Pepper ORANGE CLASSIC

Technical Profile of the "Orange Classic" Hybrid

The "Orange Classic" pepper from NVP Agrovnedra is a breeding product focused on achieving high-quality fruit yields in temperate climates. Its genetic foundation is built on stable fruit set performance during significant temperature fluctuations, which is critical for agricultural conditions in Ukraine.

Fruit Architecture: Wall Thickness as a Profitability Factor

The main technical feature of this hybrid is the formation of a blocky, cube-shaped fruit with a wall thickness of 8-9 mm. From an agronomic perspective, this provides several advantages:

• Transportability: High pulp density significantly reduces the risk of mechanical damage during logistics and shipping.
• Marketable Yield: Consistent wall thickness allows for maintaining high fruit weight, which directly impacts yield per square meter.
• Gastronomic Quality: Pronounced juiciness and dense structure make the hybrid versatile, suitable for both fresh market sales and industrial processing.

Cultivation Environment and Growth Cycle

Biological maturity of the fruit is reached in 75-80 days after transplanting. The hybrid's adaptability allows for cultivation in two primary environments:

• Open field: The plant exhibits sufficient vegetative vigor to handle field stressors while adhering to planting patterns.
• Glass greenhouses: A controlled microclimate allows the hybrid to fully realize its potential, eliminating risks associated with weather stress and ensuring uniform fruit coloration.

The breeding program by VNIIOOB and NPP Agrovnedrenie (led by Yuri Ivanovich Avdeev and Lyudmila Mikhailovna Ivanova) focuses on creating a hybrid that combines blocky geometry with high maturity levels. This represents a balanced solution for farmers requiring predictable yields under standard cultivation protocols.
