| Days to Maturity |
Exhibits early to mid-season maturity, typically ready for first harvest within 65–70 days post-transplanting. This fast-maturing trait allows for rapid turnover and optimized land utilization. |
| Yield Potential |
Known for high-yield potential, this hybrid is designed to produce a profuse number of fruits per plant. With optimal agronomic management and balanced fertilization, growers can achieve market-leading yields. |
| Disease Resistance |
Engineered with strong tolerance to common chilli pathogens, including major viral complex (LCV), sucking pests, and fungal threats like anthracnose, ensuring a healthier crop and reduced chemical dependency. |
| Fruit/Plant Characteristics |
The plants exhibit strong, vigorous growth with an upright/spreading habit. The fruits are long (12-14 cm), dark green in the unripe stage, turning into a vibrant, deep red upon maturity, with a smooth, glossy skin finish. |
