SNIGUR

Dependable productivity for open fields

The «Snihur» pepper, developed by the Institute of Vegetable and Melon Growing of NAAS, is a robust variety designed for growers who prioritize reliability in open-field conditions. Its determinate growth habit eliminates the need for complex trellising or heavy pruning, significantly reducing labor costs in large-scale operations.

Resilience as a production advantage

The primary appeal of this variety is its inherent genetic resistance to major threats. In intensive farming, where viral pathogens can reduce yields by nearly half, «Snihur» shows exceptional tolerance to Tobacco Mosaic Virus and Fusarium wilt. This feature makes it an ideal selection for fields with high infection pressure, allowing farmers to maintain yields while optimizing their chemical protection programs.

Key production metrics

• Maturation period: 75–80 days (mid-early).
• Fruit shape: Conical.
• Weight: 60–80 grams.
• Wall thickness: 4–5 mm.
• Color: Deep green to vibrant red upon biological maturity.

The uniform size and density of the fruits make «Snihur» a marketable favorite for both fresh produce retail and commercial canning. The fruits exhibit good transportability, maintaining their structure during shipping. With a wall thickness of 4–5 mm, the variety provides the perfect balance between juiciness and long shelf life, ensuring quality reach for the end consumer.
