How to choose the right variety of sweet pepper?

1. Hybrid or variety. If the package is marked “F1”, then this is a hybrid. Such seeds have higher yields and larger fruits. Also, hybrid peppers have better taste and good immunity to diseases and pests, which cannot be said about varietal varieties. But pure varieties can be used for seed reproduction.
2. Type of fruit. This criterion includes the desired color, size and shape of the future fetus. They can be different: cylindrical or oval, spherical or cuboid, elongated or cone-shaped. A description of the fruit is usually presented on the packaging. The color changes depending on the ripeness of the fruit, so the pepper is technically ripe while still green. But among consumers, red-fruited (Ilya Muromets, Alyosha Popovich, Red Slon, Lastochka) and yellow-fruited (Raisa, Isabella, Indalo, Katyusha) varieties are in wide demand.
3. Maturing period. There are three categories in total: early ripening (ripening 80-100 days - Dobrynya Nikitich, Snow White, Orange Miracle, Cardinal, Swallow), mid-ripening (115-130 days - Prometheus, Maxim, Marconi, Belozerka, Vitamin), late ripening (up to 140 days - Gold medal, Night). The optimal solution is to grow three types of peppers at once in order to collect fruits throughout the season.
4. Growing conditions. As mentioned earlier, pepper is a crop that loves heat. That is why it is most often planted in greenhouses or film shelters (Raisa, Kakadu, Baron). Of course, there are varieties on the market for open ground, but, as a rule, they require more careful and delicate care. You can choose a universal variety that is suitable for both greenhouses and open ground (Atlant, Bodrost, Isabella, Podarok Moldova). The assortment also includes varieties intended for growing at home, for example, on the balcony (Fox, Dwarf, Swallow, Medal, Karat, Winnie the Pooh).

Sweet pepper, hybrid “Bon Appetit F1”

I have been planting this sweet pepper for several seasons now. The hybrid is very productive, with large, up to 200 grams, fruits. The fruits are cube-shaped, with a thick wall - up to 8 mm. The seeds of this pepper are included in the “Yummy” series, which is true. The pepper tastes very juicy and sweet.

The fruits are good fresh, stuffed, or prepared. "Bon Appetit" is distinguished by its high yield. On a fairly compact bush, up to 10 peppers are poured at the same time.

The hybrid is mid-season, bears fruit until cold weather. Can be grown in open ground or greenhouse.

Growing region

Most of Russia consists of regions with a cold climate. Therefore, not all varieties on the market are suitable for growing in such conditions. It is necessary to take into account the climatic features of your region and compare them with the recommendations on the seed packaging.

• For Siberia, the most optimal varieties are Kupets, Pioneer, Siberian Prince and Red Bull.
• For Central Russia - Mirage, Karapuz, Agapovsky.
• for the South , including Barin, Maria and Alyosha Popovich.

Sweet pepper, hybrid “Star of the East chocolate F1”

I planted the “Eastern Star Chocolate F1” pepper for the first time last year. I have already tried to grow hybrids from this series, planting “Orange Star of the East”, “...Red”, “...Tangerine”. All these hybrids are early or mid-early, with high yields and large, tasty fruits.

Last year I decided to try the chocolate peppers from this series. I really liked the pepper. The fruits were large, at least 200 grams, some much larger. At technical ripeness, the peppers were dark green; when ripe, they acquired an unusual dark brown color.

The pericarp thickness of these peppers is about 10 mm. They taste wonderful: juicy and tasty. Peppers of this unusual color are good in salads, slices and in lecho along with other colorful varieties. These peppers, it turns out, are also well stored in a cool room. So next year I will plant more of them. The pepper harvest from these plants was good; in terms of ripening time, this hybrid is mid-season.

Regardless of the growing method, you need to choose zoned varieties.

Central Russia

Early and mid-season vegetables produce a good harvest. The easiest to care for are low-growing peppers; bushes rarely need to be tied up and shaped.

