CASTOR

Reliable Open-Field Pepper Production

The «Kastor» pepper variety from the Russian company «Evro-Semena» is specifically engineered for growers who prioritize crop reliability and disease resistance over the high-maintenance requirements of greenhouse hybrids. This variety is designed to withstand the volatile environmental conditions of open-field cultivation.

Why Choose «Kastor»?

• Disease Resistance: The standout characteristic of this variety is its inherent resistance to rot. In open-field settings where waterlogging often leads to harvest loss, «Kastor» offers a robust defense system that helps farmers maintain productivity throughout the season.
• Consistent Fruit Quality: With a weight of 100–120 grams and a uniform round shape, these peppers are highly versatile. They are perfectly sized for stuffing, canning, or direct consumption, and their structural integrity makes them resilient during transportation.
• Growth Cycle: With a maturity period of 80–100 days, this variety ensures a harvest window that fits well into regions with shorter growing seasons.

Is This the Right Variety for You?

«Kastor» is a practical choice for small-to-medium farm operations and home gardeners who need consistent results without excessive chemical intervention. While it does not compete with large, 200g+ blocky hybrids intended for high-end retail, it provides a dependable, high-quality crop that won't succumb to field conditions easily.

Strong points: Excellent resistance to rot, low maintenance requirements, and high transportability. Weak points: Moderate fruit size may not satisfy markets that exclusively demand massive bell peppers, but it excels in shelf stability and plant health.
