Kwikli F1 is an early hybrid of sweet pepper, suitable for cultivation both in open ground and in greenhouses. The maturity period is 80–90 days from germination to technical ripeness. The plant is medium-sized, robust, and well-leafed, requiring no pruning. Fruits have a conical shape, glossy surface, and weigh 100–120 grams. At technical ripeness, they are light-greenish, and at biological ripeness, they turn into a rich red hue. Fruit wall thickness is 5–7 mm, ensuring their density and good marketability.
One distinctive feature of the Kwikli hybrid is the accelerated transition from technical to biological ripeness, which takes only 12–15 days. The pepper is distinguished by excellent taste and high transportability, making it attractive for commercial cultivation and marketing. The hybrid is resistant to various viral diseases, including tobacco mosaic virus (TMV 0–2), tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), and has relative resistance to verticillium wilt (Va, Vd). Additionally, Kwikli F1 tolerates temperature stresses, including heat, and shows good fruit set under adverse conditions.
For optimal yield, a planting density of 5–7 plants per square meter is recommended. Yield in open ground reaches 4–5 kg per square meter, while in greenhouses it can reach 7–9 kg per square meter. Thanks to its early maturity, disease and stress resistance, and high fruit quality, Kwikli F1 is an excellent choice for farmers and gardeners aiming to achieve a stable and high-quality harvest.
