Description

Admiral F1

The Admiral hybrid pepper is a premium blocky variety known for its excellent quality and adaptability. At full physiological maturity, the fruits transition to a vibrant yellow, making them highly attractive for both fresh consumption and culinary uses. This variety is suitable for both greenhouse and open field production, providing flexibility for growers.

Yield and Growing Specifications

• Admiral peppers yield between 25 to 30 tonnes per acre.
• Under optimal greenhouse conditions, yields can significantly increase to between 50 to 60 tonnes per acre.
• Each fruit weighs approximately 220 grams, providing a consistent and marketable product size.
• The peppers have a classic blocky square shape, ideal for various culinary applications.
• Admiral peppers have a shelf life of up to 21 days, ensuring they remain fresh and marketable during transport and storage.
• The plants are indeterminate, meaning they continue to grow and produce fruit throughout the growing season.
• The plants exhibit medium to strong vigour, supporting robust growth and high yields.

Maturity

The Admiral hybrid pepper reaches maturity approximately 90 days after transplanting, allowing for timely and efficient harvesting cycles.

Disease Resistance

• Admiral peppers are bred for resistance to several common diseases, enhancing their reliability and reducing the need for chemical controls. They are resistant to:
• Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV): This resistance helps prevent the spread of one of the most common and damaging viruses affecting peppers.
• Potato Virus Y (PVY): Resistance to PVY protects against a widespread virus that can severely impact yield and quality.
• Bacterial Leaf Spot (Race 1-3): This resistance helps the plants withstand multiple races of the bacterial leaf spot pathogen, ensuring healthier foliage and better overall plant health.

Pepper Mottle Virus (PepMoV): Resistance to PepMoV ensures that the peppers maintain their quality and productivity despite potential viral pressures
