Orange King

Stable Yield for Market Demands

The «Orange King» pepper variety, developed by the «Agricultural Selection and Production Enterprise Sortsemovosch», is a reliable tool for growers focused on high-quality market produce. This variety has proven itself in open-field cultivation as a crop capable of consistently producing large fruits under standard agronomic practices.

Agronomic Characteristics and Practical Use

As a mid-season variety, «Orange King» has a growing cycle of 80 to 100 days. In open-field conditions, this maturity window allows for effective scheduling of staggered harvests. With an average fruit weight of 200–250 grams, it is highly suitable for retail chains and markets where fruit size and premium visual appeal are key value drivers.

• Fruit Geometry: The blocky, cuboid shape allows for efficient packing into standard containers, reducing damage during logistics and transport.
• Application: Its excellent sweet flavor profile makes it ideal for both the fresh market and professional culinary use in the HoReCa sector.
• Reliability: The variety exhibits predictable growth habits, which is essential for large-scale operations where uniform maturation is critical.

To achieve the target weight of 250 grams per fruit, agronomists should prioritize a consistent drip irrigation system and scheduled nutrient application during the peak fruiting phase. «Orange King» responds effectively to potassium-based fertilizers, which directly improves both the color intensity and the thickness of the pepper walls. When planted at the correct density, the plant develops a robust, compact structure capable of supporting the heavy fruit load without significant lodging.
