
Additionally, to improve plant condition under stressful situations, such as adverse weather or nutrient deficiency, the agricultural product 'Atlet' can be used. It helps slow down pepper growth during stress, after which the plant recovers and continues to develop. To achieve maximum yield, it is important to provide optimal growing conditions, timely fertilization, and proper microclimate, allowing the variety to fully realize its potential and produce high-quality fruits with high nutritional value.
