Variety description: originator data

Sweet pepper Alyosha Popovich is a relatively old variety from domestic seed growers from the Semko company. It appeared in the collection of this brand and the State Register of the Russian Federation in the late 90s. Pepper is not a hybrid. Valued for its versatility. The crop is grown in all regions accessible to farming, in protected or open ground, on small household plots and larger farm plots.

The plant is characterized by tall growth and openwork. Covered with medium sized green leaves. Simultaneously forms and develops 4-5 peppers. The fruits are medium-sized, drooping, and have a long stalk. They have a smooth glossy surface.

The stage of full ripeness occurs after 120-125 days. By this time, the peppers turn from milky green to uniformly red, as in the photo. The thickness of the pericarp is 6-8 mm. There are 2-3 nests inside the fruit.

Attention! The taste of pepper is called good. The aroma is also pleasant, but very weak.

Landing

Seeds are sown 65-70 days before the planned date of planting in a permanent place. Bell peppers do not tolerate transplantation well, so the seeds are sown in a common box, but the seedlings are subsequently planted as early as possible in separate pots, where they will grow stronger and gain strength. Then they can be planted with a clod of earth, and the plants will not slow down their development.

Leaves before the first fork must be removed. Seedlings are kept at a temperature not lower than 17 degrees. Ideal parameters are 22-25 degrees. The soil should always be slightly moist, but not wet. Before planting the seedlings in a permanent place, they are hardened off.

A day before transplanting into open ground or a greenhouse, seedlings are sprayed with Epin solution.

Features of growing peppers, planting and care

We recommend sowing seeds for seedlings 65-75 days before the intended planting of plants in a permanent place. The optimal temperature for seed germination is 26-28°C.

When true leaves appear on the plants, they are transplanted into separate cups with a capacity of 0.3-0.5 liters.

Pepper does not like transplanting, so do not be surprised if after you have transplanted the seedlings into separate containers, they stop growing for a while. You can “smooth out” the stressful state a little by spraying the plants with Epin.

Planting dates and care features

Sweet pepper Alyoshka bears fruit best in central Russia, thanks to selection in the changeable weather conditions of the sharply continental climate that is characteristic of Altai. The vegetable is also good for the regions of the middle Urals and Siberia.

Regardless of the growing region, the variety requires planting seeds for seedlings in a warm room. Germination is activated when the air temperature is maintained at 27°C.

To obtain powerful, high-quality seedlings, seeds are placed in moist soil 60-70 days before the intended planting in a permanent place.

In temperate climates, seed is placed in containers starting in the second ten days of February. Depending on forecasts, sowing will be delayed until early March.

By May, the optimal period for planting seedlings in closed ground begins. Seedlings are planted in beds without shelter closer to the beginning of June.

After warm weather sets in, the strengthened seedlings can be moved to prepared soil.

Depending on the climate, planting is carried out in unprotected beds, in a polycarbonate or film greenhouse, or in a stationary greenhouse after replacing the soil.

Peppers from the first harvest ripen by July. Fruiting lasts about a month. For normal growth of Alyoshka pepper, it is necessary to water the plants 1-2 times a week, the volume of water depends on weather conditions.

Greenhouses and greenhouses need to be ventilated every day, preferably in sunny weather.

Pepper seedlings are planted in any type of soil according to a 40x30 cm or 45x40 cm pattern. No more than 5 bushes in a row are distributed per square meter of planting. However, maximum yield is achieved by reducing plants to 4 per square.

To obtain a good harvest, regular fertilizing is necessary. It is recommended to use drugs and products:

• Grow up;
• Novofert;
• Baby;
• infusions of biological fertilizers;
• organic solutions.

All fertilizers should be dissolved in water, and when watering, do not over-moisten the soil. Also, to increase the yield of bushes, it is worth plucking off the lower leaves of plants. The fruits look attractive after ripening and also retain their presentation for a long time. Vegetables are easy to store and transport over long distances.

Resistance to diseases and pests

Along with the resistance of the Alyoshka cultivar to temperature changes, endurance is observed in relation to crop diseases.

The manufacturer does not note specific immunity to diseases, but the variety can be protected during the sowing period. Seeds should first be disinfected by soaking in a solution of potassium permanganate. Before planting, the soil is calcined or disinfected with boiling water.

Without preliminary disinfection, as well as in the absence of proper care, plants are susceptible to fungal or viral infections, which can negatively affect the shape and taste of the fruit, as well as the quantity of the harvest.

