SVPB1987

Outstanding Qualities

• For open field and shade net production
• Bright red, blocky fruit
• Excellent yield potential
• Resistance against bacterial spot, powdery mildew and phytophthora

SVPB1987 is a widely adapted, hybrid blocky pepper for production in the open field and shade net. SVPB1987 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 balanced over the full production cycle of the plant. SVPB1987 has resistance against Bacterial spot race 0-3,7,8 (Xcv:0-3,7,8), Powdery mildew (Leveillula taurica Lt), Tobacco mosaic virus (Tm0) and intermediate resistance to Phytophthora (Pc) and Tomato spotted wilt (TSWV). The yield is good throughout a long growing season.

Special Varietal Requirements

• SVPB1987 is a medium compact plant. We, therefore, suggest that plants are trellised for open field production
• As fruit set can be concentrated, we suggest that flowers of the 1st bottom split are removed
