Bacterial spot resistant pepper seed Pantera

hybrid

New! Widely adapted and high-yielding. Fruits avg. 4 1/2" long and are smooth, glossy, and slow to check. Large, vigorous, continuous-set type plants have a very high yield potential. Similar to Jedi but a few days earlier to mature with slightly bigger fruits. Performs well in the East and the West. Disease Resistance: • Bacterial Leaf Spot races 1–3, 7, 8 (High) Specs: • Packet: 25 seeds • Avg. 100,000 seeds/lb SCIENTIFIC NAME: Capsicum annuum CULTURE: Peppers thrive in well-drained, fertile soils with a pH of 6.5. Abundant phosphorus and calcium is needed for the best results. GROWING SEEDLINGS: Sow seed in 20-row or shallow flats, 4 seeds/in., 1/4" deep, in late March or about 8 weeks prior to transplanting. If possible, maintain soil temperatures at 80-90°F (27-32°C). Pepper seeds germinate very slowly in cooler soil. When the first true leaves appear, transplant seedlings into 2" cell-type containers or 4" pots. Grow plants at approx. 70°F (21°C) day and 60°F (16°C) nights. COLD TREATMENT: Exposing the seedlings to controlled cold treatments can increase the number of flowers and fruits. When the third true leaf appears, grow the plants at a minimum night temperature of 53-55°F (12-13°C) for 4 weeks. The plants should receive full sunlight. After 4 weeks adjust temperature to 70°F (21°C) day and night. If this technique is used, peppers should be seeded 1-2 weeks earlier than usual.
