Pepper Yellow Bull: reviews of who planted it about the yield, photos, characteristics and description of the sweet variety

Yellow bell pepper is especially popular among summer residents and vegetable growers due to not only its beautiful “sunny” color, but also its excellent taste. Ripe fruits with a golden color have a less rich taste, but contain more ascorbic acid and other valuable vitamin and mineral elements. Yellow bell pepper looks appetizing and original in fresh vegetable salads and other dishes, and is used for various preparations for the winter. That is why the best varieties of yellow peppers are not inferior in popularity to red fruits.

Description and characteristics of the variety

The Yellow Bull sweet pepper was bred in the Moscow region and included in the register in 2001. The hybrid is used in small-volume agriculture in an extended rotation - from the end of winter to the end of autumn.

According to the type of ripening, the Yellow Bull pepper is medium early. About 100 days pass from the appearance of the first true leaf to the first harvest of fruit. Plants are erect, tall, spreading, with large dark leaves. The fruits are arranged droopingly, in the shape of a prism, beautiful, bright yellow in biological ripeness, green in technical ripeness. The peduncle is deeply depressed.

The fruits are ribbed, with a smooth glossy surface. Average weight - 180 g, maximum - 200 g, wall thickness - about 8 mm. The taste is excellent, with a well-defined sweetness, but the aroma is weak.

Yellow Ox

Another type of variety with an average ripening period.
Large and beautiful fruits, reaching 200-300 g in weight. The bush is spreading, medium-sized. The species name of this variety speaks for itself. The fruits are yellow in full ripening.

They can be harvested at technical maturity, when they have gained the required weight of the fruit, but will be green in color. Fruits can set before the onset of cold weather.

They are well preserved and can be used in salads, frozen or when preparing for the winter. Every year, new varieties of pepper appear on sale, so you need to keep an eye on the new products.

Gardeners' advice: gardeners prefer to focus on hybrid varieties to get an excellent harvest.

Landing

Seeds for glass greenhouses are sown in early February and seedlings are grown with additional light. In early April, 60-day-old seedlings with the first flowers opening are planted in a heated greenhouse. Seeds must be sown in humus pots or peat tablets so that plant growth does not slow down when transplanted into a greenhouse.

The optimal temperature for keeping seedlings is 20–24 degrees.

Hybrid peppers require lower temperatures at all stages of cultivation than varietal peppers.

For transplantation to a permanent place per day, spray with Epin - 1 g per liter of water. The drug improves immunity, accelerates establishment, and makes plants more cold-resistant.

Features of agricultural technology

Seed preparation. The seedling method is used for planting the plant. Seeds are sown in March. Before planting, seed material must be prepared. To do this, the seeds need to be placed in damp gauze, and the temperature must be within 26 degrees. Within a week they will begin to hatch.
Soil preparation. To plant seeds, you need to prepare the soil. First you need to make a nutrient mixture: soil from the site, peat, humus, sawdust. Mix the mixture well and pour into plastic cups. In addition, peat pots are excellent for planting. If you don’t want to prepare the soil yourself, you can buy it at a specialized store.

For reference. The sawdust used to prepare the soil must be pre-treated with urea.

Growing and care

All stepsons are pinched up to the first flower cluster. The bush is formed into two stems, which are carefully tied to the trellis.

Planting pattern: in a row - 40 cm, row spacing - 80 cm.

For greenhouse peppers, correct formation is extremely important. Excess shoots are pinched or trimmed. It is necessary to remove the crown buds (flowers that form at the branching site of the main stem).

During the growing season, it is necessary to remove fruitless shoots under the branches of the main stem. In the interval from the ground to the first branching, you need to tear off all the leaves that interfere with pollination.

The fruits of the Yellow Ox are stored fresh for several months. They need to be wrapped in paper, then in a plastic bag, and placed in the refrigerator in the “zero” chamber.

Features of agricultural technology

The pepper variety “Red Bull F1” is grown using the seedling method. It is recommended to sow seeds for seedlings in March. They should first be germinated by placing them in a humid environment (wet cloth, gauze) with a temperature of +25-+270C. The seeds hatch after 5-10 days, after which they are sown. The soil for growing seedlings should be loose and nutritious. To create it, you can mix garden soil with peat, humus, and sawdust. If necessary, a ready-made soil composition can be purchased at a specialized store. Small plastic or peat pots can serve as containers for cultivating plants.

