CAPONI PEPPERS

A sharp character with predictable results

The variety "Puli Capone" from SDK-SEEDS is designed to meet the needs of farmers seeking a stable, predictable hot pepper that performs consistently despite changing climatic conditions. Developed by an expert team (Dubinin S.V., Zharova A.S., Dubinina I.N.), this pepper is aimed at professional growers who prioritize both fruit aesthetics and pathogen resistance.

Agrotechnical Profile and Plant Health

The main advantage of this variety is its genetic resistance to a range of viral diseases. In intensive farming, where Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) and various mosaic viruses can devastate yields, "Puli Capone" serves as a robust shield, reducing the need for excessive insecticide treatments against virus vectors.

• Maturity: A ripening period of 75–80 days places it in the mid-season category, which is ideal for efficient harvest planning.
• Adaptability: Its versatility in cultivation—from open field settings to glass greenhouses—makes it a flexible tool for various agro-climatic zones.
• Appearance: The conical fruit shape is highly convenient for packaging, while the transition from dark green (technical maturity) to bright red (biological maturity) allows for staggered harvests based on market demand.

Who should choose "Puli Capone"?

This variety is tailored for those who value marketability. The conical shape and fruit uniformity streamline packaging and logistics. Unlike many imported hybrids that require strict and costly feeding regimes, "Puli Capone" is more adaptable to standard agricultural practices. One potential challenge is the need for strict irrigation control during fruit development to prevent deformation, but when basic agronomy is followed, the variety delivers high yields per square meter. It is an excellent choice for commercial growers targeting both the fresh market and the processing sector (pickling, drying), where intense heat and yield consistency are paramount.
