The 'Granova' pepper variety is a medium-ripening sweet type, characterized by high yield and excellent flavor qualities. The plant forms a compact or spreading bush, 60–100 cm tall, with lush foliage, allowing it to be successfully grown both in open ground and under cover. The ripening period is approximately 110–120 days after germination, enabling harvest at either technical or biological maturity.
'Granova' fruits have a cube-shaped, cylindrical, or conical form with a smooth, glossy, deep red skin. The average fruit weight ranges from 150 to 300 grams, with wall thickness of 5–8 mm. The pepper has 3–4 chambers and dense, juicy flesh with a distinctive sweet and aromatic flavor, making it suitable for fresh consumption and culinary use. The fruits have an attractive market appearance and uniform size, which is especially important for commercial cultivation.
For successful cultivation, sow seeds in seedlings 60–70 days before transplanting into the soil at a temperature of +20…+25 °C. Transplanting should occur after the threat of frost, when soil temperature reaches +15 °C, with an optimal planting scheme of 40×40 cm. The variety is resistant to stress conditions, including temperature fluctuations and drought, enhancing its reliability and stable yield. High yield allows harvesting up to 3–4 kg of quality fruits per plant.
