Corrina F1

Stable yields of conical bell pepper

The 'Corina F1' hybrid from Rijk Zwaan breeders is a practical tool for those seeking a balance between early maturity and disease resistance. Classified as a determinate type, this pepper is highly manageable for cycle planning across various growing environments.

Cultivation and plant protection

The main argument for 'Corina F1' is its biological resilience. In intensive vegetable farming, pathogen protection is paramount. This hybrid shows high resistance to Tobacco Mosaic Virus, which is critical for preventing viral infections in greenhouses. The plant effectively withstands brown spot and mycosphaerella blight, allowing for a reduction in pesticide application.

Fruit parameters and logistics

For farmers focused on the fresh produce market, commercial quality is essential:

• A maturity period of 72–78 days ensures harvesting within optimal market windows.
• The fruit shape is conical with a characteristic 3-lobe structure, ideal for packing and shipping.
• The size of 13x11 cm and weight of 120–160 grams are considered a 'gold standard' for retail.
• A wall thickness of 5–6 mm ensures sufficient firmness, preventing turgor loss during storage.

The transition from dark green in technical maturity to vibrant red in biological maturity allows for multi-stage harvesting, adapting to specific client requirements. Its versatility — suitable for both open fields and greenhouses — makes this hybrid a flexible solution for agricultural operations of any size.
