Hot Pepper

Pathfinder is a new serrano pepper variety with excellent plant and foliar cover, with an average fruit length of 4.5-5” which is maintained throughout the entire production cycle. Pathfinder is resistant to Tm: 0 and X spp 0-3, 7, 8, with high pungency and an average fruit weight of 30 grams. With a nice dark green color, thick walls and a great shelf life, Pathfinder is suitable for the export market.

Pathfinder has been a very stable and adaptable variety for all planting regions. This serrano has a dark green color and maintains its large size throughout the production cycle. Early and high yielding for cold to hot and hot to cold regions. The peduncle is a key component of Pathfinder as it keeps its dark green color as well, providing a better shelf life and fresh appearance.

Resistance Terminology

HR = High resistance: plant varieties that highly restrict the growth and development of the specified pest or pathogen under normal pest or pathogen pressure when compared to susceptible varieties. These plant varieties may, however, exhibit some symptoms or damage under heavy pathogen or pest pressure.

IR = Intermediate resistance: plant varieties that restrict the growth and development of the specified pest or pathogen, but may exhibit a greater range of symptoms or damage compared to “highly resistant” varieties. Intermediately resistant plant varieties will still show less severe symptoms or damage than susceptible plant varieties when grown under similar environmental conditions and/or pathogen or pest pressure.

T = Tolerance: The ability of a plant variety to endure abiotic stress without serious consequences for growth, appearance and yield.

*Tm: 0 – designates resistance to Pepper Tobamovirus Group 0: BPMoV, TMV: 0, and ToMV: 0

Tm: 0, 1 – designates resistance to Pepper Tobamovirus Group 0 and Group 1: TMGMV & PaMMV

Tm: 0-2 – designates resistance to Pepper Tobamovirus Group 0, 1 and Group 2: PMMoV: 1.2

Tm: 0-3 – designates resistance to Pepper Tobamovirus Group 0, 1, 2 and Group 3: PMMoV: 1.2.3
