LUMOS

Early yellow-fruited pepper hybrid 'Lumos F1' developed by the Dutch company Syngenta Seeds. This variety features a medium-height, spreading plant with a robust leaf canopy and abundant fruit set. Staking is required for successful cultivation, as the plant can reach up to 1.5 meters in height and is not tolerant of wind loads. Lumos F1 is suitable for both greenhouse and open-ground cultivation with support and a bushy structure.

The peppers of Lumos have a cube-like shape with smooth walls and well-defined lobes. Their size is approximately 9 by 10 centimeters, and their weight ranges from 220 to 250 grams, sometimes exceeding this. Wall thickness reaches 9-10 mm, making the flesh very succulent and meaty. In technical maturity, the fruits are a deep green, while in biological maturity they exhibit a bright lemon-yellow hue. The pepper has a pleasant sweet taste and high dry matter and juice content, making it popular for fresh consumption, thermal processing, and canning.

The vegetation period is 65-70 days from transplanting seedlings to the permanent location, with the first fruits maturing as early as day 60-65. The hybrid exhibits rapid and uniform fruit setting with consistent ripening intervals, ensuring a stable yield. Lumos F1 is resistant to blossom-end rot and tobacco mosaic virus, maintains good market appearance during transport and storage, making it attractive for market sale and various processing applications.
