Yedda
Yedda is an easy setting hybrid that produces consistent XL fruits with a high uniformity. It produces true yellow blocky fruits with an average fruit weight between 220 – 240 grams. Yedda is a strong variety, and growers benefit especially when managing a climate strategy that depends on received daylight. Maintaining a higher temperature on days with high radiation will increase fruit development and lead to higher yield than references. Due to its plant power, Yedda will produce consistent XL fruit size across different conditions. Yedda is strong against blossom end rot and has resistance against Tm:0-3.

Bedena
Bedena is an open plant type with balanced growth. Especially at the start the plant habit can be generative. It is important to manage plant load by a pruning strategy in relation to the available daylight in that time of year. When fruit load is managed accordingly, Bedena will grow in an optimal balance all through the season. This variety consistently produces fruits suitable for value added packaging with an average fruit weight between 200 – 220 grams. Bedena will produce the highest number fruits per m2 with an excellent shape, giving highest return for Growers. Fruits have intense red color and are strong against internal fruit rot. The variety has resistance against Tm:0-3 / TSWV and Lt. (Powdery mildew).

Both varieties were developed for Pepper Growers looking to bring consistent excellent quality fruits to market while achieving highest return on their crops.