Choosing the best variety of bell pepper for your garden

The annual vegetable crop prefers a subtropical climate - the birthplace of pepper is America, but the pioneers of the spicy vegetable with sweetish juicy pulp were Mexicans and Guatemalans. In fact, bell pepper easily grows in open ground in temperate latitudes, provided that agricultural practices are followed. In the northern regions of our country, they are used to growing this plant in greenhouses, but some cultivars bear fruit well in outdoor garden beds.

Sweet peppers are stuffed, stewed, canned, dried with spices and frozen for future use.

They love pepper in Russia, despite its whimsical and heat-loving nature. A wonderful spice, a healthy vegetable, it is eaten fresh and dried, frozen and dried, added to first courses, side dishes, hot appetizers and even baked goods. Pepper will highlight the taste of any dish, the main thing is to use moderation, because even sweet bell peppers sometimes have spicy notes and have a specific aroma.

There are several parameters, based on which the gardener will grow a variety or hybrid suitable for his climatic conditions and will certainly produce a harvest.

• Ripening period: early (90–100 days), mid-season (110–120 days), late (140 days) peppers.
• Greenhouse and ground: cultivars that require light and temperature conditions, as well as less common European hybrids and late-ripening peppers, grow excellently in protected ground; For open ground, early and mid-season varieties that are tolerant of diseases and temperature fluctuations are suitable.
• Varietal and hybrid - varieties allow you to collect seed, but most often they are less productive, they are classic red, yellow or white peppers; hybrids are the result of the work of breeders; such cultivars do not retain maternal qualities in the next generation. Among the hybrid forms there are peppers with unusual fruit colors, large-fruited, ultra-early ripening, high-yielding, and resistant to diseases and pests.
• Vigorous - the height of the bush is up to 1.4–2 m, bears fruit best in a greenhouse, dwarf ones - no more than 0.5–0.6 m, are famous for their early ripening, and grow well in unprotected beds.
• With different shapes and colors of fruits - round, cuboid, elongated, cone-shaped and trunk-shaped, painted in bright orange, purple, brown, burgundy-lilac.
• Ornamental peppers and hybrids for home forcing.

Candy is a pepper with unusual and original fruits, but hybrid seeds are difficult to find on sale

When choosing seed, it is necessary to pay attention to the cold and drought resistance of the cultivar, select zoned varieties that are suitable for the climate of the place of growth. Gourmets and avid vegetable growers ensure that the peppers are productive, thick-walled, and have sweet, aromatic flesh. Gardeners today most often prefer peppers that are tolerant to many diseases, which is apparently why not only old, proven varieties are especially popular, but also new ones. Many people undertake to grow European and American hybrids - the result is quite successful, the main thing is to comply with the requirements for growing conditions.

Below we focus on some of the features of growing bell peppers, knowing which you can get a stable harvest of tasty, juicy fruits all season long.

• Considering that pepper has an extended growing season, seedlings are sown in mid-February - 100 days before planting in the ground.
• Pepper does not like picking, so large containers are immediately selected for future seedlings of this vegetable - 0.5-liter plastic or peat cups.
• When planting in a permanent place, the seedlings are placed at a distance of 30–60 cm (depending on the growth of the cultivar) - the pepper is not afraid of thickening, but if the plants are planted too close, the lack of nutrients will not allow you to get a good harvest.
• The seedlings are not buried, watered immediately after planting, then every 2-3 days for a week.
• Irrigation of pepper beds during the fruiting period is carried out every 5–6 days.
• Vegetable beds are regularly loosened and weeds are removed between the rows.
• The ideal option is to mulch the beds - there is less hassle with watering, and weeds are less annoying.
• On the bushes below the first branch, the stepsons are removed, the procedure is repeated every 2 weeks.
• Fertilizing is the key to long and abundant fruiting. Pepper loves organic matter (for example, fermented chicken manure, diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10), complex mineral fertilizers (for example, Sotka, Agricola, Vegetable bed from the Gera company, use according to instructions), yeast supplements and herbal infusions.