Advantages and disadvantages

Numerous reviews about growing Alyoshka peppers allow us to determine the positive aspects of the variety:

• fruiting extended over time;
• multiplicity of bushes;
• long-term preservation of the presentation of peppers;
• unpretentiousness to growing conditions;
• resistance to environmental changes;
• versatility of use;
• excellent taste of fruits;
• productivity does not depend on external factors.

One of the disadvantages of Alyoshka is its accessibility to pests. Without preliminary preventive treatment, bushes are susceptible to insect attacks. To prevent infection, plants should be sprayed with mild insecticides. Preference should be given to drugs of biological origin.

In general, the susceptibility to insect attack is low, and the variety copes well with external threats.

Characteristics of the variety and description of the fruits

Alyoshka peppers appeared thanks to the breeding work of Russian authors - V.N. Dederko and S.V. Ugarova.

An early ripening vegetable begins to bear fruit quite quickly. The first fruits appear 90 or 100 days after sowing the seeds.

Description of the variety from the agricultural company:

1. Determination. Limits the growth of the bush to a level of half a meter from the ground.
2. The vegetable is grown through seedlings.
3. The flowers are of the female variety.
4. The standard type of growth allows you to grow the variety in open ground conditions, as well as in low greenhouses or simple greenhouses.

Alyosha fruits have distinctive features:

• cone shape;
• flattened blunt tip;
• length 120-150 mm;
• the weight of each vegetable is approximately 110 g;
• the presence of weakly defined longitudinal ribs;
• dense walls have a thickness of about 6 mm;
• the skin and pulp turn red when ripe;
• the taste is sweet.

The Alyoshka variety is valuable both for raw consumption and for canning. Thanks to its fleshy walls, it is ideal for stuffing.

Growing seedlings

Soil for sowing

The soil for sowing peppers should be moist and breathable, fertile and loose. Pepper loves good soil moisture and is very sensitive to overheating and drying out.

Sowing seeds

Seeds must be disinfected and soaked before planting. They can be disinfected in 1% potassium permanganate (dipped into the solution for 20-30 minutes, then rinsed thoroughly with water), hydrogen peroxide, aloe or solutions of biological products. After disinfection, to increase germination, the seeds can be soaked in water or some kind of stimulant. Sow the seeds in pre-prepared containers to a depth of 1 cm. Pepper seedlings sprout on days 5-15 at a temperature of 25°-28°C. Dry seeds take longer to germinate. At temperatures below 15°C, the seeds will not germinate at all.

Lighting

Pepper is a light-loving plant; pepper seedlings require additional lighting.

Hardening

2-3 weeks before planting, the seedlings are taken out onto the balcony, veranda, and the windows are opened slightly (without drafts) so that the seedlings get used to the low temperature. During hardening, monitor the weather conditions; you must not allow the pepper seedlings to be exposed to frost or low temperatures - for pepper this is below +13°C.

Good predecessors:

Beans Zucchini Cabbage Onion Carrots Cucumber Patisson Pumpkin Beans Siderates

Predecessors are bad:

Eggplant Potatoes Pepper Tomato Physalis

Planting scheme

Peppers are planted according to a 40x40 cm pattern. The planting depth is the height of the pot. Overgrown seedlings are planted obliquely, but the stem is not planted deep, because pepper does not form additional roots well.

Watering and humidity

Pepper loves good soil moisture and is very sensitive to overheating and drying out.

Agricultural technology

Planting seedlings (features)

When stable warm weather sets in (night temperatures do not fall below 10°C, and daytime temperatures are 15-17°C). You can start planting seedlings in the greenhouse. Humus is added at the rate of 8-10 kg per square meter, superphosphate and potassium sulfate at 30-40 g. per 1 square meter (fertilizers can be applied immediately before planting, 1 teaspoon in each hole).

Reviews from gardeners

Summer resident blogger from Crimea Tatyana Lozovaya showed a video of the pepper harvest Alyosha Popovich. The fruits fully corresponded to the declared qualities. The woman used them for fresh consumption. Irina from Togliatti and Ekaterina from Tula also praised Pepper in their reviews. Summer residents confirmed the thick-walled and juicy variety.

Varietal peppers will not please you with record yields. But its productivity is stable, and the fruits are of excellent quality. In addition to the seed producer, ordinary summer residents confirm this.

Features of agricultural technology: information from experts

It is recommended to sow seeds for seedlings 65-75 days before moving the seedlings to a permanent bed. Bell peppers are difficult to tolerate changes in environment, so during this operation and even when picking

young plants temporarily slow down their development. Place no more than 6 (greenhouse) or 8 (OG) bushes on the site. The table will help you understand the timing more accurately.
