To improve farmers’ incomes by diversifying produce, Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services developed a highly productive mini paprika, namely, ‘Raon red.’ Since 2007, various genetic resources have been collected and bred to obtain pure line separations for crossbreeding purposes. In 2012, a cross combination between an orange-colored female parent ‘MBO 008’ and a red-colored male parent ‘SBR 970’ was selected among the diverse crossings. The characteristics of the resultant F1, named ‘Raon red’ in 2014, were verified through field tests conducted from 2013 to 2014. ‘Raon red’ plants grew with a similar vigor to ‘RD Glory’ (control). The fruit of this variety weighed 56 g, twice that of the control; in addition, it had a stable shape with a bright red color. The soluble solids of the fruits averaged 10.2 °Bx and 1.6 °Bx lower than those of the control. Additionally, the fruit was 29% firmer than that of the control, and its pericarp was 29% thicker. The yield per 10a of ‘Raon red’ was 5,035 kg, twice that of the control. Overall, this new cultivar is expected to increase the income of mini paprika growers because of its high productivity (Registration No. 6375).
