We all love peppers. They are unusual - large, cube-shaped, sweet, with thick walls. Superda4nik.ru wants to advise on the best bell pepper seeds to choose for planting so that tasty and aromatic fruits grow.

In central Russia, growing pepper is only possible by seedlings, since the ripening period of pepper is longer than our summer, so early and mid-early varieties of sweet pepper are interesting.

Agricultural companies that are engaged in breeding new varieties of pepper and seeds, such as Gavrish, SeDek, recommend planting pepper hybrids rather than varieties.

What is the difference between a hybrid and a variety?

A variety is the result of selection. All his genes are identical and like two peas in a pod, similar to his parents. The variety is selected and adapted to a specific climate and location. When pollinated, it produces seeds of the same variety. You can get seeds from the variety. For this purpose, the most characteristic and best fruits are selected from the most developed bushes.

A hybrid is the result of crossing. The effect is obtained by a certain combination of parents. Hybrids are much superior to their parents in growth vigor and productivity, sometimes exhibiting very unique properties. But it is impossible to get seeds from them; most often they will look like unremarkable grandparents.

It is very easy to distinguish a pepper variety from a hybrid. The hybrid bag will say F1. This means that it is a first generation hybrid.

The best varieties of sweet peppers

California miracle

If you still decide to plant sweet pepper varieties, then this could be a California miracle. Early pepper, 100-130 days pass from the germination of seedlings to technical ripeness. The plant is determinate. It bears fruit for a long time, the fruits are large, cube-shaped, thick-skinned (wall thickness 6-7 mm) and aromatic. Peppers grow weighing 80-130 g. From this variety you can get seeds with 100% germination and you will have your own best varieties of sweet peppers. Can be used fresh and canned.

What do they say about the California Miracle pepper reviews:

• I studied for a very long time which seeds are best to buy for our lands middle zone. Not all sprout, or die during night frosts. I decided on two varieties, one of which was “California miracle”. The germination of the pepper did not produce any special emotions, everything went as usual, maybe it requires a little more water at the stage of the appearance of the first flowers than ordinary seedlings. But at the landing stage everything went much better than usual. Of the 10 plants planted, 9 took root in the ground (this is taking into account that I used special soil for seedlings, which is generally wrong). The tenth one also resisted for a long time, but it was my fault I didn’t keep an eye on him. Then everything went like clockwork, I mean like clockwork. Leaves, beautiful flowers and fruits. I was very pleased with the taste of the fruit: sweet, aromatic, pleasant. Ideal for all kinds of preparations. Winter has almost passed, but pepper still pleases with its presence on the table at dinner, there was a lot! I recommend the California Miracle pepper to everyone - this is an excellent bell pepper variety for central Russia, it takes root well and bears fruit well! The fruits are strong, tasty, and grow abundantly! Happy gardening everyone!
• I have been growing California Miracle peppers for many years. This reliable variety gave yields even in open ground in Siberian conditions. This productive pepper sweet varieties for Siberia. One drawback: the thinness of the fruit, but apparently this is due to the lack of sunny days and warmth.

ox ear

This is a mid-early variety; 70-75 days pass from the moment of planting seedlings to fruiting. These hybrids and varieties of peppers are for polycarbonate greenhouses and open ground. They grow low, the bushes are about 60 - 70 cm in height, so they can be grown under film covers.

Pepper Ox's Ear reviews from gardeners:

• My first Ox's Ear peppers grew up to 40 cm in length. Then they began to get smaller, to about 8 - 12 cm, but the first ones simply amazed me. Very tasty and aromatic!

Yellow hybrid sweet pepper Gemini F1

These Dutch pepper seeds are the best for open ground because they do not grow tall. The bushes are about 60 cm in height and can grow well under film covers.

Highly productive early varieties of sweet pepper. They can even be called very early ripening, since the fruits begin to ripen 72-78 days after planting the seedlings. The fruits are large, cuboid-elongated, four-chambered, turn from dark green to bright yellow, and have high taste. They tolerate stress well and are resistant to sunburn, air drought. These are the beautiful best varieties of peppers for open ground. They grow on a long stalk, so they are easy to pick when harvesting.

Pepper Gemini F1 reviews:

• For several years in a row I have been delighted with Gemini. They grow well, you can eat them green (the peppers have more vitamins when they are technically ripe), and I love the yellow Gemini ones, they are very sweet.

Very tasty and aromatic, weighing approximately 200 grams. Peppers, subject to growing technology and sufficient heat and sun, grow thick-walled, with a wall thickness of 10-14 mm.

Pepper Claudio F1 reviews from gardeners:

• For me it turned out rather late, it didn’t turn red for a very long time. But perhaps due to the cold rainy summer. Grew in open ground, without shelter. I covered it only in August so that the fruits would turn red faster. I liked the taste - sweet, juicy. The wall thickness was 8-10 mm. The fruits were all the same size, but there were few on the bush. Perhaps it would have performed better in a greenhouse or in an exhaust gas under normal weather conditions. Germination rate is 100% - out of 5 seeds, all five germinated.
• I'm a beginner. I planted pepper seeds, variety Claudio F1 (Holland), it says super new 2010, 50 pieces on 02/12, every single one of them sprouted on 02/19, they stand like soldiers, handsome men (ugh, ugh). I bought the seeds not in the store but directly from the Semko company. So there I received recommendations for planting that seeds purchased from serious companies are not soaked, this applies not only to peppers. And tomatoes and cucumbers... I planted everything and everything came up quickly and amicably. Last season I bought seeds in stores - there were a lot of tears.

