Pepper Python

Python pepper is an early-maturing, high-yielding sweet pepper variety that ripens within 115-125 days from seedling emergence to the start of fruiting. Plants reach up to 1.4 meters in height, have a semi-spreading form and moderate leafiness, evenly loaded with fruit. The fruits are horn-shaped, 25-27 cm long, weighing approximately 60 grams, and with a 3 mm wall thickness. In technical maturity, the fruits have a green glossy color, and in biological maturity — red. The variety is recommended for cultivation in plastic and glass-covered greenhouses, and is also suitable for open ground.

Sowing for seedlings is carried out at the end of February, with transplanting in the cotyledon stage, and planting into the ground occurs at the end of May. To form the bush, it is recommended to remove all side shoots and leaves up to the first fork, which promotes even growth and fruiting. The planting scheme is 40×60 cm, providing optimal space for plant growth. The hybrid possesses genetic resistance to tobacco mosaic virus, enhancing its reliability and reducing disease risk.

The fruits of the Python pepper are versatile in use: they are suitable for fresh consumption, salad preparation, canning, and pickling. When consuming green fruits, the seeds do not need to be removed, simplifying preparation. The high yield of this variety reaches up to 3.8 kg per square meter, making it attractive for commercial cultivation and home gardening.
