Arcano F1

Reliable harvest of large-fruited peppers

For professional vegetable growers targeting the fresh market and processing, the Arcano F1 hybrid from the Japanese seed company Sakata has become a benchmark for productivity. In the context of modern commercial farming, where yield optimization is critical, this determinate pepper variety demonstrates impressive fruit weight, ranging from 400 to 500 grams.

Agronomy and Plant Protection

High-intensity farming requires crops that offer both high yields and robust resilience. Arcano F1 effectively withstands major agricultural threats, including Tomato Mosaic Virus and Potato Virus Y. Such resistance helps minimize crop losses whether grown in greenhouses or in open-field conditions.

Product Specifications

• Shape and Structure: Trapezoidal fruits with a characteristic 3-4 lobed configuration.
• Handling Properties: A wall thickness of 7-8 mm ensures excellent transportability and long-lasting shelf appeal.
• Maturation Dynamics: The transition from a rich dark green in the technical maturity stage to a deep bright red in the biological maturity stage allows for flexible harvest scheduling.

The recommended planting density is 35,000 to 55,000 plants per hectare. The optimal density depends on the level of greenhouse technology and soil fertility. Arcano F1 is ideal for farmers focusing on the supply of large, fleshy peppers, which are highly sought after by retail chains for their exceptional taste and marketability.
