Pepper Yocarino

Consistent performance in the fresh market segment

The Yokarino hybrid from the Dutch breeding company Rijk Zwaan has firmly established itself as a high-yielding pepper variety for the fresh market. Unlike standard blocky peppers, this hybrid offers a unique combination of shape and density, making it a preferred choice for professional greenhouse operations.

Agronomic features and specifications

Yokarino is classified as a mid-early hybrid with a maturity period of 110 to 120 days. Its main strength is fruit plasticity: depending on growing conditions and nutrient management, the plant produces conical-blocky fruits weighing between 60 and 160 grams. The wall thickness ranges from 4 to 9 mm, ensuring that the produce maintains excellent marketability during transport.

• Resistance: Genetic protection against Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) significantly reduces crop loss risks in greenhouse environments.
• Technical maturity: The fruits feature a rich green color, transitioning to vibrant shades upon ripening, which attracts consumer attention at the point of sale.
• Size profile: Fruit dimensions (ranging from 10x10 cm to 13x11 cm) are ideal for tray packaging, simplifying logistics for supermarket chains.

Who is this hybrid for?

Yokarino is optimal for farmers focused on premium-quality produce with a long shelf life. If you require predictable results and want to minimize the percentage of culls caused by fruit deformation, this hybrid is a reliable asset for your operation. While it requires precise mineral nutrition, it responds vigorously to intensive cultivation practices, delivering high total yields per square meter of greenhouse space.
