Pepper Sankina Lyubov is one of the earliest hybrids. Fragrant peppers of this type are rich in vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and other vitamins, as well as microelements. The main advantages of the variety are a stable yield and excellent taste characteristics.

Characteristics of pepper variety Sankina Lyubov

Description of the variety

The F1 prefix shows that the Sankina Lyubov pepper is a hybrid.
Based on the speed of fruit formation, it is classified as early. The culture is medium-sized. When grown in open ground, it reaches a height of 70 cm, in a greenhouse - about 1 m. The bushes have a significant amount of slightly wrinkled foliage of moderate size. The fruits on the stems are located drooping.

The pepper is shaped like a cone with a truncated tip. Its color during incomplete ripeness is green; an absolutely ripe vegetable is deep red (see photo). The weight of the fruit ranges from 120 to 300 g. The length is more than 10 cm. Based on the volume of the pericarp, the pepper is defined as thick-walled. This indicator is 7 – 8 mm.

Reviews

Pepper Sankina Love F1 is offered by many online stores. When listing its properties, implementers rely on information announced by the seed originator himself. It is difficult to assess how much the manufacturer’s assurances correspond to the actual results, since farmers are in no hurry to leave their reviews about the hybrid. Good yield is evidenced by only one mention of the variety, in which a gardener from Troitsk wrote that the pepper bore fruit in 3 tiers.

Sankina Lyubov F1 was created by breeders who are well acquainted with the difficulties of cultivating heat-loving plants. This fact gives us confidence that this pepper really does not require special care and is not afraid of cold weather.

Characteristics of the variety

Pepper Sankina Lyubov is characterized by abundant ovary formation. This guarantees an early, abundant harvest even in open ground conditions in central Russia.

Description of the bush

The plant is medium spreading, compact, multi-leaved. The bush is medium-sized, 60-70 cm high (in greenhouse conditions, growth can be higher). Does not require staking, but if the harvest is abundant, the bushes will need support.

Features of the bushes:

• medium-sized, slightly wrinkled green leaves;
• drooping arrangement of fruits;
• yield up to 4.5 kg per m²;

The root system is well developed. This allows the plant to better absorb moisture from the deep layers of the soil, as well as minerals diluted in water. Since the roots are close to the surface, you need to be very careful to loosen the soil around the bush.

Description of the fruit

Sankina Lyubov is a first generation hybrid (F1), therefore it has high resistance to diseases.

But its seeds are not suitable for collection, because... do not guarantee the reproduction of the qualities of the parent plant.

The fruits meet the following characteristics:

• fetal weight 120-180 g (in some cases up to 250-300 g).
• shiny smooth surface;
• The color of the fruits when technically ripe is green; when fully ripe, the peppers acquire a bright red color.
• fruit shape in the form of a truncated cone;
• fleshy and juicy pulp;
• fragrant pepper aroma;
• wall thickness is about 7.5 - 8 mm;

The fruits of this variety do not lose their presentation during storage and are easy to transport. The hybrid is universal in use.

How to care for ground bush cucumbers

The methods of care also have their own characteristics. All care activities are traditional. But there are nuances in their execution.

Watering

If half a bucket of water is simply poured into the hole of a standard climbing cucumber as needed, then this will not work with watering bush cucumbers.

1. All cucumbers do not like waterlogging and react to it instantly with fungal and other diseases. But bush plants require more water than ordinary ones.
2. You need to water the bushes only with water heated in the sun or in the air (in summer) and settled.
3. You need to irrigate not only the ground around the bush, but also the leaf mass.

Therefore, the best way to water bush cucumbers is drip or sprinkling. In automatic mode, or manually from a watering can - at the discretion of the gardener, in hot weather - daily.

Feeding

Bush cucumbers need them no less than long-stemmed ones. Before sowing in the fall, humus must be added to the area with the future borage. If this does not happen, it is introduced into the planting holes in the spring.

During the growing season, fertilizing is carried out every two weeks. Nitrogen and mineral (potassium-containing) ones alternate. You can feed with complexes, but only if they do not contain sodium and chlorine.

Diseases and pests

Bush cucumbers have quite a lot of pests and diseases. It is not enough to monitor the plants to immediately notice signs of damage. Preventive preventive measures are necessary.

Powdery mildew

Spoils foliage and stems. Appears as a matte white spot. In climbing varieties, the lashes disappear. Bush ones have stems. Productivity is falling catastrophically.

This disease is a consequence of waterlogging, an abundance of weeds or dense planting. It also occurs if you water the bushes with cold water.

