Pepper HONEYBEE

Stable yields in open field conditions

When selecting pepper varieties for open-field cultivation, predictability is the most critical asset for any grower. The 'Medovey' variety is a true workhorse, delivering consistent performance with minimal maintenance. Its maturity period of 55–65 days allows for precise harvest planning, avoiding the risks of late frosts or prolonged autumn rains.

Technical Specifications

• Fruit characteristics: The conical shape facilitates automated harvesting and packaging. Fruit weight stays reliably within the 100–120 gram range, making it a market standard for commercial sales.
• Wall thickness and transportability: A wall thickness of 6–8 mm ensures the fruit is dense enough to withstand long-distance logistics without losing its aesthetic appeal.
• Color evolution: The transition from a technical green stage to a vibrant light yellow in the biological phase is uniform, minimizing waste and sorting costs at the field level.

Operational Insights

Developed by the Federal Rice Center in collaboration with private breeders, this variety exhibits high adaptability to climatic stress. In practice, the crop does not require complex interventions; under a standard fertilization and irrigation regimen, the plants form compact bushes that do not necessitate heavy trellising. The variety's natural resilience to common nightshade diseases reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications, optimizing your production budget.

To reach the peak potential of 120 grams per fruit, we recommend monitoring irrigation intensity during the active fruiting phase. This is an instance where the genetic potential of local breeding truly performs in the field, ensuring a high output of marketable produce per square meter.
