Momentum

Outstanding Qualities

• Ideal For Open Field Production
• Bright Red, Blocky Fruit
• Excellent Yield Potential
• Resistance Against Bacterial Spot, Cucumber Mosaic Virus And Phytophthora

Momentum is a widely adapted, hybrid blocky pepper for production in the open field. Momentum yields fruit of outstanding quality in the open field. The fruit is uniformly blocky, approximately 10 x 10 cm 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. Momentum has resistance against Bacterial spot race 0 – 4, 7 – 9. (Xcv 0-4,7-9), Tobacco etch virus, Potato virus Y, Tobacco mosaic virus, Pepper mottle virus and intermediate resistance to Cucumber mosaic virus and Phytophthora. The yield is good throughout a long growing season.

Special Varietal Requirements

• Momentum 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 1st and 2nd bottom splits are removed
