ABSTRACT: The Habanero hot pepper group is not well known in Brazil, despite its origin in the Amazon. Nevertheless, domestic and international markets have been increasing the demand for this type of hot pepper. The Brazilian agroindustry is interested in supplying part of this demand with high quality products and competitive prices, and it needs well-adapted cultivars. To fill this gap, Embrapa Vegetables developed the Habanero pepper cultivar BRS Juruti, which meets the demands of both the market for fresh fruit and the processing agroindustry of mash and sauces. Cultivar BRS Juruti has red fruits and yielded around 50 t/ha (36,000 plants/ha). Fruit pungency is circa 260,000 SHU and fruits have high content of vitamin C (122 mg/100 g). BRS Juruti is resistant to several viruses, Oidiopsis sicula, and Meloidogyne javanica, and presents intermediate resistance to key bacterial diseases; and is highly uniform in comparison with the original population. Cultivar BRS Juruti is recommended for open field (specially adapted to the Central Region of Brazil), as well as greenhouse/screenhouse cultivation. BRS Juruti has been registered (RNC 32010) and protected (DOU 01/09/2015) in theBrazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and FoodSupply (MAPA). Breeders' seed is being made available to interested parties in the private sector.</jats:p
