Increase your income potential with the speediest capsicum on the market. Maximinus has been bred specifically for Australian growers who have productivity front-of-mind. Maximinus matures 10–21 days earlier than other varieties, demonstrating a speedy colour change from green to red. With a greater percentage of fruit able to be harvested in the first cycle and with excellent fruit quality and shape, it provides a high recovery potential of first-grade fruit and gives growers the opportunity to reduce harvest costs. Maximinus has High Resistance Bacterial leaf spot races 0-5,7,9 and is suited to warm production time slots.
- Maximinus is ready to harvest 10-21 days earlier than other varieties

Agronomic Tips
- Maximinus is only suitable for hot to cold growing conditions. If this hybrid is grown in spring under variable conditions (mainly large differences in diurnal temperatures) squat fruit can occur. Due to the very early maturity of this hybrid, careful irrigation and fertigation management is required if planted with other varieties to avoid mature red fruit spoilage (on the same irrigation line).
