ISKANDER

Field Experience with 'Iskander' Sweet Pepper

Working with the 'Iskander' hybrid from 'Ваше хозяйство' (Your Farm), you quickly realize its reliability. As an indeterminate variety, it demands proper pruning and trellising, but the crop load per plant justifies the effort. We have tested this hybrid both in open field conditions and commercial glasshouses, where it consistently demonstrates strong vigor and high resilience.

Cultivation and Protection

With a maturity cycle of 100-110 days, this pepper allows for predictable harvest scheduling. The most significant advantage for the grower is its robust health profile: the hybrid shows high resistance to Anthracnose and stands up well against Powdery Mildew. Reducing the frequency of fungicide applications not only lowers operational costs but also improves the overall quality of the yield.

Marketability and Fruit Quality

The cuboid shape of the fruit is a market standard. With a weight of 200-250 grams and a wall thickness of 6-7 mm, these peppers are well-suited for long-distance transport without bruising. The transition from technical green to deep, vibrant red is uniform and consistent. Measuring 13x11 cm, these fruits are ideal for fresh produce retailers and large-scale processing.