Important! Sawdust used to prepare fertile soil must be pre-treated with urea.

After germination, peppers should be placed in a less warm environment with a temperature of + 22-230C. At the same time, seedlings are demanding not only in terms of temperature, but also in light conditions. Therefore, experienced gardeners “illuminate” young plants with fluorescent lamps. The optimal duration of the photoperiod is 12 hours a day.

Watering young plants should be done regularly as the soil dries. It is recommended to fertilize every 2 weeks. As a fertilizer, you can use special complex compounds containing nitrogen and potassium.

You can grow Red Bull peppers in open and protected ground. At the same time, the use of a greenhouse or greenhouse allows you to speed up the fruiting process and increase crop yield. You can plant peppers in a greenhouse at the beginning of May; for open ground, the best time for planting plants is the beginning of June. The age of the seedlings at the time of picking should be 45-55 days.

The bushes of the hybrid "Red Bull" are vigorous and spreading. Their height reaches 1 m. Therefore, as soon as the young plants have taken root, they need to begin to form by pinching the crown of the upper shoot. During the growth process, small stepsons are removed from the bush, leaving 5-6 main fruit-bearing branches.

The soil around the perimeter of the trunk should be periodically weeded and loosened. It is imperative to remember that the roots of peppers are located in the top layer of soil at a depth of 5 cm from the surface of the earth. That is why deep loosening, which can damage the roots, should be avoided. Mulching loose soil will help prevent the active growth of weeds and excessive drying out of the soil.

Mass ripening of peppers of the “Red Bull” variety begins 110-125 days from the day of sowing the seeds for seedlings. In this case, you can try the first peppers a few weeks earlier.

Each plant of the “Red Bull” variety can produce from 20 to 30 large peppers simultaneously during the period of active fruiting, so the bush must be tied up. You can use a trellis for this.

Red Bull pepper receives numerous positive reviews from experienced farmers who revere this variety not only because of the excellent taste of large fruits, but also because of its high yield. So in open ground conditions you can get 7-9 kg of vegetables from 1 m2. When grown in a greenhouse or greenhouse, this figure can be increased to 12-15 kg/m2. Photos of the “Red Bull” pepper and reviews about it can be seen in the article below.

Important! Pepper variety "Red Bull" is indeterminate and produces fruits until the onset of cold weather.

Advantages and disadvantages

The description of the variety allows us to say that Red Bull has more advantages than disadvantages. These include:

increased resistance to major diseases;
large fleshy fruits;
excellent taste;
long fruiting period;
universal use of fruits;
Possibility of use in dietary nutrition;
high content of vitamins of groups B, C, PP, P.

Growing in Russia

Pepper can be planted in those regions of the country where in summer the air temperature reaches at least 15 degrees and daylight hours are at least 12 hours. If your region does not meet these requirements, you will have to use one of the additional measures:

build an awning to cover the plant at night to protect it from cold weather4
install lamps near the bushes;
place the plant in a greenhouse or greenhouse.

In any region of the country, pepper will develop well in a greenhouse, and the only thing it may need besides thermal air is ultraviolet lamps if it is constantly cloudy outside.

The soil of central Russia is suitable for planting seedlings. To make the bushes develop faster, it is recommended to add a little sand and organic fertilizers to the clay soil. In some regions where the soil is already sandy-clayey, this measure is not required.

Russian agricultural farmers, by properly caring for the plant, receive a large harvest - up to 20 kg per square meter.

Recommendations and tips

To successfully harvest the Bulgarian “giant”, gardeners are advised to follow some recommendations. They are as follows:

Pepper loves fertilized soil, loose, moisture-absorbing and free from diseases and various pathogens.
Regular watering of the plant will ensure good growth. Insufficient moisture inhibits the development of a young plant.
The optimal temperature for vegetables is plus 25 degrees. It grows well in the middle zone.
Before sowing, the seeds are treated with a two percent solution of potassium permanganate and washed with cold water. To speed up the germination of seeds, they are soaked in special nutrient mixtures.
During growth, you should ensure that excess nitrogen from fertilizer does not form under the bush, otherwise the plant will shed its ovaries.
During fruit formation, the plant needs to apply mineral fertilizers.
Don't forget about pests and diseases. Although peppers are resistant to various diseases, pests can be repelled by spraying with special solutions and using agrotechnical tricks.
Pepper is a hybrid. Its seeds are not suitable for secondary planting.
Fruits must be collected at the stage of technical ripeness. The fruits ripen during storage. Otherwise, it is difficult for the bushes to withstand heavy loads, and they break.

