Cultivation and care
Planting seedlings
You can buy seeds in a specialized store or collect from the crop. To do this, a little pepper must be left on the bush. When he begins to wrinkle, pluck and extract the seeds, which then must be dried and folded into a bag of paper.
Sowing seeds is recommended in February, the plus is that they are distinguished by excellent germination. You can buy or prepare the soil yourself in the fall. To do this, take mix in equal proportions: peat, chernozem and turf soil and mix thoroughly, before planting on a bucket of the mixture you need to add three tablespoons of wood ash.
Seeds before planting are better to soak in warm water and leave for about 5 hours, after which you can plant. Sowing seeds can be in one common capacity, or in separate. For this, 200 ml plastic cups are suitable. The latter option will save time, because in the future you will no longer have to dive plants. After planting, watering is absolutely necessary, it is necessary to do this with well-maintained warm water, then you should cover the containers with foil and wait for emergence. After the seedlings hatch, the film is removed, otherwise it will stretch and will be unusable.
Young plants are best placed in a sunny place. When four leaves appear on each plant, it is necessary to fertilize them with fertilizing containing nitrogen, so that they would increase the green mass. It is sometimes recommended to loosen the soil, it is most convenient to do this with a plastic fork.The temperature in the room should be at least 20 degrees. 7 days before transplanting the seedlings into the soil, you need to start hardening so that it grows stronger. The hardening procedure is carried out as follows: Every day the plant is taken out for several minutes in fresh air, or the room is ventilated, naturally, the outdoor temperature should be at least 160.
Landing
To get a good harvest, not only proper care is important, but the choice of a place to plant. As you know, each plant needs certain useful substances, and during the growth period it pulls them out of the soil. Therefore, planting the same crop in the same area every year should not be. It is worth considering another point that the plants sometimes get sick, while infecting the soil, and the infection can recur in the next season. The best predecessor for pepper are: cucumbers, carrots, beets and cabbage. It is not recommended to plant after potatoes, tomatoes and eggplant.
The selected area should be fertilized and plowed. It is desirable that he be in a sunny place, since Boneta loves light and warmth. Young plants are transplanted into open soil in early June, and can be transferred to a greenhouse in early May. Wells are made in a checkerboard pattern, 1 m2 should not be located more than six plants.
Before planting, fertilizers are added to the wells and watered with settled water at a temperature of 200. The roots should not be buried during planting. During the first seven days, you need to water the plant daily, but not plentifully. When forming the first ovaries, it is better to feed the pepper with potash fertilizers, they will help the vegetable grow and ripen faster, and increase the yield in the future. If there are a lot of ovaries on the bush, it would be better to tie up pepper to avoid breaking the stem.
Disease and weather resistant
“Boneta” tolerates fluctuations in temperature and dry weather, but it still affects the yield. It is believed that this variety has a natural immunity to common diseases. But for prevention, it is better to treat the plant several times with fungicides, taking a break between procedures for about 10 days.
