Origin & Breeding History: 'E20S0492' (breeder's reference E20S.0492) originated from a controlled cross between the two proprietary lines E20S.0492-F and E20S.0492-M conducted in August 2019 in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. From the resulting progeny, the hybrid pepper variety 'E20S0492' was selected in 2020 based on production characteristics, colour, brix rating, shelf life and disease resistance.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'E20S0492' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number PPS2216, purchased from the Naktuinbouw in Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands. The trial was conducted by the Naktuinbouw in Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands from 2022 to 2023.