1. If signs are detected, you must immediately remove the affected parts and take them out of the garden.
2. Then, if the disease cannot be stopped, treatment is carried out with colloidal sulfur (30 g of powder per ten liters of water). This is a gentle option.
3. Stronger chemicals - Topaz, Oxychom.
4. If you don’t want to use chemicals, you can spray all the bushes completely with mullein solution.

Anthracnose

Yellow-brown spots on the leaves mean that the plants are infected with anthracnose. Soon the bushes will begin to die, and the fruits will shrink and fall off.

Treatment with Bordeaux mixture will help. It can be done every week, stopping a week before harvest.

Bleach is also used. But this suspension can be treated no later than three weeks before harvesting the fruits and no more often than every ten days.

Cladosporiosis

It affects fruits, forming small spots on them, first watery, then enlarging and hardening. The surface of the cucumber cracks and it takes on a deformed shape.

Bordeaux mixture will also help against this disease. It is also necessary to increase the dose of potassium sulfate in fertilizing.

Aphid

Its melon variety loves to destroy cucumbers, starting from the back of the leaf and right up to the ovary.

An eco-friendly way to remove a pest is a herbal tincture. Pour a kilogram of grass into a bucket of warm water, cover and leave for several days. The solution should ferment. Spray the bushes generously with it.

They also use ash and soap diluted with water: 200 g of ash, 50 g of soap, water - a bucket.

If it is impossible to remove aphids using gentle methods, you will have to use Inta-Vir.

Mite

For spider mites, everything is the same - flower plants or garden vegetables. It settles on the back side of the leaf and begins to damage it. It can destroy entire ridges, especially if it is hot.

You can remove the pest with an infusion of onion or garlic peels, 10 g of which are soaked in a glass of water. You need to spray frequently, up to five times.

Advantages and disadvantages

Evaluating the hybrid Sanka's love, gardeners almost unanimously come to the conclusion that this carrot consists of only advantages.

• Indeed, a hybrid is distinguished by:
• ultra-high yield;
• excellent taste characteristics;
• rich chemical composition with a very high content of sugar and carotene;
• universal purpose and the possibility of inclusion in children's and medical diets;
• unpretentiousness to soil composition;
• large root vegetables of regular shape and uniform size;
• frost resistance;
• lack of tendency to bolting, blooming, cracking;
• low losses during harvesting;
• good transportability;
• very long shelf life.

The hybrid has no objective disadvantages. We can say that carrots take quite a long time to ripen, but it is precisely this quality that provides root crops with good shelf life. In addition, any gardener must understand that high-yielding varieties and hybrids usually have higher requirements for the presence in the soil of all the nutrients necessary for their development and compliance with other agrotechnical conditions, without which you cannot count on the opportunity to enjoy all the above benefits.

Planting cucumbers Sankina's love

It is recommended to form superbunch hybrids using one stem. To create good lighting and nutrition for the fruits. To do this, 3-4 nodes are completely removed from below - flowers and stepsons. Only the main stem is left up to the trellis. One leaf is left at each internode, and a bunch of cucumbers is placed nearby. After the first crop ripens on the main stem, it is recommended to feed the plant with fertilizer containing nitrogen.

After this, new fruits will again grow in the axils of the leaves. But in our greenhouse, on the greenhouse, the plants will have enough nitrogen for the entire season.

Cucumber seedlings rarely need to be planted! No more than 2 plants per 1 sq. meter. It is necessary to water them generously with warm water and feed them once a week. Complex fertilizer “Zdraven Turbo” is recommended, but I have Urgas in stock for this.

With good agricultural technology, producers promise a yield of 40 kg per plant per season. This is 400 pieces of cucumbers.

Landing dates

Seedlings of the variety can be introduced into the soil as early as the end of April. Sanka's love seeds are planted almost a month earlier - in early April. The main thing is to carefully monitor the temperature. For optimal germination, this cucumber needs an air temperature of at least 21°-22°. The soil temperature should not be lower than 17°-18°.

Soil preparation

Sanka's love needs especially careful soil preparation. It is best to plant cucumbers in open areas warmed by the sun's rays - on a plain or a slight hill. Since autumn, the area under the variety has been dug up with a shovel, manured and garbage removed. In the spring, the soil is again fertilized with organic matter, deeply loosened, and holes are cut in the beds.

Growing a hybrid in seedlings

Sankina Lyubov cucumber seeds for seedlings should be planted about a month before the intended transplantation to a permanent place.

It is better to purchase soil for growing cucumber seedlings in gardening stores, where all the necessary components, including fertilizers, are added to it. In addition, such a soil mixture does not have to be disinfected before placing it in containers.

