Ural thick-walled pepper is a hybrid variety that has a thick pericarp. It has a sweet taste and resistance to changing weather conditions.

Description of the Ural thick-walled pepper variety

Description and characteristics of the variety

Ural thick-walled F1 belongs to tall plants. In unprotected beds, the height of the bush reaches 80 cm. In greenhouses, the central stem can stretch more than a meter. This indicates that the pepper requires obligatory garter to the supports.

The description of the hybrid variety states that the plant produces large, thick-walled fruits. The weight of the largest specimens reaches 400 grams, the length is up to 16 cm. The thickness of the pericarp walls reaches 10 mm.

The fruits are green when technically ripe, the color changes to dark red when they are fully ripe (see photo). Ripe peppers have good taste and are very juicy.

The fruits reach the technical ripeness phase after the beginning of the growing season after 100-110 days.

In cooking, Ural thick-walled has a universal purpose. It is added to fresh salads, canned, frozen, and used for preparing first and second courses.

In the characteristics of the variety, the manufacturer notes the good keeping quality and transportability of the fruit, which is also confirmed by consumer reviews.

Reviews

Information about the hybrid can be read in many professional reviews of successful thick-walled varieties. Ordinary gardeners leave the following reviews about it:

• Peppers have a thick wall, are stored for a long time, and their yield is excellent. The bushes are long, strong, but without a garter they bend to the ground due to the large fruits - gardener Olga.
• The pepper is very large - summer resident Elena.
• The variety has impeccable productivity, is not afraid of diseases, and its pulp is tasty - gardener Ksenia.

Ural thick-walled F1 is a sweet pepper worthy of farmers' attention. It has juicy and bright fruits. The culture does not suffer from many unfavorable factors.

Planting dates and care

For the middle zone, the recommended time for sowing seeds for seedlings is the last ten days of February or the beginning of March. Picking of seedlings is carried out when 1 or 2 true leaves are formed.

At home, it is recommended to feed seedlings 2-3 times with complex mineral fertilizer.

Plants can be planted in a greenhouse or under temporary film covers as early as mid-May. If the peppers grow in unprotected soil, the seedlings are moved to a permanent place in early June. Bushes are planted according to a 40 by 60 cm pattern.

To obtain a good harvest, the crop is provided with proper care. Plants need:

• watering every 3-4 days;
• loosening, weeding or mulching the soil;
• 2-3 fertilizing with organic matter or mineral fertilizers per season;
• moderate pinching with removal of side branches up to the first fork;
• tying bushes to supports or trellis.

The hybrid is considered unpretentious in care and stress-resistant, therefore, even with small errors in agricultural technology, it shows high yields. From 1 sq. m. Ural thick-walled pepper F1 brings up to 10 kg. vegetables

Pests and diseases

If the plant is poorly cared for, external deterioration may occur. A weak plant is most susceptible to pests.

The main ailments for a hybrid plant are:

• Phytoplasmosis (stolbur). Appears from the top of the shoots. The leaves curl and dry out. Transition to the entire plant is possible.
• Late blight. Starting from the leaves, the vegetable bush acquires a brown color, and over time it becomes covered with dark spots.
• Blackleg. It affects seedlings and vegetable seeds. Its sign is a dark stem that rots and dries out.
• Fusarium. The disease cannot be cured - the bush is dug up. The leaves turn yellow, the vessels in the stem become clogged.
• Verticillium. Its signs are pale leaves, a decrease in the number of fruits, and deformation of the peppers. It also cannot be treated; the bushes are destroyed.
• Spotted wilt. The leaves turn purple-bronze. When the condition worsens, the fruits fall off with spots in the form of multi-colored rings.

Before using preventive methods, you need to carefully examine the bush or fruit. Daily inspection is recommended for timely prevention. To prevent or control diseases:

• use “Topsin-M” 0.2% and “Fundazol”, which prevent the development of fusarium;
• treat the soil with a solution of vitriol (1 tbsp of copper sulfate is diluted in 10 liters of water);
• for leaf mold, spray the bush with fungicides “Barrier” and “Zaslon”;
• against blossom end rot of pepper, calcinite 3 or calcium nitrate is added 3 times per season.

