Characterization and description of the disease resistant pepper variety

Sweet pepper is a thermophilic, southern plant. When growing in our country, he needs to create comfortable conditions. Some varieties do not take root at all in the northern regions.

However, the selection does not stand still! For many years of cultivation of sweet pepper in atypical conditions for it, scientists have developed many varieties and hybrids that are stable in all respects.

Rules for choosing a resistant grade to low temperature

Pepper cannot be planted and forgotten, it must be looked after, watered, fed, cultivated, protected from diseases and pests, harvested weeds and formed. A vegetable is of high value, and demand, as you know, creates supply. On the shelves of seed shops you can find many not only resistant to low temperatures and diseases varieties and hybrids of pepper, but also undemanding to care.

In order not to make a mistake with the choice, one should remember a very important point. Hybrids (marked F1) were obtained by crossing several varieties of pepper. They give offspring, incorporating all the best qualities of the original plants. It is these peppers that steadily accept all surprises from the weather, they are not afraid of common diseases of the culture. But it’s hard to say how undemanding they are to care.

Choosing pepper for regions with a cool climate, you should carefully analyze the conditions in which it will be grown. It is necessary to take into account all the most important nuances, we list the main recommendations:

• It is advisable for residents of the northern or central regions to opt for peppers of early or medium maturity. They will have time to give the crop before the onset of cold weather;
• peppers emit a well-lit, closed from strong winds, flat area with permeable, fertile and non-acidic soil;
• the best precursors for pepper will be onions, garlic and legumes;
• when growing tall peppers in advance, think over the organization of supports for garter. Varieties and hybrids whose bushes grow above a meter are best planted only in greenhouses;
• in too cold regions, you can’t do without a greenhouse or film shelters, even the most persistent peppers will not take root in the open ground;
• watering is carried out regularly, pepper does not develop in over-dried soil, however, the culture does not grow in wetlands. Watering is carried out in the morning as early as possible, so that the foliage has time to dry before a cool night;
• Do not forget about feeding. Peppers need nutrition a couple of weeks after planting in a permanent place, during flowering, as well as during the formation and filling of fruits.

All these tips will help to grow healthy peppers that can not only withstand harsh climatic conditions, but also give a good, high-quality crop.

Rules for growing pepper seedlings

In the homeland of sweet pepper, it is grown from seeds as a perennial crop for several seasons in a row. But in countries where the summer is short, for example, we need to plant a plant every year, and only in seedlings. How to prepare seedlings of sweet pepper:

• sowing is carried out from the second half of February to mid-March. The exact dates are determined by checking the information on the package;
• containers, soil and seeds are prepared in advance;
• the box is filled with soil, grains are laid out, watered, covered with a transparent film and put in a warm place;
• when the seeds hatch, the shelter is removed and the box is rearranged on the lightest window sill, and the room temperature is maintained at 25–27 ° C;
• seedlings that have acquired two true leaves can be dived into separate containers;
• at all stages of seedling growth, peppers are watered with warm water, lightened and, if necessary, fed;
• 2 weeks before planting, they begin hardening, lower the temperature in the room, if this is not done, it will be difficult for the bushes to take root in the new conditions;
• peppers are transplanted to a permanent place when they acquire 7 or 8 leaves.

Reviews

Elizabeth.We in Siberia already got the hang of growing even atypical, exotic peppers, but not everyone succeeds. It is better, of course, to select zoned varieties. By the way, a lot depends on how well grown seedlings are. I have my own, time-tested, favorite varieties, this is Kolobok and Novosibirsk. Harvest, do not get sick and easily tolerate temperature changes. The fruits are delicious fresh, in various dishes and spins.

 

Boris I will single out the best, in my opinion, varieties for the Urals - Pioneer, Bogatyr and Montero. They never let me down, although I do not spend any preventive spraying and visit the country only on weekends. Part of the seedlings goes to the greenhouse, and some of them are planted in the open-air courtyard, the amount of harvest is almost the same. The only thing you need to do is carefully prepare the soil and seeds.
