Hungarian Wax Pepper Trial
July 2025 – El-sahrawi Road, Egypt
Trial Introduction
The trial for the Hungarian Pepper was conducted during Summer 2025 to evaluate the variety’s yield potential, fruit quality, pest and disease resistance, and overall adaptability. The positive results from this trial led to the official approval of the variety for commercial cultivation.
Trial Monitoring
- Technical Team: Experienced agronomists and crop technicians conducted regular monitoring throughout the trial period.
- Monitoring Method: Plants were observed from transplanting to harvest for vegetative growth, flowering, fruit set, and any signs of pests or diseases.
- Visual Documentation: Regular photos were taken at key growth stages to document plant performance and fruit development.
- Agronomic Practices: Standard irrigation and fertilization practices were applied to evaluate the variety under optimal conditions.
- Note: Any abnormalities in growth, leaf color, or fruit development were recorded to ensure accurate assessment of the variety.
Performance Assessment
- 1. Plant Vigor & Growth
- Hungarian Pepper displayed strong, upright stems with well-developed branches.
- Leaves were large, dark green, and healthy, reflecting efficient nutrient uptake.
- Overall, the plant structure allows for easy harvesting and good air circulation, reducing disease pressure.
- 2. Fruit Yield & Quality