Sometimes the leaves are sprayed with Vuksal. Incurable bushes must be burned or thrown away to protect the rest of the crop. After removing the infected plants, the remaining ones must be treated with Fitosporin.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of the Ural thick-walled hybrid include the following characteristics:

• high resistance to nightshade diseases;
• good yield even in open beds;
• decent taste for early ripening peppers;
• fruits are stored fresh for a long time and tolerate transportation well;
• the possibility of universal use of fruits in cooking;
• can be grown both outdoors and in greenhouse structures;
• the fruits are able to fully ripen on the bushes even in regions with cold climates.

The main disadvantage of all tall peppers is the obligatory tying of bushes to supports. Plants of this hybrid can fall not only due to their growth, but also under the weight of the fruit.

Peculiarities

The main difference between this category of peppers is the thick pericarp (pericarp). This part of the vegetable is eaten. The larger the pod wall, the higher the demand for a particular variety. Peppers with walls of 6 cm or more are classified as thick-walled.

Gardeners are interested, first of all, in the best varieties of large peppers for open areas. Note that not all of the most resistant hybrids produce the declared yield if they were bred in the south and planted in central Russia. So, when buying seeds, you need to look at the region in which they were collected.

When choosing a variety, you need to decide where it will grow: in the garden, greenhouse, film shelter. There are universal options suitable for any conditions, but in greenhouses they give the best harvest.

Let's talk about the most famous and useful varieties of thick-walled peppers.

Similar varieties

On sale you can find various hybrids and varieties of thick-walled peppers, which are in no way inferior in characteristics to the Ural thick-walled pepper. The following varieties deserve attention:

• Fat Baron;
• Big Boy;
• Siberian format.

Thick Baron is suitable for cultivation in any conditions. Fruiting occurs on average 100 days after planting the seeds. The plant is tall, reaching 1.2 m in greenhouse growing conditions. The large-fruited variety produces bright red peppers weighing up to 0.5 kg, up to 18 cm in size with a wall thickness of 0.8 cm. m. harvest from 7 kg to 14 kg of crop (depending on the planting scheme and cultivation conditions). The culture is resistant to tobacco mosaic virus.

Big Boy pepper is a good, thick-walled variety produced by the Aelita agricultural company, included in the State Register of the Russian Federation. The bush produces large, thick-walled red fruits when fully ripe. Peppers have a rectangular shape, the largest ones gain weight up to 300 grams, the thickness of the pericarp walls reaches 8 mm. From 1 sq. m. get up to 8 kg of vegetables. The variety begins to bear fruit after emergence after 115 days.

The Siberian format is intended for regions with risky farming. The new product from Siberian breeders shows high yields in any cultivation conditions. Up to 3.5 kg of fruits are obtained from the bush. One plant produces up to 15 large red peppers, the weight of which can reach half a kilo. The fruits have a cube-shaped shape, good taste and peppery aroma. The bushes of the plant are tall, about 0.8 m. The pepper is mid-season.

The listed varieties have established themselves as one of the best among thick-walled, large-fruited peppers.

Algorithm for obtaining high yield

Varieties of sweet peppers have the same growing rules. Tall pepper bushes must be tied up. Plants sensitive to temperature changes are planted on covered ridges (greenhouses, greenhouses). Most sweet peppers are propagated by seedlings. The possibility of planting seeds in the ground is indicated on the bag of seeds.

Attention! Sweet and spicy varieties are grown at a distance from each other to avoid cross-pollination. Steps that must be taken to harvest a rich harvest of sweet, large-fruited, fleshy peppers in the fall

Steps that need to be taken in order to harvest a rich harvest of sweet, large-fruited, fleshy peppers in the fall.

• Assess site conditions. Presence/absence of a greenhouse or greenhouse; climate zone; weather; soil quality.
• Purchase seed material of the desired varieties that correspond to the parameters of large-fruited and thick-walled peppers suitable for the conditions of the site.
• In February, sow seeds in boxes with fertile soil to obtain healthy seedlings. Cover containers with film or glass.
• During seedling growth, maintain the heat in the room at least 23 degrees. At the first shoots, the glass should be removed.
• Seedlings should be planted into separate pots if they have two true leaves.
• Feed the seedlings with a complex of fertilizers with phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen 1-2 times.
• In mid-May, the seedlings are taken out into the fresh air for hardening before planting.
• The soil is prepared for peppers in autumn and spring. They dig it up and fertilize it. The task is to make the soil light, drained, fertile with neutral acidity. Last summer, nightshade crops should not have grown on the beds in the selected area: potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants.
• All pepper varieties are planted in soil that has warmed up to at least 16 degrees. By this time, all spring frosts should end.

