How to choose the best variety
Sooner or later, every farmer faces the choice of the best variety. Those who have been doing this for several years, of course, want to increase their successes and try something new. And beginners’ eyes simply run wild when they see the assortment of planting material on the shelves of shops and markets. Every year it becomes more and more, because selection does not stand still, developing new and better varieties of crops.
But why doesn’t the beautiful, seemingly thick-walled pepper, shown in the picture with seeds, grow on your site, and if it does produce a harvest, then in very small quantities? How to choose the best variety of thick-walled sweet pepper, and what nuances need to be taken into account when choosing?
Please note that the homeland of sweet peppers is the countries of Central America, so the culture loves warm air and warm soil. No matter how the planting material is adapted to the growing conditions in Russia, not every variety can produce a good, stable harvest in central Russia or Siberia. In these regions, gardeners prefer early-ripening and mid-ripening varieties of sweet peppers, and thick-walled ones are, as a rule, those whose growing season is 120 days or more.
Attention! In order for the variety of thick-walled sweet pepper to really give the desired result, do not ignore the peculiarities of its cultivation and nutrition.
Novice gardeners ask whether it is possible to grow thick-walled peppers in greenhouses and greenhouses. The answer to this question is clear: if you have such an opportunity, then this will be the best solution for obtaining high and high-quality yields. In a greenhouse, you can give the seedlings everything they need, from temperature control to minimizing the risk of sudden temperature drops in the air and on the soil.
Pay attention to hybrids of sweet thick-walled peppers. Dutch and Italian breeders today are making every effort to supply Russian markets with only high-quality planting material adapted to the local climate. In addition, when hybrids are bred, they receive the best quality characteristics from their “ancestors”, and their fruits are unusually beautiful and tasty.
Rules for growing pepper seedlings with thick walls
In terms of the basic methods of growing peppers with thick walls, there are no differences from ordinary varieties. Agricultural technology is standard, but we must remember that in order to obtain juicy fruits with the indicators indicated in the descriptions, it is necessary to provide the peppers with good care.
When the description contains information that a variety or hybrid of a crop is unpretentious, this does not mean that it requires a minimum of care. Even the most unpretentious and super-productive variety will not be able to please you if you forget about watering, fertilizing (especially for hybrids), and shaping.
ON A NOTE! The description of peppers always indicates the characteristics of the variety or hybrid. When growing, all these recommendations must be taken into account.
When growing crops directly in the beds, you need to control the weather and, if necessary, cover the plants with film or special materials. The preparation of the soil and seeds, as well as proper care throughout the growing season, is of great importance.
Sowing seeds
A peculiarity of growing sweet peppers in our Russian conditions is the presence of a seedling period. Since this crop has a fairly long ripening period (even early peppers), early sowing of seeds and growing seedlings first at home helps to create the necessary race in time.
Seeds of hybrid forms usually do not need preliminary preparation. There is also no need to process the seed material if the bags indicate that the peppers have already undergone the necessary procedures. For all other seeds, disinfection, soaking in growth stimulants, and germination are carried out.
Experienced gardeners already have an idea about the timing of sowing; they know and take into account the specific climate of the area, the timing of the ripening of peppers, and the weather.
IMPORTANT! Usually seeds are sown starting in mid-February. At the same time, do not forget that peppers often take a long time to sprout, so take the time limit.
To treat seeds, use potassium permanganate, keeping the seeds in it for no more than 20 minutes. The solution should be pink; after the procedure, the peppers are washed.
To speed up the germination of peppers, it is recommended to soak them in various special preparations. For this they usually use:
- Zircon;
- Epin.
Ash infusions are also used, and the ash is also used later to treat adult peppers against pests and for fertilizing. The seeds are hardened on a shelf in the refrigerator and germinated in a regular damp cloth.
There is nothing complicated here, such procedures take little time, but you will be confident that you will get healthier and higher quality seedlings.
Germination of seeds
For sowing, various containers are used - boxes, glasses, containers. When sowing in common containers, the seedlings will later need to be transplanted into separate containers, and this is very stressful for the peppers.
Lately, gardeners most often immediately sow peppers in separate cups, and then carry out the usual transfer of plants into larger pots.
The soil must be nutritious, loose, and of high quality. Using soil prepared in the fall, do not forget to steam it, then you can spill it with a solution of potassium permanganate. Ready-made soil mixtures are suitable, and the composition should contain the following components:
- Earth;
- peat;
- leavening agents (perlite, vermiculite, sand);
- humus.
Mixtures from the store consisting of only peat are not suitable for peppers. To such soil you need to add humus and soil (turf, leaf, sand).
Seeds are sown in small furrows (if sown in boxes), in holes (if sown directly in cups). They can withstand temperatures of +28ºC...+30ºC throughout the germination period; as soon as pepper sprouts appear, they are brought into the light and the temperatures are reduced to +18ºC. It will be enough to keep the seedlings in this mode for about 5-6 days, then raise it again to +23ºC...+25ºC.
This is done to prevent the pepper seedlings from stretching out. It is also important to provide the peppers with additional lighting.
Picking up seedlings
As soon as 2-3 true leaves appear on the peppers, a dive (transplant) will be required. You need to prepare in advance the containers where you will move the peppers.
Reception is carried out only if the seeds were sown in common boxes. In this case, the work must be carried out very carefully, without damaging the delicate roots of the plants.
After diving, the seedlings are shaded from the sun for about 2-3 days. At this time, the peppers will slow down in growth, will adapt to new conditions and this will take approximately 4-7 days.
Otherwise, care for thick-walled peppers is standard. Having mastered simple techniques and following the recommendations, you will always get a harvest of delicious fruits.
