RED CHEEKS

Technical profile of the «Krasnye Shchechki» pepper

The «Krasnye Shchechki» (Red Cheeks) pepper variety from Agrofirma Poisk is a mid-season crop designed for stable yields across varying climate conditions. With a growing cycle of 110 to 120 days, it is well-suited for both open-field cultivation and controlled environments such as glass greenhouses.

Geometry and physical parameters of the fruit

A key structural feature of this hybrid is its cuboid shape, which ensures optimal weight distribution and density. This simplifies logistics, as the fruits are less prone to deformation during transport. The fruit weight ranges from 120 to 190 grams, making this pepper an excellent candidate for both fresh market sales and culinary processing.

• Wall thickness: Measured at 5–7 mm, this dimension provides the perfect balance between juicy texture and durability post-harvest.
• Maturation phases: The transition from dark green (technical maturity) to deep dark red (biological maturity) allows for precise visual monitoring of the harvest readiness.

The practical application of the «Krasnye Shchechki» variety demonstrates strong adaptability to greenhouse conditions. Consistent plant development in glass structures confirms its resilience to the microclimatic fluctuations typical of professional vegetable production. The breeding work led by N.N. Klimenko and S.V. Maksimov ensures a balance between fruit development rates and horticultural requirements, providing high yield potential per square meter.
