OUTSTANDING QUALITIES
- IDEAL FOR OPEN FIELD PRODUCTION
- BRIGHT RED, BLOCKY FRUIT
- EXCELLENT YIELD POTENTIAL
- RESISTANCE AGAINST BACTERIAL LEAF SPOT AND TOMATO SPOTTED WILT VIRUS
Autry*is a widely adapted, hybrid blocky pepper for production in the open field. Autry*yields fruit of outstanding quality in the open field. The fruit are uniformly blocky, approximately 10 x 10 cm and ripen to a uniform bright red that is suitable for pre-packing and bulk packaging. Fruit set is concentrated, resulting in high first pick yields. Autry*has resistance against Bacterial spot race 1 – 10 (Xcv 1 – 10), Tobacco mosaic virus and intermediate resistance to Tomato spotted wilt virus. The yield is good throughout a long growth season.
SPECIAL VARIETAL REQUIREMENTS
- Autry*is a medium compact plant. We therefore suggest that plants are trellised for open field production
- As fruit set is concentrated, we suggest that flowers of the 1stand 2ndbottom splits are removed