To sow bell peppers, you must use seeds from proven sources. High-quality planting material is the key to a good harvest. They should be purchased in specialized stores. The Bulgarian beauty Red Bull is a popular variety among gardeners. The vegetable is completely unpretentious, its yield is at the highest level, and its taste characteristics are simply excellent. The culture is rich in vitamins and microelements necessary for humans. Eating it raw improves the general condition of the body and stabilizes the functioning of the digestive system.

Agrotechnical features

The Bulgarian giant variety is grown by seedlings in containers, open or protected greenhouses. Agricultural technology in containers is as follows:

Before sowing, the seeds should be placed in a damp cloth at a temperature of + 27 degrees. After 5-10 days, the grains begin to hatch.
The required container is selected, into which nutritious loose soil is poured. The soil mixture can consist of garden soil, sawdust and humus.
Planting material is sown in moist soil, covered with glass or film until the first leaves appear.
When the seedlings begin to sprout, the container is opened and placed on the window.

Further care involves regular watering and periodic thinning to give more space to strong young plants. Fertilizing is required - complex special formulations containing potassium and nitrogen can be used as fertilizers. Growing peppers in greenhouses simplifies the process and increases crop yield. It begins to bear fruit 110-115 days after planting the seeds. At the same time, the bushes produce about 30 large peppers, and from one you can collect over 10 huge fruits. During the formation and ripening of fruits, the branches of the plant must be tied up.

Fruit characteristics

Sweet bell peppers are part of everyone's diet. Even people prone to allergies can eat these vegetables, but only with yellow or orange skin. Today we will introduce you to just such a variety. He has proven himself and always shows excellent results. We will talk about the “Bychok” pepper, let’s get to know it based on the characteristics and description of the variety, reviews from summer residents, and look at the photos. In the section on growing and care, you will learn all the main secrets of getting a good harvest.

general information

The variety was bred in our country and is included in the State Register. It is quite popular as it shows good results in greenhouses and outdoors. Growing involves some nuances, but they are all easily doable. Summer residents appreciate Bychok for its taste, productivity, and versatility.

The fruits, as can be seen in the photo, are orange in color. These varieties of pepper have a richer vitamin composition than red varieties. The latter can cause allergies in some people. This does not happen with yellow-orange vegetables. The variety can be consumed during a diet, in the postoperative period, and given to young children. “Bychok” is perfectly stored and can be kept in the freezer all year round; it can also be dried and used as a seasoning.

Distinctive features

Gardeners who are attracted to large peppers often pay attention to the Red Bull hybrid. It not only looks attractive in the garden, surprising many with its size, but also has excellent taste characteristics. Reviews from summer residents confirm that caring for the Red Bull is easy.

Description

Many home garden owners are afraid to buy seeds of large peppers, worrying about possible difficulties during care. The Red Bull pepper differs from many types in that almost no one has any difficulties growing it.

Red Bull pepper bears fruit when grown in greenhouse conditions and in unprotected soil. But without film coverings it is better to grow it only in the southern regions. Agronomists recommend planting seedlings in the ground; according to experts, this way you can get the maximum yield.

The hybrid is tall. Plants grow up to 1.5 m in height and must be tied up. After all, under the weight of heavy large fruits, they can break or fall.

Description of the Red Bull pepper:

the yield per 1 m2 reaches 9 kg;
early-middle period of maturation;
fruits set even in winter greenhouses in low light conditions;
genetic resistance to potato virus and tobacco mosaic virus;
The foliage is lush and dark green.

From the moment mass seed sprouts appear to technically ripe fruits, at least 95 days pass. It takes longer to fully ripen, but experts advise picking the fruits without waiting for them to turn red.

