Origin & Breeding History: 'Raptor' (pre-commercial name DRPB0737) originated from a hand pollinated cross conducted in 2014 at the Seminis breeding station located in Bergschenhoek, the Netherlands. The cross was made between proprietary Seminis breeding lines 'SBO-28-1272' as the female parent, and 'SBO-XZ15-0097' as the male parent. From the resulting progeny, the hybrid pepper variety 'Raptor' was selected in 2016 for its leaf cover, yield and disease resistance.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Raptor' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number PPS1812, purchased from the Naktuinbouw, Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands. The trial was conducted by the Naktuinbouw, Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands, in 2018.
