Machete

Machete pepper is an early-maturing variety prized for its high yield and excellent flavor. This spicy pepper is suitable for cultivation both in open fields and greenhouses, making it a versatile choice for various climatic conditions. The plant is semi-spreading with drooping, narrow-conical fruits that are greenish-white in technical ripeness and vivid red in biological ripeness. Fruit weight ranges from 35 to 50 grams, wall thickness is 2-2.5 mm, and flavor is characterized by pronounced spiciness. The variety is resistant to diseases, including tobacco mosaic virus, and heat-tolerant, ensuring stable and prolonged fruiting. Commercial yield under plastic coverings reaches 4.3-4.8 kg per square meter, making Machete profitable for commercial cultivation. Fruits have a creamy-yellow hue and conical shape, are juicy and aromatic, and are highly valued in culinary applications. It is important not to confuse Machete pepper with the machete tool, which is a 510 mm stainless steel blade with a plastic handle used for cutting vegetation for agricultural and tourism purposes. Unlike the tool, Machete pepper is an agricultural product with unique agronomic characteristics and flavor qualities.
