The Topepo Yellow Pepper produces round, flattened fruits, about 5-6x10 cm, with glossy skin in bright yellow. The flesh is very thick, a trait that makes it the ideal variety for stuffing and filling.
Its botanical name is Capsicum annuum, belonging to the Solanaceae family. The plant has an upright habit, medium-tall, with upward-facing fruiting and a medium-early cycle.
It is a vigorous, healthy and hardy variety, capable of adapting well even in more challenging growing environments.
Protected sowing takes place between February and March, while transplanting typically occurs in April-May, with a recommended spacing of 70 cm between rows and 50 cm along the row.
The Topepo Yellow Pepper prefers fertile, well-drained soil, in a sunny position. It is suitable for both greenhouse and open field cultivation, thanks to the plant's good hardiness and productive capacity.
The fruit should preferably be harvested during the color-turning stage, when it is still particularly crisp and retains good turgor even after picking.
Harvest extends from April to October depending on the growing area. Thanks to its round, flattened shape and thick flesh, it is the variety of choice for stuffing, excellent both baked and preserved.
Like other pepper varieties, it can be subject to attacks by aphids and red spider mites, controllable with natural garlic or nettle macerates, and to root rot in case of prolonged waterlogging. Good soil drainage and crop rotation, avoiding repeated Solanaceae cultivation on the same plot for several consecutive years, are important preventive measures.
The Topepo Yellow Pepper is rich in vitamin C and provitamin A, with natural antioxidant properties. Its thick flesh makes it particularly nutritious compared to other pepper varieties.