Video: features of growing sweet peppers

The best option is to plant high-yielding and early-ripening cultivars, since pepper, compared to other crops, has a long growing season - the first harvest can be tasted only 5-6 months after planting. From my own experience, I will say that beginners will have to “puff” when growing peppers: the crop loves warmth and light, is demanding on watering, but does not tolerate waterlogging, is responsive to regular feeding and is grown exclusively through seedlings. Without experience, you should not grow peppers using the “chicken feather” method, when chicken fluff and feathers are added to the planting hole, supposedly this enriches the plantings with microelements and increases the yield. Pepper bears fruit well with a varied menu - organic + mineral fertilizers, which are alternated each time and applied at intervals of 10-14 days during the active growing season. And it’s also not always practical to pick off the formed flowers from seedlings - I never do this. I leave all the buds, if you water them with Kornevin and regularly moisten the soil during rooting, the flowers will bear fruit. And in my opinion, the number of ovaries and the abundance of fruiting are greatly influenced by weather, soil composition and nutrition. But it is also necessary to harvest regularly - this provokes the appearance of new ovaries until the cold weather.

Late varieties of pepper

The undoubted advantage of late-ripening crops over early ones is that they allow you to enjoy fresh and tasty vegetables until mid-autumn. But such varieties are optimal only for warm regions. In the cold regions of Russia, due to the short summer, the crop will not be able to fully ripen. Late-ripening varieties of sweet peppers have increased resistance to heat and are not afraid of drought.

"Ruby" - high-yielding variety

This bell pepper is the work of Moldovan breeders. It was created by crossing the Podarok Moldova and Novy Goshary varieties. From its “parents” the pepper borrowed the compact size of the bush, flattened shape and bright red color. According to the state register, this variety is zoned in the North Caucasus region.

This variety of pepper tolerates sudden temperature changes and persistent drought well. It is grown in open ground. In regions with short summers, cultivation of the variety in film greenhouses is allowed. The finished harvest occurs on the 140th day. 1 m² of bed produces about 5 kg of fruit.

Peppers are large in size and heavy in weight, on average 150 g. The shape is cuboidal, flattened. The taste is pronounced, moderately sweet. They can be used for canning, pickling, freezing and slicing fresh.

Advantages and disadvantages

• large fruits
• resistance to temperature changes
• low maintenance
• high immunity
• high vitamin C content

• late maturation

"Paris" - the people's favorite

This variety of pepper has gained wide recognition among amateur gardeners and professional agronomists. All because of its taste and long-term storage for 7 weeks without loss of beneficial properties. Planting can be done from late February to mid-March. The harvest is ready for harvest after 130 days from the first shoots.

The bushes are powerful, large, well spreading, reaching a height of 80 cm. From one m² you can collect up to 10 kg of pepper, so one plant produces up to 2 kg. The average weight of one fruit is 120 g. They have a cubic shape with moderate ribbing.

The color of the pepper is bright ruby. It is characterized by a decent presentation and excellent taste. This variety can be used to prepare fresh vegetable salad, as well as for processing into canned food, ketchups, pastes and sauces.

Advantages and disadvantages

• high yield
• marketable condition
• transportability
• excellent taste
• long-term storage

• intensive watering is important

“Cardinal F1” – black color

"Cardinal" is characterized by an unusual, exotic dark purple, almost black color. It even vaguely resembles a small eggplant. But in fact, the fruits of this variety have excellent taste and versatility of use.

It is advisable to grow this crop in the southern regions in open ground. If you plan to plant in the north, then you need to use a film greenhouse. It is important to know that in a moderate warm climate the yield of this variety is much higher. So, from one m² of garden bed you can collect up to 14 kg of fruits if you regularly water the bushes and add special fertilizers. Ripening begins on the 97th day after germination of the crop.

The fruits themselves are quite large in size - about 250 g. The pepper tastes juicy, sweet, without bitterness. Suitable for preparing vegetable dishes and fresh salads. Can also be used for preservation.

