Growing Sweet Peppers

IN southern regions it grows well in open ground, but in more northern latitudes largest harvest from pepper is obtained in greenhouse conditions. Sweet peppers have a grassy stem that becomes stiff at the base over time. In places of branching of the plant, single flowers appear.

Sweet pepper is a self-pollinating crop, but sometimes it is cross-pollinated by insects. Bell pepper plantings should be located away from beds with hot pepper, since their mutual cross-pollination can occur, which leads to the appearance of a bitter taste in the fruits.

Sweet pepper differs from other crops in a rather long growing season. The best varieties of sweet pepper (according to summer residents) are early ripe varieties, in which technical ripeness in closed ground occurs approximately 100 days after germination. That is why this culture, both in the middle latitudes and in the southern ones, is grown through seedlings. At the same time, the seeds of sweet early thick-walled pepper are sown in boxes with a fertile soil substrate in early February.

Sweet pepper is a rather demanding and thermophilic culture. Its seeds germinate fastest at a temperature of 25–27 °C. These plants thrive best at 20-23°C. It is noteworthy that when the ambient temperature drops to 13 ° C, sweet pepper seedlings and even adult plants stop growing.

When the first leaves appear, the seedlings dive according to the scheme 6x6 or 7x7 cm in boxes or 1 plant in or plastic cups. Before planting in open ground, pepper seedlings are hardened for 7-10 days. It is best to plant plants with 7-9 formed leaves in a permanent place. Seedlings are planted in open ground only when the threat of spring frosts has passed, since it dies already at 0 ° C. The plants are planted in rows, the distance between which is 40-45 cm. The interval between peppers should be 30-40 cm. It can be reduced when planting compact, undersized varieties.

The beds for sweet peppers are fertilized in the fall. To do this, 4-5 kg of rotted humus are added to the soil or per 1 sq.m. plot or . 20-30 g per 1 sq.m. are applied to the soil. Such soil fertilization can be carried out a few days before planting seedlings in the spring.

To get the maximum high yield required timely care for plants and creating them the most favorable conditions. Sweet peppers are planted in well-lit areas, protected from the wind. With a lack of light, the plants stretch and shed flowers and ovaries. The soil for this type of pepper should be fertile, light and neutral in acidity. It must be constantly hydrated. The lack of moisture greatly inhibits the growth of plants, therefore, without regular watering, they become dwarfed, and the fruits become small and ugly.

Sweet peppers are sensitive to excess nitrogen. At the same time, the plants quickly develop green mass, but the number of flowers and ovaries decreases.

In early August, pinch the tops of the stems and remove all the buds and flowers that will not have time to ripen before the onset of autumn. After 10-15 days, the operation is repeated. During the growing season, tall peppers are tied to stakes or trellises 2-3 times.

To feed sweet peppers, use diluted bird droppings or a mixture of mullein with. You can also fertilize with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers.

During the growing season, weeds must be regularly removed and the soil loosened. The fruits of sweet pepper can be harvested unripe (at the stage of technical ripeness). In the phase of biological ripeness, they contain more sugar, but if you wait for the fruits to fully ripen on the bush, then the total yield will be much lower.

When complete care behind these plants, they provide their owners with a very high yield from the bush. Early varieties of pepper grow even in Siberia.

Since this region is quite cold, which means it is poorly suitable for growing bell pepper, special varieties of paprika have been developed for it, such as Topolin (characterized by large, up to 150 grams, fruits) and Kolobok (very compact plants).

Take note: for the Ural region, varieties such as Sevilla, Montero, Edino are better than others. Mountains are the best place for the growth of varieties such as Barguzin, Kubyshka, Sonata, Kudesnik.

Sweet pepper is grown mainly (even in the southern regions) seedling method. Seeds on, having previously prepared, are sown in February.

Seed preparation consists of:

Disinfection - soak for half an hour in a weak (1%) solution of potassium permanganate, then rinse thoroughly with water.
Treatment with growth stimulants.
Treatment with antifungal drugs.

After processing, the seeds are sown in separate containers at a depth of 0.5-1 cm. For the germination of sweet pepper seeds, it is desirable to maintain a temperature of 25-30 degrees. After germination of seedlings (usually on the fourth day), the temperature is lowered to 18 degrees for a week, after which it is again raised to 25 degrees. Lowering the temperature prevents the seedlings from stretching.

The first time - after the appearance of three true leaves.
The second time - in the phase of eight leaves.

For take on 10l of water:

Urea - 50 g
Potassium salt - 30 g
Superphosphate - 125 g.

Seedlings should be watered immediately after fertilization. clean water. As the seedlings grow, sprinkle the earth in containers. Two weeks before planting on the beds, seedlings need to be hardened off: during the day, the plants are taken out to the balcony or loggia (if the weather is warm), and they are brought back into the room at night.

A week before planting, you can feed the plants with potassium salt, and a day before planting - with a growth stimulator.

This treatment contributes to a better viability of pepper, a 2-fold reduction in the nitrate content in fruits and an increase in yield by 30-40%.

Seedlings are ready for transplanting into the ground at the age of 55 days: plants have 12 leaves, reach a height of 25 cm, a fairly thick stem and become even green tint. The soil must be warmed up to a temperature of at least 15 degrees.

It is advisable to add to the soil for planting pepper per 1 sq.m:

Phosphorus fertilizers - 40 g.
Humus or compost - 1 bucket.
Nitrogen fertilizers - 30 g.
Potash fertilizers - 40 g.

Seedlings are transplanted into holes, which are pre-moistened with 2 liters of water each. Planting density is determined by the feature of the variety:

Peppers of low-growing varieties are planted with an interval of 15 cm.
Medium-sized peppers - at a distance of 25 cm.
Plants of tall varieties - at a distance of 35 cm.

Ridges are usually made about a meter wide and half a meter between rows. Since sweet pepper is a heat-loving plant, it is more expedient to grow it indoors. To stimulate growth at the initial stage of development, it is recommended to remove one lower bud and all leaves and branches until the first branching on the main shoot. Remove diseased and barren branches, too.

An important part of the care of sweet peppers is the timely and constant maintenance (without sudden changes) temperature in the greenhouse. With a lack of moisture, plants are affected gray rot, and temperature fluctuations cause a significant decrease in yield.

According to scientists, such a vegetable of our beds as sweet pepper, whose varieties allow you to get simply fantastic yields, deserves at least 3 gold medals among all vegetable crops: for the content of vitamin C, for vitamin A (carotene) and vitamin PP, which is generally very rare. ascorbic acid(vitamin C) in it is 8-10 times more than in onions and tomatoes, twice as much as in black currants and even lemons.