By the time they reach biological maturity, there is a risk that the plants will not support the weight of the Red Bull peppers. Reviews with photos confirm that the collected green fruits acquire a rich red color within 4-5 days of storage.

After looking at the photo of the Red Bull pepper and reading reviews about the hybrid, many summer residents cannot wait for the moment when their fruits are fully formed.

pepper length is 20 cm (some specimens grow up to 30 cm);
weight 200-250 g (reviews confirm that if agrotechnical conditions are observed, you can get fruits weighing up to 400 g);
color rich bright red;
glossy surface;
the peel is tender, thin;
the pulp is aromatic, dense, juicy;
walls 10 mm thick;
cube-shaped;
in the internal cavity there are 3-4 chambers;
the number of seeds is small.

This description attracts many summer residents who like to see interesting large-fruited peppers in their garden beds.

Red bull can be consumed fresh; it is also used for freezing, heat treatment, and canning. It is suitable for inclusion in the diet of young children and people with diabetes. Pepper is considered a storehouse of vitamins B, C, PP and minerals.

Seedlings from seeds

You can get the maximum yield if you comply with the established agrotechnical growing conditions. It is best to sow Red Bull F1 pepper seeds for seedlings in March.

Disinfecting seeds in potassium permanganate helps prevent possible bacterial and viral infections. You should make a 2% solution and soak the seeds for 20 minutes. After disinfection, they are washed with cold water.

You can ensure 100% germination if you pre-germinate the seeds. To do this, they are placed in a damp cloth or gauze for 3-5 days and wrapped in polyethylene to retain moisture. The optimal temperature for germination is 24-27 0 C.

Seeds are sown in nutritious loose soil. You can make it yourself by mixing ordinary garden soil with sawdust, humus and peat. But sawdust should be pre-treated with urea. You can buy soil suitable for growing seeds in the store.

After emergence of seedlings, the temperature is lowered to 20 0 C for 2-3 days. Then it is raised again to 22-25 0 C. Using artificial intense light, it is necessary to provide the seedlings with 12 hours of daylight. After the specified period of time, the seedlings are covered with light-impervious material. Excessive illumination leads to stretching of seedlings and reduced yield.

For the full development of seedlings, fertilizing is required. Plants should be fertilized every 2 weeks. Nitrogen and potassium complexes are used. Agronomists recommend spraying plants with Epin solution once every 10 days. It prevents possible problems due to low light. Potassium guamate, a root formation stimulator, is also used: for watering, a solution is made of 25 ml of concentrate and 10 liters of water.

When growing Red Bull pepper seedlings, it is recommended to immediately sow the seeds in individual containers. The plant does not tolerate picking well, because the root system of peppers does not recover well. The absence of picking allows you to reduce the time of growing seedlings by 15 days.

Pepper cultivation

The grown plants are transplanted into the ground at the age of 50-65 days. They are planted in greenhouses and under film shelters in May. The timing of transplantation into open ground depends on the growing region. The optimal period is early June, but Red Bull peppers in the south can be grown in unprotected soil from mid-May. A prerequisite is the absence of frost and warming of the soil to 15 0 C at a depth of 10 cm.

The survival rate of seedlings can be improved by abundantly watering the holes with hot water. When replanting, care must be taken to ensure that the root system is not damaged. Therefore, experts advise transshipment of plants: they are planted in holes along with the soil in which they grew.

You can adjust the height of plants by pinching the top of the top shoot. The bushes of the Red Bull hybrid are large and spreading. To ensure that plants have the strength to form large fruits, it is advisable to limit their growth. You can increase the yield and size of peppers by pinching the plants. You need to leave 5-6 branches that will bear fruit. The remaining shoots are removed.

Plant feeding is mandatory. During the entire growing period, after moving the seedlings into the ground, this is done 3-4 times. Add superphosphate, wood ash, and potassium chloride. During the period of fruit formation, a solution of bird droppings and mullein is used. At the beginning of fruiting, you can add ammonium nitrate.

One of the mandatory conditions for growing is periodic weeding and loosening of the soil. It should be remembered that plant roots are close to the surface, so deep loosening is undesirable. If you dig deeper into the soil than 5 cm, you can damage them.

Mulching allows you to prevent the appearance of weeds, rapid drying out of the soil and avoid the need for constant loosening of the soil. Straw, sawdust, and seed husks are laid out around the bushes.

