Bell pepper KENT F1

Consistent Yields with Japanese Precision

Working with the KENT F1 hybrid from Sakata, it quickly becomes clear why Japanese breeding is considered the gold standard for reliability. In intensive vegetable production, this pepper behaves predictably, which is crucial for supply chain planning. The determinate growth habit allows for effective load management on the plant, while the vigorous root system performs well even under minimal stress conditions.

Agronomics and Protection

The main advantage in field operations is disease resistance. Tobacco Mosaic Virus and other viral plant diseases, which often devastate greenhouse crops, do not pose a critical threat to KENT F1. This significantly reduces spending on fungicides and insecticides, allowing you to focus on balanced crop nutrition.

Product Quality

• Weight and Size: A stable weight of 200–250 grams with a planting density of 35,000–55,000 plants/ha ensures a predictable harvest volume.
• Wall Thickness: A wall thickness of 8–9 mm guarantees excellent transportability. The peppers remain firm during transit, retaining their market appeal until they reach the shelf.
• Ripening Stage: The transition from a pale yellow-white color (technical maturity) to a vibrant red (biological maturity) is uniform. The blocky shape with 3-4 chambers meets exact retail standards.

When grown in open fields, this hybrid demonstrates excellent adaptability. The plants are compact and do not require complex staking, which simplifies maintenance and harvesting. If you are looking for a crop that combines thick walls with strong disease resistance, KENT F1 is your essential tool for the season.
