Snowdon F1

Genetic Protection and Yield Efficiency

Snowdon F1 by the Dutch breeding company Bejo is a professional sweet pepper hybrid whose performance relies on a high level of phytosanitary resistance. The key feature of this hybrid is its built-in genetic resistance: the plant exhibits strong immunity to Tobacco Mosaic Virus and a spectrum of other viral pathogens, which is critical for securing marketable yields in high-pressure environments.

Technical Fruit Specifications

This hybrid produces uniform, conical-shaped fruits, simplifying packing and enhancing the product's visual appeal. The average weight of a single fruit ranges from 80 to 100 grams. A hallmark of this model is its color stability: the pepper maintains a consistent light yellow hue in both technical and biological ripeness stages. This allows growers to schedule harvests without fear of quality degradation due to over-ripening.

Agronomic Management and Growth Patterns

Snowdon F1 displays a determinate growth habit, making it efficient for managing planting density. With a maturity period of 75–80 days, it falls into the medium-early category. The plant's high plasticity allows for cultivation in both greenhouse conditions, where early market entry is vital, and open-field scenarios following standard agronomic protocols. The compact nature of the plant canopy ensures good ventilation, significantly reducing the risk of secondary infections in high-density plantings.
