- The fruits are smooth and have a shape convenient for chefs.
- The consumer purpose of vegetables is universal.
- Pepper does not belong to the class of hybrids, therefore its seeds retain the ability to produce a yield similar to the mother crop.

Features of cultivation and care
Vegetable growers in the middle zone sow seedlings from February 20 to March 10. By the time of planting in the ground, the plants should be 60-70 days old.
Plants are placed according to the following scheme: 50 cm (row spacing) by 35 cm (distance between bushes).
Sweet plants need moderate pinching: it is recommended to remove side shoots and yellowed leaves before the first fork. The crown flower, which forms in the fork, is also pinched.
Water sweetener with warm, settled water every 3-4 days, loosen the soil around the bushes and weed as needed. Experienced gardeners try to avoid the last two procedures, replacing them with one-time mulching of the soil.
During the season, peppers are fed up to 3 times with complex mineral fertilizers or organic matter.
Diseases and pests
In the description of the variety, producers do not indicate Slastena’s resistance to nightshade diseases. However, user reviews say that the cultivar rarely gets sick.
For preventive purposes, plant bushes are treated with biofungicides. The risk of developing diseases can be reduced by observing crop rotation. Also, peppers should not be placed next to cucumbers.
Plants need to be regularly inspected for the presence of pests, which are not only dangerous in themselves for the crop, but are also carriers of certain diseases. The fight against plant parasites is carried out using insecto-acaricidal drugs.
Features of agricultural technology
Slastena pepper needs to be grown in seedlings. Cultivation rules:
- seeds are germinated at temperatures from 24 to 27 degrees;
- from the moment the sprouts appear until the bushes are transplanted into the beds, 55–60 days should pass;
- when the length reaches 25 cm, the top of the crop is shortened;
- feed the pepper with mineral fertilizers once every 14–20 days;
- As an irrigation method, preference is given to drip irrigation.
Attention! Peppers are not recommended to be planted close to cucumbers, since such proximity increases the risk of scab disease in the crop.
