This pepper is most often planted in gardens and gardens. Subject to compliance with agricultural technology and care rules, it is recommended for cultivation in the Urals and Siberia (under film cover).

Characteristics and description of the hybrid

Gypsy is an early ripening Dutch hybrid. The first fruits appear 60 days after the seedlings are planted in the beds. The hybrid is intended for cultivation in a greenhouse and in open ground.

Gypsy pepper has a universal table purpose. It is eaten fresh, used in the preparation of various dishes and canned.

Distinctive features

Preparation for cultivation

To grow Denis f1, it is necessary to purchase new seeds annually, since hybrids do not pass on their characteristics to subsequent generations.

Planting material must be the same size, free from rot and plaque, and have a shelf life reserve. Before planting, seeds are sorted and poor quality ones are thrown away.

It is advisable to test seeds for germination:

1. Select 10 pieces, put them in fabric bags in warm water for 24 hours.
2. Remove and place on a flat surface in a warm place (temperature no lower than 30 °C).
3. Keep the bags moist for another 3-4 days. If during this period 5 out of 10 seeds hatch, then good germination awaits you.

Before planting, the seeds are disinfected using a solution of potassium permanganate, and they are also hardened by successive exposure to low and high temperatures for 7 days.

Another factor that determines yield is the quality of the soil used. There are several ways to obtain the correct soil composition:

• mix peat, humus and sawdust in a ratio of 2:2:1 (it is permissible not to use sawdust);
• mix humus with turf (3:2);
• mix manure humus with turf soil (2:1);
• Buy ready-made soil for pepper in the store.

Planting a hybrid

You can grow peppers directly in open ground, but it is better to use seedlings. Moreover, not every region can afford to plant seeds directly into the ground.

Preparing and sowing seeds

First of all, select the best ones from all the seeds; they should be strong and without damage. Then soak them in a weak solution of potassium permanganate, high-quality seed will remain at the bottom, and bad seed will float to the surface. Rinse the remaining grains well under cold water and dry.

Sow the seeds in the soil mixture, cover with film, place the containers in a warm place, the temperature should be about +25 degrees Celsius. The grains will germinate after 1-1.5 weeks.

Picking seedlings

As mentioned earlier, the stems and entire root system of the Gypsy pepper are weak, so when picking, use maximum caution and accuracy. It is very difficult to damage sprouts; once the roots are disrupted, the plants cannot recover

Experienced farmers recommend completely abandoning picking and all kinds of transplants. Sow each seed in a separate pot.

Seedling care

As soon as cotyledon leaves have formed on the sprouts, lower the temperature to +16 degrees, and at night drop it to +12 degrees. Monitor the soil moisture and do not allow it to dry out.

Pay special attention to feeding seedlings. Make the first application of fertilizers a week after picking the sprouts (if it was done)

Use simple mineral ingredients.

Make the second application of fertilizers 10 days after the first. You can use the same thing as the first time. You can use this remedy: 2-3 tbsp. l. ash + 1 liter of water, leave the mixture for 5 days. Before watering the plants, dilute it in a 1:1 ratio.

The third application of fertilizer is carried out 4 days before the direct transplantation of sprouts into open ground with ready-made fertilizers diluted according to the instructions.

Apply all fertilizers during watering: first add water, then the product, then water again. This algorithm will prevent the sprouts from getting burned, especially if you made a mistake with the dosage.

Hardening

When growing pepper seedlings, hardening is a mandatory process. During the day, take the sprouts out into the fresh air; before transplanting, the plant should reach 0.2 m in height and have approximately 10 leaves.

Growing seedlings

Denis f1 is planted for seedlings in late February - early March in accordance with the rules:

1. Place a 10 cm layer of soil in the boxes and water it with a solution of potassium permanganate.
2. After 12 hours, the soil is leveled and compacted.
3. Longitudinal furrows are made in increments of 5 cm.
4. Seeds are lowered into furrows at a distance of 2 cm from each other, planting depth is 1-1.5 cm.
5. Cover the planting with a thin layer of soil.
6. Water with warm water.

Subsequently, the seedlings are watered once a week using warm, settled water. Picking is carried out in the phase of 1-2 standing leaves, while the sprouts are transplanted into separate containers with a volume of 0.5 liters.

The optimal air temperature for seedlings is considered to be in the range of 16-18 °C.

Important. During the first week, it is better not to expose the seedlings to the sun, as this causes them to stretch out and prevent the root system from strengthening.

It is advisable to fertilize the seedlings with complex fertilizers containing microelements and calcium.

Pepper seedlings love warmth, peace and light ; even super-careful picking traumatizes it. For this reason, it is better to grow seedlings without picking. To do this, plant 2 seeds in a separate container. When sprouts appear, they determine which one is stronger and leave it, pinching off the weak one.

Seedlings are planted in the greenhouse in early or mid-May , depending on weather conditions, and in open ground - in early June. By the time of planting, the sprouts should have 8-12 leaves. 2 days before transplanting, the seedlings must be watered abundantly to avoid the earthen clod falling over. You should not water immediately before planting.