Attention! High ridges will warm up faster, which will provide greater comfort to bushes of thick-walled, large-fruited peppers.

• The planting scheme recommended by experts is indicated on the seed packaging. Low-growing varieties bear fruit when plantings are highly dense. Tall ones are planted with a maximum number of 2-3 plants per square meter. Classic intervals – 50X30 cm, 50X50 cm.
• Some types of large-fruited sweet peppers produce many shoots and side shoots, which should be eliminated from the bushes in a timely manner. The plant's energy will be used for large, fleshy fruits.
• Sweet peppers are fed twice a season: before active flowering and during fruiting.

Attention! Large-fruited, thick-walled peppers need nutritional support more often. They are fed up to 5 times per season

Nitrogen fertilizers increase green mass; they should be applied in doses.

• In mid-August, the color and small ovaries that appeared last are removed from large-fruited, thick-walled varieties. They will not have time to ripen, and the bushes will weaken.
• Fruiting can be increased by collecting large fruits at the technical stage of ripeness. Sweet peppers of large-fruited, thick-walled varieties ripen well outside the bush without losing the quality of the product, in boxes lined with paper. They need 15-20 days to achieve biological ripeness.
• The volume of moisture for large-fruited thick representatives of sweet peppers should be slightly higher than for other varieties. The level of moisture in the soil will be maintained by mulching the root zone of the bushes with sawdust, cut grass, and straw. After each watering, loosening is carried out.
• Thick-walled large fruits need plenty of sunlight. For this purpose, the crown is thinned out or additional lighting is installed in greenhouses.
• For preventive purposes, pepper plantings are treated against garden pests and diseases.
• Weed removal is carried out throughout the season as needed.

Advice! The weeds are infused with water for about two weeks in direct sunlight and a valuable “green” fertilizer for peppers is obtained.

Long-term storage of thick-walled, large-fruited peppers is possible in rooms no higher than 10 degrees with a humidity of 90%. Vitamins and minerals will be completely preserved inside large juicy fruits. Fleshy large-fruited vegetables are used for processing: lecho, pastes, pickling, pickling.

Large fruits of thick-walled varieties are fragrant and have excellent taste. One juicy vegetable contains a daily dose of vitamins and minerals for the body.

Large-fruited fruits are those that are more than 12 cm long and weigh more than 200 grams. The thick-walled group includes peppers with a pericarp (wall thickness) of more than 6-8 mm. The yield of sweet peppers with red, yellow, juicy large fruits averages from 5 to 8 kg per bush.

Overview by ripening period

According to the ripening period, all varieties of pepper are divided into several groups:

• early and early ripening varieties ripen 90–110 days after sowing;
• mid-season ripen 110 – 130 days after sowing;
• late ripening – ripening period over 130 days after sowing.

Early and early ripening varieties of thick-walled pepper include:

• Good guy . Ripens at 95 days.
• Pinocchio . Ripens at 90 days.
• Chocolate handsome man . Ripens at 95 days.
• Early bird . Ripening at 90 days.
• Sturdy . Ripening at 105 days.

Mid-season varieties include:

• Hercules. Large-fruited cube-shaped pepper.
• Gift from Moldova.
• Golden Rain.
• Martin.
• Volzhanin.

The optimal solution for gardeners is to grow several varieties of peppers with different ripening periods and have fresh peppers from your garden until frost (we talked in detail about the secrets of growing peppers in the garden and in the greenhouse in a separate article).

How to plant crops in open ground?

From the moment of seed germination to the formation of fruits, approximately 110-125 days pass. The temperature during this period should not be lower than +20 degrees, so thick-walled peppers may not grow in all areas of the country. Summer lasts long only in the southern regions; the vegetable needs sunlight.

The most suitable temperature for the plant: 26-30 degrees. At +15, some varieties stop developing.

There is only one way out of the situation: divide the cultivation of pepper into 3 stages:

• selection and sowing of planting material;
• keeping seedlings at home;
• placing young plants in open ground

This method is called seedling and is used in different Russian regions.
