Pepper Vityaz — a mid-season variety with a ripening period from 110 to 119 days, intended for cultivation in open ground and under plastic covers. The plant is compact, about 40-50 cm tall, semi-spreading, and does not require staking. The fruits are drooping, large, with a truncated-conical shape and slight ribbing, possessing dense and succulent flesh. In technical ripeness, they are light green, and in biological ripeness — deep red. Fruit mass varies from 60 to 200 grams, with a wall thickness of 5-8 mm, ensuring their density and firmness. The variety is characterized by stable high yield, reaching 7-7.2 kg per square meter. The fruits have excellent taste qualities — sweet, juicy, and aromatic with a balanced flavor. Due to their dense texture, Vityaz pepper is ideal for fresh consumption, as well as for home cooking and preservation. The fruits withstand thermal processing and sterilization, making them perfect for preparing spicy marinated snacks and other winter preserves. Vityaz pepper is resistant to blossom end rot, enhancing its reliability in cultivation. The plant can be trained on a two-stem trellis or in a standard bush form. The variety’s universal use, high transportability, and uniform fruit size make it an attractive choice for gardeners and farmers seeking quality and flavorful harvests.