Reference. A plant that grew without picking grows stronger: it is ready to be transplanted into the ground a week earlier than indicated.

Agricultural technology for growing bell peppers

Sowing of seedlings is carried out in late February - early March. Picking is done in the phase of 1-2 true leaves.

It is recommended to grow pepper seedlings within 60 days from germination and plant them in the budding phase.

Seedlings are planted in a greenhouse in mid-May, and in open ground in early June, after the threat of return frosts has passed. Planting pattern 40 x 60 cm.

Tall varieties are grown on a trellis, formed into 2 stems, while low-growing varieties are grown in the usual standard form, without a garter.

Remember that pepper is heat-loving and also demanding on soil fertility and moisture.

The Denis pepper is very good, it grows up to 25 cm in length and has very thick walls. The taste is amazing, when ripe it is very sweet and aromatic. They plant it every year, despite the fact that f1 I collect my own seeds and the harvest is always good

Denis F1 sweet pepper is quite popular among vegetable growers and amateur gardeners. Its seeds are produced by many agro companies, “Plasma Seeds”, “Ural Summer Resident”, “Golden Altai”, “Agros” and others. It has been known for a long time, so it has been tested for more than one year of cultivation. Since this is an early ripening variety, it is suitable for those regions where summer is short and mid-season peppers do not have time to ripen.

Pepper Denis F1: description of the variety • Hybrid sweet early variety of bell pepper • Period from germination to reaching technical level. ripeness ranges from 80 to 90 days. • Large-fruited, peppers weigh up to 400 g, walls up to 0.9 cm thick, size 18 by 10 cm. • Peppers are red in color. Cuboid shape. • Resistance to tobacco mosaic viruses. • The bush has a height of 60 – 70 cm. • The variety is suitable for growing in any soil: open and closed. • Recommended for fresh consumption.

Agricultural technology for growing Pepper is grown only through seedlings both in the middle zone and in the southern regions: the conditions of our climate are far from its native South American climate. For seedlings, pepper seeds that have not expired are sown from mid-February; you can take the lunar calendar into account. Plants are planted on the growing moon. We sow pepper in 2022 on 11–12.02 or 13–16.02, if we don’t have time, then we can do it in March: 9–13.

Pepper Denis F1 reviews from vegetable growers advise planting on 70 - 80 days, which turns out to be a little earlier than what seed breeders suggest, although these terms largely depend on weather conditions in the region. When planting seedlings in mid-February, the peppers will be ready to be planted in the ground by the beginning of May, which is too early for open beds, but good for growing peppers in a greenhouse. If you sow in March, the seedlings will be ready by the end of May, which is great for planting in open soil.

Features of cultivation and possible difficulties

Pepper is a crop that is demanding on environmental conditions .
For high yields, it needs soil on which nightshade crops have not been planted for at least 5 years. When planting, the distance between rows is 60 cm, and between plants - 50 cm. Pepper grows better in places with diffused light. Water the plants regularly; in hot and dry weather, increase the number and volume of watering so that the leaves do not dry out.
For irrigation, warm water is used, which is pre-settled. Water the vegetable after sunset. After moistening, it is useful to loosen the soil to ensure the supply of oxygen to the root soil. During the process of growth and fruiting of pepper, fertilizing is required. The pepper is fed for the first time a few weeks after planting: superphosphate diluted in water is added to the roots in a ratio of 2:10. About 1 liter of fertilizer is consumed for 1 pepper bush.

The second time is fed during the flowering period: superphosphate is diluted in a ratio of 4:10 and 1 tsp is added. potassium sulfate.

The third feeding is done during the ripening period: add 2 tsp per 10 liters of water. superphosphate and potassium salt.

Important. Sweet peppers have fragile shoots that are easy to break. When planting, pegs 60 cm high are placed next to the seedlings to tie up the bushes when they get stronger and begin to rise.

Description of the variety

Pepper Denis F1 has been cultivated by gardeners for a long period. However, its official verification was delayed, so by the beginning of field work in 2022, the variety was not included in the State Register of the Russian Federation.

The peculiarity of the variety is that the height of the bushes in the greenhouse and in the open ground may differ. In protected beds, pepper stretches up to 1 m, under other conditions - up to 70 cm. The foliage of the plant is medium, the leaf blades are large, ovoid. The culture simultaneously produces 6–7 fruits.

As you can see in the photo, the ripened vegetable is ruby ​​red. However, at the stage of incomplete ripeness, its color is dark green. The format of the pepper is elongated, similar to a cylinder slightly narrowed at the bottom with irregularities on the sides. The walls of the fetus are thick - from 9 to 12 mm. The length and width parameters are 18 and 10 cm. The pepper weighs about 400 g.

Typical diseases and pests

Pepper Denis F1 is resistant to most diseases , in particular to tobacco mosaic.

Common diseases include fusarium and verticillium. With these diseases, the bush looks as if it lacks moisture. To prevent these diseases, Previkur is poured directly into the holes when planting. If the disease has already developed, the drug Trichodermin, which is used to treat the roots, is suitable for treatment.