Advantages and disadvantages

• good taste
• high yield
• unusual color
• high immunity

Productive and thick-walled cultivars in pepper beds

Ural thick-walled F1 is one of the most productive cultivars, which will certainly grow in both harsh climates and mild southern ones. The hybrid is valued for its high adaptability to any climate, incredible yield - up to 11-14 kg/m2, large-fruited - burgundy-scarlet peppers of 250-400 g. What is important, the thickness of the pulp sometimes exceeds 10 mm - for lecho and pickled salads. has equals. The cultivar develops fully with the same yield both indoors and outdoors, rarely gets sick, and is famous for its good shelf life.

Ural thick-walled - the harvest is not very good, the pepper is not the largest, but tasty, aromatic and not thin. There aren’t enough fruits, or I don’t know how to grow them...

Hercules, with its square, bright red fruits, belongs to the group of late-ripening peppers and withstands drought and cold, so vegetable growers in any corner of our country are happy to grow this large-fruited, thick-walled variety. Drooping peppercorns grow on spreading low bushes, each of which gains no more than 160 g. According to the State Register of the Russian Federation, Hercules does not have a high yield - up to 3 kg per 1 sq. m, wall thickness - up to 7–8 mm. But many gardeners recommend this variety as a highly productive one, since they achieve returns, especially during greenhouse forcing, of up to 10–12 kg/m2.

The plant is semi-spreading, of medium height. I leave all the trunks as long as they grow. The fruits are cube-shaped, I like this shape. Quite large, with good taste, juicy, wall up to 7 mm. I most often pick peppers at technical ripeness, that is, green, since they reach biological ripeness (red color) very quickly in a box or in any other container.

Hercules pepper is resistant to fusarium and blossom end rot, universal in consumption

The classic pepper variety Kolobok is a favorite of southern vegetable growers: it is considered one of the most delicious mid-late varieties with stable immunity to many diseases. In mild climates, the low-growing cultivar thrives in outdoor garden beds; northerners often grow Kolobok under cover. Despite the assertion of official sources that the yield of the variety rarely exceeds 5 kg per 1 sq. m., experienced gardeners successfully grow this pepper and do not hide - the yield from one cultivar bush sometimes reaches 3-4 kg, that is, up to 9-13 kg/m2 - it all depends on compliance with agricultural technology. Kolobok fruits are actually round-sided, bright red, weigh 140–160 g, and the thickness of the pulp walls reaches 11 mm.

The variety of sweet pepper Kolobok, although it does not quite correspond to the picture on the package with seeds, turned out to be unusually aromatic, fleshy, tasty and interesting in shape, almost all peppers are in the shape of hearts or plums. Low, grows in one trunk, without branching and formation of stepsons. It is very strong, so it does not need a garter, except in case of strong winds when grown in open ground. All fruits ripen on one top. Early ripening, the very first to bear fruit. And it began to bloom at home, as a seedling. In my opinion, “Kolobok” is not as demanding of heat as large-fruited varieties. But peppers ripening in the sun are more aromatic and healthier, and they also become slightly chocolate-colored.

Which varieties of peppers to choose for growing in a polycarbonate greenhouse: a review of the characteristics of the best

Reading time: 9 minutes(s) Pepper is a very heat-loving crop that can be grown without a greenhouse only in regions with a warm southern climate. In the middle zone, peppers need a good and durable greenhouse, ideally made of polycarbonate. To get a good harvest of tasty and healthy vegetables, you need to correctly choose the best varieties of peppers for a polycarbonate greenhouse. Such greenhouses are more reliable and allow you to get a rich harvest in any weather conditions. However, not all varieties of peppers are suitable for growing in polycarbonate greenhouses.

How to choose the right variety and seeds

Before buying pepper seeds, you need to choose a suitable variety, and you need to choose it according to several criteria at once.

• Firstly, this is the height of the greenhouse, which determines whether to purchase a tall or short variety.
• Secondly, it is worth considering the resistance of plants to those pests and diseases that are more common in the region.
• In addition, you need to decide on the ripening time of peppers (early, mid-ripening, late) and the climatic affiliation of the variety.

