Conclusion

Bell pepper is an unusually healthy, tasty and beautiful vegetable. It is grown in regions with different climatic conditions - Siberia, Moscow region, Donbass, Crimea and others. Thanks to the bright variety of colors and juicy fresh taste, it will always find a place on the festive table. And in terms of filling with vitamins, pepper is the leader among other vegetables. By eating just one pepper a day, you can replenish your daily supply of vitamins C and E. Bell peppers are called "the vegetable of beauty", because eating it improves the skin and strengthens the hair. Pepper is also good for the eyes, due to the high content of beta-carotene.

From time immemorial, mankind began to cultivate land in order to receive the rich gifts of the land. Vegetables, fruits, cereals - all these products have become an integral part of the diet of any person.

Among vegetable crops, sweet peppers or bulgarian peppers occupy a particularly important place. It is interesting that bell peppers are called mainly in Russia. In other countries, it is known as paprika or bell peppers. This is due to the fact that after the "migration" of culture from Central America to Europe, and then to Bulgaria, sweet peppers found a "second wind" in the form of new varieties. Scientists of this country began to actively engage in selective breeding of the plant and bred the best varieties of sweet peppers, which were appreciated by the inhabitants of the Russian state at the very beginning of the 20th century, and then switched to bulk purchases of vegetables in Bulgaria. Since then, on the territory of Russia, all varieties of capsicum sweet pepper are called Bulgarian.

Varieties of sweet peppers

At the moment, a huge variety of pepper varieties have been bred. There are a large number of criteria that affect the selection of planting material, for example, for greenhouses. Seeds of the best varieties of sweet peppers should be selected with the following characteristics in mind.

Ripening terms

The timing of fruit ripening is the most important indicator, therefore, when choosing seeds, you need to pay attention to it first. In the northern regions, where summer is short, bell peppers may not ripen, and the effort will be in vain.

For example, residents of the Moscow region have already identified the most suitable varieties for themselves. The answer to a common question: what are the best varieties of sweet pepper for the Moscow region - reviews of people who have tested in practice the suitability of certain varieties of vegetables for greenhouse cultivation in this region. The most popular varieties are Dobrynya, Aries, Mercury F1. Farmers assessed their early maturity (90-95 days) and yield (12-14 kg / sq. M.). The best varieties of sweet peppers for a greenhouse near Moscow: Bagration, Nochka F1, Alyonushka, Orange King, Cardinal, Latino F1.

The best varieties of sweet peppers for the Moscow region, suitable for cultivation "under the open sky", have also been identified: Atlantic, Gogoshary, Golden Taurus.All three varieties have in common that they belong to medium early varieties, can be grown without a film cover, and give a good harvest.

The most urgent issue is the early ripening of fruits for residents of the northern parts of Russia, for example, for the Urals. The most suitable varieties of sweet peppers for the Urals: Montero, Pioneer, Kupets, Bogatyr, Red (or Yellow) Bull, Winnie the Pooh. All of them are the best varieties of sweet peppers for the Urals for the winter, since they are ranked among the early-maturing and mid-early varieties, they give a good harvest in unheated greenhouses, as well as outdoors under a film.

Pepper ripening time: early, medium, late

Early peppers are considered if the time from the moment the plant sprouts to the first fruit is about 80 days (maximum - 100).

Medium sweet peppers. A medium-ripening plant will give fruit on the 115-130th day.

If the bell pepper belongs to the late varieties, then the ripening process will take up to 140 days.

Fruit color

It would seem, why pay attention to the color of the pepper? After all, the color of the fruit only adds decorativeness to a particular variety. It turns out that in some cases, the color can tell something about the beneficial properties of the fruit. By growing a red vegetable, a person gets more vitamin C than, for example, yellow pepper. The yellow variety, in turn, is rich in potassium, which is essential for maintaining the health of the cardiovascular and nervous system. Orange sweet peppers "signal" the presence of carotene.

It should also be remembered that the color of the pepper changes during aging. At the stage of technical ripening, the fruits are usually green. Fully ripe vegetables take on the characteristic color of the variety.

