Citrine

Outstanding Qualities

• Very large, blocky fruit
• Excellent yield potential
• Dark green fruit turning bright yellow

Citrine is a dark green to bright yellow, early maturing blocky type sweet pepper with high yield potential. Citrine has a very high percentage of large first-grade fruit when grown under moderate temperatures. The fruit is uniform and has thick fruit walls. Plants are medium compact and have short internodes. Citrine has high resistance to Pepper mild mottle race 1 and 2 (PMMoV1.2). Mature green fruit is dark green which makes it perfect for high quality green picking especially in the open field. Citrine has an excellent yield potential for a yellow variety.

Special Varietal Requirements

• Although Citrine has a medium compact plant, trellising in the open field is suggested as fruit quality and yield can be improved significantly
• The best quality is formed under moderate temperature conditions and good ventilation
• Yellow peppers require more iron (Fe) than red ones, especially in winter
