The pepper varieties that Hazera Genetics will exhibit are of the Blocky type, with high levels of firmness and long fruit life on the plants, which gives growers more flexibility as to the picking date. In addition, all the varieties have high tolerance to the TSWV virus, and various deficiencies characteristic of pepper growing, such as iron and potassium deficiencies. The new varieties are named Atir, Liri and Hila. They are high yield varieties characterized by uniform and consistent yields, that cuts work days required to remove disfigured fruit.
Additional new pepper varieties with high yields for late picking and with long shelf life are Zofar (red fruit) and Sheizaf (yellow fruit).
