Pepper Samurai

Reliability and High Yield Potential

"Samurai" is a pepper variety favored by growers who prioritize consistent fruit size and resistance to common pathogens. Developed by the N.I. Vavilov Institute, this variety produces high-quality, trapezoidal fruits weighing between 200 and 250 grams. Its impressive length of 18 cm makes it highly marketable for both wholesale produce and fresh retail sales.

Disease Management

The primary advantage of "Samurai" in professional agriculture is its high resistance to viral diseases, most notably Tobacco Mosaic Virus. This characteristic allows farmers to optimize their pest management programs, reducing the need for intensive fungicide applications and protecting the overall crop yield. The 110–120 day maturation period is ideal for both protected greenhouses and open-field cultivation, provided proper climate management is maintained.

• Viral Resilience: Highly effective in environments prone to mosaic virus pressure, protecting the investment in crop development.
• Marketability: The dark red, firm fruits handle transport exceptionally well, maintaining quality through the supply chain.
• Management Tips: To reach the upper limit of the 250g weight range, a balanced fertilization program emphasizing potassium during the fruiting phase is essential.

"Samurai" provides growers with a dependable solution that combines robust viral resistance with a high-value, attractive product, ensuring a stable performance across varying growing conditions.
