Pepper Vitalica

Vitalica F1 pepper is a hybrid variety of bell pepper with very large fruits, suitable for cultivation in open ground as well as greenhouses to achieve earlier harvests. The plant features strong but compact growth with vertical support and abundant foliage that protects the fruits from sunburn. A robust root system promotes rapid development and balanced plant growth. The hybrid has a slightly vegetative growth type, tolerates stressful conditions well, and ensures good fruit set with subsequent high yields. Vitalica fruits have a smooth surface with 2 or 3 lobes, 6–7 cm wide at the top and 20–25 cm long. They are characterized by dense flesh and a distinctive flavor, resistant to cracking and free from micro-cracks. This pepper is recommended for both fresh consumption and processing — roasting or frying. The optimal planting density is 45,000–50,000 plants per hectare, ensuring maximum productivity. The hybrid is resistant to several pathogens, including Tobacco Mosaic Virus (Tm 0-2), Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV), Potato Virus Y (PVY 0,1), and Bacterial Blight (XCV 1-3). Vitalica is a versatile pepper combining high yield, disease resistance, and excellent taste. Its fruits are suitable for various culinary applications, adding rich flavor and appealing appearance to dishes. Due to its characteristics, this hybrid is an excellent choice for both commercial cultivation and personal use.
