Description

Commercial Spice Excellence: Vanda Inter Seeds Hot Pepper – Xian 244

Optimize your pepper production with the elite genetics of the Vanda Inter Seeds Hot Pepper F1 Hybrid – Xian 244. Specifically bred for the demanding Thai fresh market, this variety belongs to the highly sought-after “Phrik Num” category of long, light-green peppers. Cultivated for its thick, crisp flesh and mild-to-medium heat, Xian 244 is the ultimate culinary chili for grilling, roasting, and producing traditional pastes like Northern Thailand’s famous Nam Phrik Num. For the professional grower, it offers a reliable, high-grade harvest that commands premium wholesale prices.

Elite Field Performance and Disease Resistance: Xian 244 is an F1 hybrid that excels under high-stress tropical conditions. The plant features a vigorous, upright branching habit that keeps the heavy fruit clusters off the soil, reducing the risk of rot and making harvesting highly efficient. Its most significant commercial advantage is its advanced genetic resistance to major threats, including Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV) and Anthracnose, ensuring a prolonged and highly productive lifecycle even during humid, rainy seasons. The fruits are exceptionally uniform, reducing sorting time and maximizing your “Grade A” yield.

Key Characteristics:

• Premium Phrik Num Quality: Beautiful light-green, glossy fruits with thick walls that hold up perfectly to roasting and processing.
• Heavy Continuous Yields: Vigorous plants push out multiple flushes of fruit, ensuring a steady supply throughout the harvesting window.
• Robust Disease Tolerance: Bred to withstand common foliar and viral pressures, significantly reducing crop loss and the need for intensive spraying.
• Excellent Transportability: Firm fruits resist bruising and maintain their vibrant color and crisp texture during long-distance shipping.

Professional Planting & Care:

1. Nursery Management: Sow seeds in high-quality peat moss in seedling trays. Keep lightly moist and well-lit for 25-30 days until seedlings develop 4-5 true leaves.
2. Soil & Spacing: Transplant into well-draining, compost-enriched soil on raised beds to prevent waterlogging. Space plants 40–50 cm apart with 80–100 cm between rows to ensure adequate airflow.
3. Watering & Nutrition: Peppers require steady moisture. Apply a balanced NPK fertilizer (15-15-15) early on to build a strong plant structure. Once flowering begins, switch to a high-potassium blend (13-13-21) to maximize fruit length, weight, and continuous setting.
4. Harvesting: Begin picking at 65–75 days post-transplant when the peppers reach their full length (15-18 cm) and maintain a bright, light-green color. Regular harvesting encourages the plant to produce more fruit.
