Of course I have helpers for this work, to fumigate and tie up the plants, but even so my job is maintenance and to see that everything is in order.
Regarding the weight may vary depending on the hybrid and the brand of seed.
For example the seed we use is westar 5272 (WS-5272).
Oh predator paprika of the brand hazera.
Let's say that in the first case from one plant you can get up to 1kg per week, that is 3 ripe peppers for cutting each week.
In the case of predator, it can be approximately 800gr.
But we measure the production by baskets sold, in this case the basket weighs about 12-13kg.
In a good production it is normal to get one basket per 100 plants. But in the second week of harvest it is even more normal to get double or almost double, that is to say from 3000 plants for example we can get 55-60 baskets.
In this first harvest, our first sale was of 20 baskets (this is known as "despunte", it is to cut the ripe fruits early).
The second week or second sale was 55 baskets.
The third week was 100 baskets.
The fourth week 38 baskets.
And then it decreased much more.
The decrease is due to the rains that cause the flowers to fall and the pollen is basically washed away.
I think our last weeks were 10 baskets per cutting. Something really poor.
I have friends and acquaintances who have had double and triple the harvest and production, but it depends a lot on the weather.
Look at the examples these pictures are from engineer wilfrido. Taken by him of his harvest, specimens of 400 and 300gr, something really incredible.
