Benefits of Red Thunder F1
Uniform fruits
Red Thunder F1 produces fruits with good uniformity. Consistent fruit size, shape and colour can make grading easier. It may also help farmers meet specific buyer requirements.
Continuous production
The plants offer good production continuity under suitable conditions. Reliable irrigation, balanced crop nutrition and regular harvesting support continued fruit development.
Two harvest stages
The chillies change from green to glossy red as they mature. Farmers can therefore harvest them at the colour required by their target market.
Convenient harvesting
The fruits are relatively easy to pick. Careful harvesting helps protect the fruits and productive branches from damage.
