Growing sweet peppers

In the southern regions, it grows well in the open field, but in more northern latitudes, the greatest yield from pepper is obtained in greenhouse conditions. Sweet peppers have a herbaceous stem that grows stiff over time at the base. In places where the plant branches, single flowers appear.

Bell peppers are a self-pollinating crop, but sometimes insect pollinates. The planting of bell peppers should be located away from the beds with hot peppers, since their mutual cross-pollination can occur, which leads to the appearance of a bitter taste in the fruit.

Bell peppers differ from other crops by their rather long growing season. The best varieties of sweet peppers (according to summer residents) are early-maturing varieties, in which the technical ripeness in the closed ground occurs approximately 100 days after germination. That is why this culture, both in the middle latitudes and in the south, is grown through seedlings. At the same time, seeds of early thick-walled sweet pepper are sown in boxes with a fertile soil substrate in early February.

Bell peppers are a rather demanding and thermophilic culture. Its seeds germinate fastest at temperatures of 25–27 ° C. These plants thrive best at 20–23 ° C. It is noteworthy that when the ambient temperature drops to 13 ° C, the seedlings of sweet peppers and even adult plants stop growing.

When the first leaves appear, the seedlings dive according to the 6x6 or 7x7 cm scheme into boxes or 1 plant each into peat pots or plastic cups. Before planting in open ground, pepper seedlings are hardened for 7-10 days. It is best to plant plants with 7-9 formed leaves in a permanent place. Seedlings are planted in open ground only when the threat of spring frosts has passed, since it dies already at 0 ° C. Plants are planted in rows, the distance between which is 40-45 cm. The interval between the peppers should be 30-40 cm. It can be reduced when planting compact, undersized varieties.

The beds for sweet peppers are fertilized in the fall. To do this, add 4-5 kg ​​of rotted humus or vegetable compost per 1 sq. M. To the soil. plot or greenhouse. Into the soil, 20-30 g of complex mineral fertilizers are applied per 1 sq. M. Such soil fertilization can be carried out a few days before planting seedlings in the spring.

To obtain the highest yield possible, timely care of the plants and the creation of the most favorable conditions for them is required. Sweet peppers are planted in well-lit areas, sheltered from the wind. With a lack of light, the plants stretch out and shed flowers and ovaries. The soil for this type of pepper should be fertile, light and neutral in acidity. It must be constantly hydrated. The lack of moisture greatly inhibits the growth of plants, therefore, without regular watering, they become dwarf, and the fruits - small and ugly.

Bell peppers are sensitive to excess nitrogen. At the same time, the plants quickly develop a green mass, but at the same time the number of flowers and ovaries decreases.

In early August, the tops of the stems are pinched and all the buds and flowers that do not have time to ripen before the onset of autumn are removed. After 10-15 days, the operation is repeated. During the growing season, tall peppers are tied to stakes or trellises 2-3 times.

To feed sweet peppers, use diluted bird droppings or a mixture of mullein with superphosphate. You can also feed with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers.

During the growing season, it is necessary to regularly remove weeds and loosen the soil. Sweet peppers can be harvested unripe (at the stage of technical ripeness). In the phase of biological ripeness, they contain more sugar, but if you wait for the fruit to fully ripen on the bush, then the total yield will be much lower.