You can learn about the peculiarities of growing Red Bull pepper from the description of the variety. It says that with active fruiting, more than 20 large fruits can form on each bush at the same time. Therefore, gartering bushes is mandatory. The easiest way to do this is to use a trellis.

In greenhouses, with timely fertilizing, ventilation and compliance with the thermal regime, the harvest reaches 12 kg per square meter, some manage to harvest even 15 kg. But you can’t count on a record harvest if nightshade crops (potatoes, eggplants, tomatoes) grew in the soil in front of the peppers.

The main requirement is a sufficient amount of light and heat. Lack of light for seedlings leads to weak flowering and poor fruit set, and the stems become fragile. As a result, we get very low yields.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with Cold muer mushroom appetizer (with video)

To fully develop, pepper seedlings need to receive light for about 12 hours a day.

The “Yellow Bull” pepper is very heat-loving and can also tolerate heat above 30°C, but it will only grow stunted and the flowers will not be pollinated and will fall out. And if some fruits set, they will be small and curved. Optimal temperatures:

20-25°C - for seedlings.
17-22°C - for an adult plant.

Pepper needs watering infrequently, but should be plentiful. It consumes the most water during fruiting, which is practically the entire life cycle. Drying out the soil even for a short time leads to the falling of buds and a decrease in yield.

Among soils, pepper prefers black soil with a good humus content. It improves fruiting after organic fertilizing and foliar fertilizing with microfertilizers. But excess nitrogen in the soil only leads to an increase in the vegetative mass of the plant and to a deterioration in the quality of the fruit.

"Yellow Bull" is a hybrid. It was obtained by domestic breeders by crossing two varieties of pepper. The “calling card” of the variety is considered to be a huge fruit: the length of the vegetable reaches 20 cm, in cross section the diameter is 8 cm. The pulp of the “Yellow Bull” is very thick - 10 mm. The average weight of a vegetable varies from 200 to 250 g.

Particularly large fruits can weigh up to 400 g. Their skin is thin, delicate, and the surface is glossy. The vegetable has the shape of a truncated cone, with three to four clearly defined edges and a depressed stalk. During the growth period, the fruits are colored green, and upon reaching technical ripeness their color becomes golden yellow.

How to improve your harvest

In order to protect the crop from certain diseases, as well as increase productivity, follow these rules:

Before planting seeds in the ground, they should be sprinkled with a 2% solution of potassium permanganate, which has bactericidal properties. This procedure helps protect plants from viral and fungal infections. The solution must be warm. After irrigation, rinse the seeds with cold water.
In order for the seeds to germinate faster, they must be placed in a damp scarf soaked in a heated nutrient solution and stored in a plastic bag where the seeds will dry.
It is best to keep seedlings at room temperature (22-240C).

It is best to sow seeds for seedlings from late February to early March. Seeds for seedlings germinate on the fifth to seventh day.

You should plant them in separate pots no earlier than 1-2 true leaves appear. After the seedlings are transplanted into open ground, side shoots and leaves should be removed and the bush itself should be tied up.

Seedlings should be planted to a depth of 2-4 cm (about half a finger deep) with a distance between seedlings of 20-40 cm.

Already 95 days after germination, you will receive the first desired fruits of the “Red Bull”. The fruits are harvested in July - September of the same year.

Advice! “Red Bull,” as mentioned above, produces a very large harvest: 7-9 kg of fruit from one meter square of land. Given this fact, it is recommended to collect the fruits at the ripening stage, when they have already acquired their final shape and size, but still have a light green color. Don't worry! The fruits of the "Red Bull" are stored for a long period and can ripen at home - on the windowsill or near the window

In this case, it is important that the pepper receives enough light.

Diseases and pests

In the description of the variety, the originator indicates that Orange Bull is not susceptible to the tobacco mosaic virus. Other diseases require preventive treatments with biofungicides.

To prevent the development of blossom end rot, which is often found in greenhouses, it is necessary to apply calcium supplements during the period of fruit set and maintain optimal temperature and humidity in closed structures.

Additionally, as a preventive measure, it is necessary to observe crop rotation, i.e. do not plant peppers after nightshades, and do not place the crop close to cucumber.
