Double Up

Outstanding Qualities

• Deal for open field production
• Bright red, blocky fruit
• Excellent yield potential
• Intermediate resistance against bacterial spot

Double Up is a widely adapted, hybrid blocky pepper for production in the open field. Double Up yields fruit of outstanding quality in the open field. The fruit is uniformly blocky, approximately 10 x 10 cm, shows very little purpling and ripens to a uniform bright red that is suitable for pre-packing and bulk packaging. Fruit set is concentrated, resulting in high first pick yields. Double Up has intermediate resistance against Bacterial spot race 1, 2 and 3 (Xcv 1.2.3). The yield is good throughout a long growing season.

Special Varietal Requirements

• Double Up is a medium compact plant. It is, therefore, suggest that plants be trellised for open field production
• As fruit set is concentrated, we suggest that flowers of the 1st and 2nd bottom splits are removed
• If the fruit of the first set is picked at the mature green stage, the plant may be allowed to set fruit