Fruit shape

The shape of the bell pepper is different: cone-shaped, prism-shaped, almost round, similar to a cube. The shape of the vegetable is taken into account depending on the purpose for which it will be used. For example, round peppers, such as the Sunny variety, are best suited for stuffing.

"Place of residence"

When choosing seeds, one should not forget about the conditions in which the pepper will "live": greenhouse, "fresh air", room. Each pack of seeds indicates whether the plant should be grown in an open, closed ground or on a loggia in an apartment. When purchasing seed, it is advisable to pay attention to the packaging of seeds, where the conditions for growing the plant are indicated. Many greenhouse sweet pepper seeds are unlikely to yield the promised outdoor yield. Today, the best varieties of sweet peppers for greenhouses include the following representatives: California Miracle, Agapovsky, Atlant F1, Apricot Favorite, Belladonna F1, Star of the East, Swallow, Cardinal F1, Bogatyr, Isabella F1.

The best option for the garden

Everyone wants to grow the best pepper, which would be the largest, most delicious, beautiful and juicy. Having tried to compile a rating of bell peppers based on its best indicators, you can get the following picture.

The largest pepper

The purchase of high-quality seeds of giant peppers increases the likelihood of getting a high yield of large, juicy "elephants" weighing up to 0.5 kg. Experienced vegetable growers have identified the largest varieties of sweet peppers, yielding simply gigantic fruits:

• Cockatoo F1. It is famous for its large-fruited nature. One fruit of the plant reaches a mass of 500 g. The cylindrical vegetable is colored juicy red. The walls are strong - 6-8 mm.
• Bull. A fully ripe yellow fruit weighs between 0.3 and 0.5 kg. The walls are thick, reaching up to 1 cm.The length of the fruit is 30 cm.
• King Kong. It can also please with half-kilogram fruits of a cylindrical, slightly curved shape. The rich red walls of the vegetable reach 6-9 mm in thickness.

In addition, other varieties of southern vegetables are among the varieties that give the most massive peppers: Atlant, Gems, Volovye Ukho, Bogatyr, Bychok, Red Spade, Big Papa.

The most productive pepper

An important role in obtaining a good harvest is played by the yield indicator of the variety.

What are the most productive varieties of sweet peppers loved by domestic farmers? Which plant brings the most succulent, aromatic production?

1. The first place in this category is rightfully taken by the mid-season California miracle pepper. It is easy to guess from the name that the variety was bred by American breeders. One bush of a plant can produce 7-10 "cubic" fruits, weighing about 150 grams. If you measure the yield in the number of kilograms harvested from 1 m2, then the yield of the California miracle will be 10 kg.
2. The sweet pepper variety Volovye ear is no less popular. Mid-season pepper, giving good results when grown both in greenhouses and outdoors. On average, one bush of the Ox's Ear gives 2-3 kg of yield per bush. The fruits are triangular, ribbed, and really resemble a bull's ear in shape. The weight of 1 fruit "holds out" up to 200 g, and the length - up to 12-16 cm. In the technical phase of ripening, the vegetable is green, later - red.
3. Pepper Atlant is one of the three leaders in terms of productivity, since, subject to all agrotechnical rules, this early ripening variety gives 3-5 kg ​​of vegetables per 1m2. Cone-shaped fruits gain a mass of 110-160 grams, but some managed to grow larger specimens - up to 400 grams. Fully ripe peppers are bright red in color.

Other varieties of bell pepper also showed good yield indicators: Mammoth, Golden Calf, Don Pedro, Three Fat Men, Gems, Fat Baron, Kolobok.

Earliest pepper

Ripening time is perhaps the most important factor to consider when choosing peppers for planting. Early varieties in this sense occupy a leading position, since they allow a guaranteed harvest in the northern regions, and in the southern regions, early peppers are sometimes used to obtain two harvests per season.

