SLOVANUS F1
SLOVANUS is our improved SLOVANA type pepper. Its conical fruits ripen from light green to white (in full technical maturity). Its extreme earliness and high yield potential make it an excellent choice for the fresh market. SLOVANUS can produce very big yields but, like SLOVANA, it also requires inputs like drip irrigation with fertilization and regular harvesting to reach its full potential.
AMY
Farmers refer to this very popular variety as the „Queen“ of field peppers. The fruits are of the pyramid type and have a good flavor. Starts as creamy white, which is the color when it is marketed, and eventually ripens to a light red. AMY is a reliably good yielding variety and has excellent plant health. Fruits of AMY are also perfect for stuffing and freezing as the fruits do not become bitter when frozen.

Fruits are very similar to AMY but more uniform in shape and anthocyan free so no black/purple stripes develop on the fruits. Starts as creamy white, in recommended harvest stage, and eventually becomes light red. Best suited for fresh market and processing. Very good for stuffing.
AMYKUS F1
A last member of „AMY“ family. Its conical fruits are longer than the fruits of the other „AMY“ types. Juicy, creamy white fruits are very attractive for the fresh market. A significant advantage of this variety is its strong leaf canopy which protects the fruits from sunburn. Yields very well in intensive growing conditions in open field or unheated hoophouse with drip irrigation but has also proven to be very reliable under less favorable growing conditions. Therefore it is also suitable for smaller, lower tech growers.
SASKIA F1
