Grey captions say what stands behind that particular figure. Breeding, growth habit and fruit characters carry no caption because they rest on the record's sources as a whole rather than citing their own; closing that gap is ordinary outstanding work, not a finished job.

Measurements

Against the rest of the pepper database

Where this variety sits among every pepper we hold a comparable figure for. Position is not merit: earlier is not better than later, and hotter is not better than milder. Only cultivar-level figures are compared, never trial results, and maturity is only ranked against figures counted the same way.

Trial results

What this variety did in published university trials. These are observations of a season, not properties of the seed, so they are kept separate from the measurements above and are never merged into them. Letters are each report's own mean-separation groups.

Across every trial

What each measurement rests on. A figure from one plot in one season and a figure seen repeatedly across sites and years are different kinds of evidence, so the weight is printed beside the number rather than left for the reader to count.

Ranges span what was observed; no average is taken across trials. Where the trials measured differently or grew at different populations the figures are a spread across conditions, not one population, and the row says so.

Each trial states its own limits, and they are worth reading before acting on any figure here. Yields in these reports are extrapolated from small research plots and run higher than commercial farms achieve; cull rates reflect the disease pressure of one particular season.

Disease resistance

Sources disagree about phytophthora blight: recorded as intermediate and resistant by Johnny's Selected Seeds catalog versus Pepper Varieties Resistant to Phytophthora Blight and Bacterial Leaf Spot. Both are kept.

Bs records that this variety has some resistance to this disease without naming which gene. The pathogen has 11 named races that different genes answer differently, so how much of it this covers is not established by the source.

PVY records that this variety has some resistance to this disease without naming which gene. The pathogen has 3 named races that different genes answer differently, so how much of it this covers is not established by the source.

Bacterial Spot: Recorded separately for 4 of 11 named races, with the same response to each.

Potato Virus Y: Recorded at disease level. This pathogen has 3 named races that varieties meet differently, and the source we cite does not distinguish them.

Breeder declared means the resistance was stated by whoever breeds or sells the seed. That is not a reason to disbelieve it, and for most resistance genes it is the only evidence that exists: the breeder screens the line and publishes the result in their catalog, and no independent party re-tests it. We label it rather than quietly presenting it as though someone had checked.
