Hot Pepper

For decades, BASF | Nunhems  has been dedicated to developing hot pepper seeds that deliver yield, disease resistance, and fruit quality. Our breeding expertise and market knowledge enable us to support growers worldwide with innovative solutions tailored to their specific needs.

Strong portfolio for every market 

The BASF | Nunhems hot pepper portfolio offers growers a broad selection of jalapeño seeds, cayenne pepper seeds, and other varieties for both processing and the fresh market. With new varieties being developed and introduced regularly, we are the partner growers can rely on for seeds that help them grow high yields of high-quality hot peppers.  

Advanced resistance without compromise 

Our varieties come with different levels of resistance against threats like the Leaf Curl Virus, Powdery Mildew and Anthracnose. What makes our seeds stand out, is that we don’t compromise on other desirable traits when we develop new, more resistant varieties. Our vast experience and expertise in genetics allow us to develop varieties that will meet the needs of even the most demanding markets, even when pressure from diseases is on the rise.  

Performance-proven varieties 

One of the results of our efforts is Armour, our most popular variety and a true champion of resistance. Its striking green color and shine make it extremely attractive; the fruit quality is excellent, and it will thrive even under difficult circumstances.   

Collaboration and future-focused solutions 

By collaborating intensively with many partners in the supply and value chain we gain valuable feedback, knowledge and insights. We use that to actively support our growers in reducing labor costs, navigating shifting markets and adapting to changing growing conditions, amongst others. It is in our nature to help growers around the world grow a profitable crop. Now and in the future.