Cucumber seeds “Sanka's Love” are planted directly into separate cups for seedlings, since the root system of seedlings does not tolerate frequent transplants.

During the growing process, the seedlings are regularly watered, and during growth they are fed at least twice with organic fertilizers - a solution of mullein or bird droppings.

Before planting in a permanent place, the seedlings are hardened off, gradually accustoming them to fresh air.

Planting seeds in open ground

Cucumber seeds “Sanka’s Love” should be planted in the garden beds when the soil warms up to 15-16 degrees Celsius, and the average daily air temperature does not fall below 16-17 degrees. Depending on the climatic conditions of the growing regions, planting time can vary from the last ten days of May to the first ten days of June. Seeds can be planted in greenhouses or film greenhouses from late April to mid-May.

On a note!

In open ground, up to 5 cucumber plants “Sanka’s Love” can be planted on one square of area, and in greenhouse conditions - no more than 3 bushes of this cucumber.

Transplantation to a permanent place

The area for growing Sankina Love cucumbers should be well lit by sunlight and protected from strong drafts. This cucumber is not picky about the composition of the soil; the main thing is that its reaction is neutral or slightly acidic.

Advice!

Plants are transferred into prepared holes along with a lump of earth. This method of transplanting cucumber seedlings allows minimal trauma to the roots of the seedlings, as a result they take root faster in a new place and practically do not get sick. After replanting, you need to add at least 3 liters of water under each bush and mulch the soil with straw or humus.

Care

The plant needs to be looked after

The optimal age of seedlings of this variety for planting in the ground is 60 days from the appearance of the first shoots. Until it reaches 17-20 cm, the bush grows with one stem, later it begins to diverge into several branches. At the point of branching, the first flower (crown bud) is formed. For good plant development, it is recommended to remove this flower.

It is better to plant Sankina Lyubov pepper according to the 60*60 cm pattern (square-cluster planting pattern). The optimal time for open ground is June, for greenhouses - mid-May.

Before planting, it is recommended to add complex fertilizers, humus and peat to the soil for better development of the plant. The top of the ridge can be mulched. This helps retain moisture in the soil and helps control weeds.

Features of agricultural technology

Peppers should be cultivated using the seedling method. Preliminary preparation for working with a hybrid consists of germinating the seeds.

Attention! The original seed material is treated with special means, so it does not need to be further disinfected.

Agrotechnical rules:

• Before being transferred to the garden bed, seedlings are grown at home for 2 months;
• by the time of transplantation, the pepper should begin the budding phase;
• the crown bud of the plant should be removed;
• feed the pepper 3 times per season with mineral compounds;
• to eliminate the risk of stem breakage, the bushes are tied to a support;
• the soil is irrigated as it dries, avoiding excess moisture;
• When watering, avoid getting water on the leaves.

Diseases and pests

The hybrid's immunity protects it from diseases with proper care. Pepper is resistant to blossom end rot. If agricultural practices are violated, it is prone to blackleg, stolbur, and when there are temperature changes and night cold, it is prone to late blight.

Late blight is treated in the early stages by treating with a copper-containing fungicide or solutions of fermented milk products. Fungicides are also used against blackleg and watering is regulated - it should not be excessive. Stolbur, or phytoplasmosis, manifests itself in deformation of fruits and drying out of bushes. Hard fibers appear in the fruits, similar to wood, and such fruits are not suitable for food. The plants cannot be saved; they are destroyed, and the remaining ones are treated with fungicides or special preparations for prevention.

Pepper pests include the Colorado potato beetle, aphids, butterflies, slugs, and mole crickets. Insecticides are used against them, and after the formation of fruits, home remedies are used (a solution of soap, ash, a decoction of onion peels or celandine).

Tips for Growing Vegetables

• Choose quality seeds from trusted manufacturers. You can save on planting material, but you need to do it wisely.
• Vegetables bear fruit abundantly only on suitable soil. For example, cabbage may die next to tomatoes, but be healthy next to mint or thyme.
• Seedlings will be very lethargic if grown in the wrong container. A container that is too large or cramped, poorly drained, or simply of poor quality will kill or spoil the sprouts.
• Don't forget to prepare the seeds for planting. Often, pre-sowing treatment not only promotes proper germination, but also saves the entire garden from infections that may contain seeds.
• Another common mistake is failure to comply with the timing of sowing and planting seedlings, which affect the plant’s ability to take root and develop. You can use the lunar calendar or information about agricultural technology that the manufacturer indicates on the packaging.