The main pests of pepper are aphids, flea beetles and the Colorado potato beetle. The preparations “Tabu”, “Fufanon”, “Intavir”, “Commander”, “Aktara” are suitable for treatment against them. Folk remedies are also suitable for processing. An infusion of ash or tobacco with the addition of laundry soap will remove aphids and will not damage the crop.

Advantages and disadvantages

• The advantages of the Denis F1 variety are as follows:
• high productivity;
• resistance to diseases, especially to tobacco mosaic;
• early ripeness;
• juicy and elastic fruits, suitable for many dishes;
• Suitable for growing indoors and outdoors.

The disadvantages include the fact that hybrid varieties, which include our pepper, cannot reproduce. This means that every year you need to buy seeds again for seedlings. It is also impossible to get many large fruits at the same time. When growing, you have to choose either quantity or size.

Reviews

Summer residents love hybrid crops, but they are not always able to purchase really high-quality seed material.

Maria, Chaplygin : “I am a beginner amateur gardener. Last spring I tried growing peppers for the first time. My choice fell on Denis f1, since the seed store described it in the best way. I planted the seedlings in a greenhouse. The pepper did not disappoint me, it showed high germination and gave a good harvest, the fruits were large, as in the photo, and juicy. I’ll definitely buy these seeds next year.”

Alexey, Samara : “I’ve been growing this pepper for several years. The bush grows 0.8-1 m, the leaves are large, 6-7 fruits ripen on the plant, the color is red. I only grow it in a greenhouse. You can get fruits weighing 400 g, but for the normal formation of such peppers you will have to leave 3-4 pieces on the bush. I got Denis with a maximum of 320 g. I recommend the variety.”

Tatyana, Orlov : “I purchased Denis f1 pepper seeds, and they turned out to be fake. I did everything according to technology, but the seedlings did not sprout. Carefully examine the seeds before planting so as not to waste your time.”

Harvesting and application

Sweet peppers have two types of maturity: technical and biological. Depending on the purpose for which the crop was grown, the appropriate type is selected. Technical is understood as the state of a product when it can already be assembled for storage, transportation and subsequent sale. Vegetables store well and can wait for several months to be used in a cool cellar or refrigerator, gradually ripening.

Biological maturity is fully ripe fruits that have a rich color and pronounced taste. Usually, at this stage, the crop is harvested for oneself in order to immediately eat it or make preparations for the winter. Since the fruit pulp is very elastic, Denis peppers are suitable for preservation both as an independent dish and as ingredients in salads, borscht dressings, etc. They also make excellent aromatic lecho.

Important! Fruits at the stage of physiological maturity are not subject to long-term storage.

Denis F1 pepper is worth all the effort spent on it, since few can compare with this variety in terms of juiciness, elasticity, flavor and versatility of use. As a hybrid, the vegetable combines many useful characteristics: large fruit, high yield, early ripening and excellent taste. All these nuances will appear with the correct selection of soil and good care. But the result will not disappoint you.

Features of agricultural technology

When choosing a method for growing a hybrid, you should choose seedlings. Cultivation Basics:

• seeds are sown 70 - 80 days before the planned date of movement to a permanent place;
• before planting, seedlings are hardened for 7 - 10 days;
• pepper is cultivated in beds where sunlight is diffused;
• to irrigate the soil you need to take warm, settled water;
• feed the bushes at least 3 times at intervals of 2 – 3 weeks;
• The peppers are strengthened with supports and tied to trellises.

Landing

For peppers, choose a sunny bed. It should be located in the area after onions, garlic, legumes or grains, radishes, radishes, cabbage, zucchini, pumpkin, carrots. Beds after tomatoes, other peppers, eggplants, potatoes and cucumbers are undesirable, as this increases the risk of disease.

In the fall, the area is cleared of last year's tops, dug deep and fertilized: 5 kg of compost and a little mineral preparations for each square meter. If the acidity exceeds pH 7, add slaked lime, dolomite flour, chalk or wood ash.

Sowing of seeds begins two months before transplanting the seedlings. Treat the grains with a 1% potassium permanganate solution, soaking them for half an hour. Then rinse and keep in the stimulant solution.

You can use aloe juice, which has antiseptic and stimulating properties. The seeds are soaked in it for 12-24 hours.

Prepare nutritious soil from a mixture of peat, sand and garden soil. Fertilize it with mineral complexes and wood ash, and spill it with a dark pink solution of potassium permanganate for disinfection. The seeds are sown to a depth of 1 cm. They are watered, covered with film and kept warm. The optimal temperature for germination is +24-27 degrees, and for the development of seedlings after germination - +20-23.

Sprouted seedlings are opened and placed on the windowsill. They need lighting at least 12 hours a day. In phase 2, leaves are picked into peat or plastic cups.

2 weeks after picking, water the bushes with a weak solution of superphosphate or complex fertilizer. It is recommended to harden the seedlings 10-14 days before transplanting into the ground.

Placed according to a 60 by 40 cm pattern.