It is better to buy seeds of regionalized varieties of local selection at the nearest seed station.

Hybrid or variety: which is better and why?

The difference between a variety and a hybrid is that seeds cannot be collected from a hybrid for subsequent planting, but varietal peppers are able to retain all the parental properties in the seeds.

Although hybrids are more resistant to diseases and produce a better harvest, seeds will have to be purchased annually.

Whereas from ordinary varietal peppers, you can collect the seeds yourself and plant the variety you like next year.

Choice of color, shape and size

Modern breeders have developed a huge number of varieties of peppers, of different shapes, sizes and colors. The choice here is not limited, but it is worth reading the description on the packaging.

It indicates not only the main parameters of the variety, but also the wall thickness, pulp density, the need for regular pruning and bush formation, storage duration and the possibility of canning.

Rules of care and feeding: instructions on how to grow peppers in a greenhouse?

Getting a good harvest requires some effort and compliance with the rules of agricultural technology.

Pepper is a rather capricious crop that requires constant care, regular watering and fertilizing, and a certain temperature regime.

Seed preparation

First of all, after purchasing seeds of the selected variety, they must be properly prepared for planting as seedlings. First, the seeds are germinated, that is, they are wrapped in gauze or cotton fabric and placed in a saucer with a small amount of water.

The container with the seeds is covered and placed in a warm place, making sure that the seeds do not dry out. As soon as the first shoots emerge, you can begin planting.

Planting seedlings and caring for them

It is necessary to prepare nutritious soil from 2 parts of humus with the addition of 1 part each of sand and garden soil and place the substrate in small peat pots.

One seed is planted in each pot, since pepper does not tolerate picking. After which, the plantings are watered, covered with glass and kept warm.

You should not water the seedlings often, and the water for watering should be well warm (about +30C). The first fertilizing is carried out when 2 leaves appear (with potassium-phosphorus fertilizers).

Before planting in a greenhouse, young plants are hardened off, periodically taking them outside or to another room with a temperature not lower than +15C.

Preparing the greenhouse and soil for planting

For the winter, the soil in the greenhouse is dug up and organic matter is added at the rate of 2 buckets of manure/1 m2. In the spring, a few days before planting seedlings, the soil is watered with any complex mineral fertilizer.

Caring for peppers in a greenhouse: watering, fertilizing, agricultural technology

After landing in a permanent place:

1. The first time the plant is fertilized during the growing season, once every 2 weeks, using nitrogen fertilizers.
2. During fruit growth and development, peppers are fed only with phosphorus fertilizers.
3. Peppers should be watered early in the morning, before flowering - once every 10 days, and when the peppers are forming - once every 5 days.
4. After each watering, it is necessary to loosen the soil and remove weeds.
5. Tall plants need support, so they are tied to trellises. Bushes that are too dense will have to be pruned.

Prevention of diseases and pests, treatment

The varieties described above are resistant to most diseases, but can be affected by pests.

Plants can be protected by pollination with wood ash, and this treatment should be carried out in the morning, after dew, three times a season.

Spraying with whey diluted with water (0.5 l/bucket) will help get rid of aphids. You should not water the plantings often, so as not to cause the development of rot.

Useful neighborhood: what crops can peppers be grown with in the same greenhouse?

Peppers will feel good next to the following crops:

• cucumbers;
• onion;
• garlic;
• basil;
• eggplants.

Tansy and dill planted nearby will protect from pests.

Useful tips from agronomists: what else do you need to know?

1. It is necessary to strictly follow the planting scheme, i.e., place them so that each bush has enough light.
2. Water the peppers sparingly (often, but not too much).
3. It is necessary to loosen and weed the plantings very carefully so as not to damage the roots.
4. Pepper equally dislikes both cold and heat, so it is important to maintain the temperature regime in the greenhouse.

Following these simple rules will allow you to get a rich harvest of peppers without spending much financial or physical effort.

