Pepper Kumbukkal/Kumbuckal Pepper Plant

Kumbukkal pepper is prized for its remarkable disease resistance, a key feature that sets it apart as a highly productive variety. The pepper bells are organized in six columns at each turn, and as they ripen, they naturally twist and coil, yielding additional bells. This unique characteristic makes Kumbukkal pepper resilient even in the scorching heat of summer. One of its noteworthy qualities is its adaptability to various soil types, including low-lying areas, making it suitable for diverse cultivation environments. In the favorable climate of Kerala, Kumbukkal pepper exhibits exceptional growth, ensuring a fruitful crop from the first year of planting. Compared to standard pepper plants that produce an average of 2 to 3 kilograms of dry pepper, Kumbukkal pepper boasts an impressive average of 4 to 6 kilograms of dry pepper, making it a highly desirable and productive variety for pepper growers.