Most of all, the early varieties of sweet peppers for open ground, suitable for greenhouses, have earned the confidence of vegetable growers:

• Red Square. A very early variety of pepper, which begins to yield crops as early as 85-90 days after germination. Fruits are cuboid, thick-walled, slightly elongated, average weight - 260 g, but can reach 400 g. An especially important point: the harvest of the Red Square pepper well tolerates long-term storage and transportation.
• Ivanhoe. The variety has earned many accolades, primarily for its early return on harvest. Already on the 115th day, it will be possible to taste the first vegetable. The cone fruits of the variety are small, only 95-140 g, but the fertility indicators are high - 6-7 kg / m2. Ivanhoe pepper is stored well, suitable for "long trips".
• Funtik. The Funitk variety is well known to lovers of this vegetable crop for the opportunity to get fresh pepper in a short time. For 100-110 days, the peppers ripen to technical ripeness, when the fruits are still painted in a pale green color, but are already ready for consumption. On the 125-130th day, biological ripeness comes, the vegetables turn red. In addition, many appreciated its ability to bear fruit abundantly. One bush is able to "reward" with eighteen cone-shaped fruits (weighing 140-1480 grams).

The shortest pepper

In the cramped conditions of small personal plots, it is very important to place all your favorite garden crops. Often the most productive peppers are tall plants that require a lot of space. In addition, there is a problem with props, to which you need to attach a bush so that it does not break under the weight of the fruit and does not end up on the ground. These problems can be easily avoided by choosing the shortest varieties of bell peppers for your garden plot.

What varieties of "small stature" are considered to be the best?

1. Chanterelle. An early variety of orange-colored pepper is compact and stunted. 5-6 bushes are freely placed on 1 square meter of land. With a constant dive of side shoots and the right growing conditions, you can get up to 2 kg of peppers from one bush.The fruits are medium-sized (25-45 grams), as they ripen, they change the color range from green to orange. An interesting feature of the variety is considered to be its unique ability to grow and bear fruit on the loggias of city apartments.
2. Fakir. An excellent undersized option for a summer cottage, since the pepper bush will not grow higher than 50-70 cm. The first peppers will appear on the bush on the 85-120th day after the seedlings have "hatched". The period between technical and biological ripeness is short. Fruits-cones of medium size (35-65 gr), ripening, pass from yellow to red color.
3. Sveta. The height of the bush of this variety does not exceed 60 cm. Fruits are medium (60-80 gr), cone-shaped, they pass from technical to biological ripeness, changing the light green color to orange-yellow. Disease resistance is good.

Slight growth is also typical for the following sweet pepper varieties: Agapovsky, Eroshka, Albatross F1, Gemini F1, Timoshka, Ilya Muromets.

The thickest pepper

Sometimes the decisive role in the selection of seeds is played by the wall thickness of the pepper. It is very important for lovers of this product to choose the best varieties of sweet peppers with thick walls for preparing all kinds of fresh and pickled salads. The following varieties of sweet peppers with thick walls (more than 6 mm) and juicy pulp can boast of positive reviews: Red giant, California miracle, Volovye ear, Fatty, Anastasia, Belozerka, Kolobok, Fat Baron. By the way, all of these representatives are the most acceptable varieties of thick-walled sweet peppers for open ground, giving a bountiful harvest without covering with a film.

Bell peppers are a vegetable that people love for their pleasant taste and healing properties, which make the vegetable an indispensable ingredient in many summer salads and other dishes. The correct choice of sowing material largely determines the quality of the future harvest, so you should take a responsible approach to solving this problem. Specialized stores will help in this, where you can choose a variety that takes into account all the wishes of the farmer.

If I am asked what are the most successful varieties of sweet peppers (based on the results of last summer) I highlight, and which varieties and hybrids I will plant again, then I will answer:

• Red shovel
• Atlant
• Big Daddy
• gold reserve
• Bagheera
• Gingerbread man
• Cockatoo
• Tusk
• Fat Baron
• Siberian bonus
• Gemini F1
• Claudio F1

I consider these varieties and hybrids of peppers to be the best. They have passed two years of tests (and some more) and now they will once again take their rightful place in my garden.

If you have large greenhouses or you like outdoor experiments, then take a look at the rest of the varieties and hybrids on this page - they also deserve attention, and they are all good in their own way, but my plot sizes (unfortunately) are not unlimited, so I chose only the most favorite.

Growing sweet peppers

In the southern regions, it grows well in the open field, but in more northern latitudes, the largest 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 insects also pollinate them. The planting of bell peppers should be located away from the beds with hot peppers, as 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 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.