The choice of varieties and hybrids of the crop is quite extensive. From the varieties proposed above, you can choose a suitable plant that will grow well in a polycarbonate greenhouse.

Hybrid or variety: which is better?

To figure out which is better, a pure variety or a hybrid, it is necessary to consider the concepts themselves and their advantages and disadvantages.

A hybrid is a plant variety that is the result of crossing several varieties to improve taste, external qualities, and increase productivity. Seeds collected from hybrids do not convey the qualities inherent in the parent set. On seed packets the hybrid is indicated as F1.

A pure variety is the name of a group of plants with a characteristic set of qualities. Each variety, from a certain group of plants, is similar to each other, but has its own distinctive characteristics. The seeds of the varieties retain the set of qualities of the parents, they can be planted from year to year, no changes will occur.

Advantages of hybrids:

• ideal external parameters of the fruit;
• high level of productivity;
• disease resistance;
• self-pollinating.

Disadvantages of a hybrid:

• it is necessary to create favorable conditions for the plant (optimal temperature conditions, regular fertilizing, monitor the absence of weeds);
• the seeds from the fruits will not bear fruit the next year.

Advantages of pure varieties:

• the variety is unpretentious in care;
• fruits are rich in vitamins;
• the taste of the fruit is juicy and pleasant;
• tolerate different weather conditions.

Minuses:

• varietal plants are pollinated by bees, sometimes this brings inconvenience, because you have to do the pollination yourself;
• It is difficult to collect seeds from plants with cross-pollination; the primary characteristics of the variety are lost.

On an industrial scale, they prefer to grow hybrids, as they have an excellent presentation, stability, and excellent yield, despite the fact that they need to create favorable conditions. Varietal plants are popular among households, where their taste, usefulness and unpretentiousness are valued. To understand exactly which group of plants is closer to you, buy hybrid seeds and a pure variety and conduct an experiment.

Late ripening peppers

This group of peppers bears fruit well in southern regions and is generally not recommended for cold areas due to the long growing season before biological maturity.

However, vegetable growers have learned to cultivate it in the north, extending the warm season for pepper with the help of greenhouses.

In addition, peppers picked from the bush during the period of their technical ripeness ripen perfectly. Late-ripening varieties are characterized by large fruits.

1. "Zephyr" is a large-fruited hybrid. The peppers are spherical, very juicy, weighing up to 300g.
2. “Bogatyr” is a stable, unpretentious variety. Requires garter due to fragility of branches. Cone-shaped fruits up to 200g. Productivity - 7 kg per 1 m2. Suitable for any type of processing. Beginner gardeners can start getting acquainted with growing peppers here.
3. “Hercules” is a productive variety that is not difficult to grow. The fruits are beautifully cube-shaped, up to 12 cm in length and weighing up to 350g. The color of the peppers is red. Wall thickness - 7mm!
4. "California Miracle" is a variety with very sweet fruits. The bush is tall, up to 1 m. Red fruits are large with wall thickness up to 10mm!!!
5. “Yellow Bell” - the sunny yellow color of the fruit attracts attention to this variety. Weight reaches 180g. Popular because of its high yield (6 kg per 1 m2).
6. “Ruby” is a compact variety with a height of 60 cm. It produces ruby-red fruits 140 days after sowing. The mass of peppers is 150g, the wall thickness is 7.5-10mm!!!

Requirements for greenhouse varieties

In most cases, pepper is grown in regions far from the south under glass or polycarbonate greenhouses or under film, since it is a very heat-loving plant. Therefore, it is worth carefully reading the labels provided by seed manufacturers and purchasing greenhouse varieties. There are several more necessary requirements for greenhouse varieties:

• be sure to take into account the size and location of the structure so that the selected specimens feel favorable and are suitable in height, bushiness, length of daylight hours, and heating;
• take into account the timing of ripening and duration of fruiting.

Below are the characteristics of the most outstanding representatives of greenhouse peppers for their productivity.