Bell peppers in a greenhouse - features of agricultural technology

Sweet bell pepper is loved by almost everyone, and it is very popular in the market, because of its content of vitamins and useful minerals among vegetables it has no equal. The taste is also amazing, and unlike eggplants, peppers can be consumed both processed and raw. But this crop is quite capricious and demanding on conditions, so many summer residents and gardeners have switched to growing peppers in a greenhouse - glass, film, polycarbonate, in order to protect the crop from weather adversities and numerous pests. About the secrets of growing sweet peppers indoors in this article.

Biological characteristics of peppers

These vegetable plants come from the tropics, and therefore have increased requirements for heat, soil fertility and humidity. In our latitudes, it is customary to grow peppers, like eggplants, as an annual crop, although in fact these are perennial plants, and if proper wintering conditions are provided, they can produce full harvests for many years.

After seed germination, the sprout first forms a taproot, which grows to a depth of 60-80 cm. Then horizontal branches are formed on it, the lateral shoots of which also penetrate to a depth. Ultimately, the root system of peppers, like eggplants, has a fibrous shape. Since peppers in a greenhouse are mainly planted through seedlings, the central rod breaks off, and the entire root system is located in a soil layer of up to 40 cm. Therefore, plants have increased demands on soil fertility, and they also need enough space for full growth. High yields of sweet peppers can be obtained on well-fertilized, non-acidic soils.

Bell peppers are heat-loving plants, in particular, they have higher temperature requirements than tomatoes.

Seeds germinate only when the soil warms up to 13-15 degrees, and the bushes grow well at 20-25 C. At a soil temperature of +3 C, the roots die. It is possible to grow a high yield in a greenhouse only when daytime temperatures are +25-28 and nighttime temperatures are not lower than +16 degrees. If the heat is above +30 C, the pollen becomes sterile and the number of ovaries decreases. Yields are also significantly reduced when there is insufficient moisture.

The stem of peppers, like eggplants, is vertical, does not lie down, and becomes rusty at the bottom. The flowers are bisexual, can be solitary, or can grow in bunches (bouquet peppers). The larger the flower, the larger the fruit will be. Flowering begins with a single flower at the first branch, then their number increases exponentially. On one bush, before frost, from 40 to 100 flowers can form, simultaneously with ripening fruits. bell pepper, like bitter, self-pollinates, and when different species and varieties are grown together, cross-pollination occurs with the help of insects and wind. The shape of the fruit can be very different. Varieties of bell peppers are divided into the following varieties:

• early ripening - 110 days from germination, mid-ripening - 120-130 days, late ripening - from 140 days;
• by growth strength: tall - up to 2 m, tall - 1.2-1.3 m, standard - up to 0.5 m;
• according to the fruiting period: short - no more than 30 days, long - up to 7 months;
• according to the shape of the fruit - from round to trunk-shaped;
• by fruit color: white, all colors of yellow, orange, red, purple, chocolate;
• by fruit weight – from 3 to 650 grams;
• according to the quality of the fruit: thin-walled and fleshy.

Pepper in greenhouses - from seed to harvest

This crop can be grown in all types of greenhouses - glass, film, polycarbonate, with or without heating. Often, bell peppers are planted in the second rotation - after selecting tomato and eggplant seedlings.

In greenhouses made of polycarbonate and film without heating, seedlings can be planted only when the soil warms up to +15 C, and this is in mid-latitudes - the 3rd decade of May. You need to sow sweet pepper seeds on March 25-30 in cups in order to replant by transshipment, without picking, which significantly delays the development of plants.

In heated shelters, sweet pepper seeds can be sown directly in a permanent place starting from the New Year. It is necessary to plant to a depth of 1.5-2 cm, between rows - at least 12 cm. The distance between plants in a row is determined by the growth rate of the bush. In general, peppers require a smaller feeding area than tomatoes and eggplants.

Growing seedlings

At soil temperatures above +20 degrees, seedlings appear on the 7th day, and at +15 – only on the 20-25th day. Caring for sprouts includes regularly maintaining soil moisture in this mode (this eliminates blackleg disease):

• before emergence - watering every other day with a consumption of 3 liters of water per 1 sq. m;
• from germination to the appearance of the first true leaf - 2 times with a flow rate of 7 liters per square meter. m;
• then every 2-3 days with a flow rate of 15 liters per 1 sq.m.

Between waterings, be sure to loosen the rows. 2 weeks after germination, the seedlings should begin to be hardened, periodically ventilating the greenhouse made of polycarbonate or glass. In film greenhouses, hardening begins from the 3rd week, making sure that the temperature does not fall below +16 degrees.

The feeding regime for seedlings is the same as for tomatoes and eggplants: every 7-10 days, liquid fertilizing alternately with a solution of ready-made fertilizers for seedlings, a highly diluted solution of organic fertilizers, a Solution (Epin or Zircon according to the instructions) - to strengthen the plants' immunity.

Planting seedlings in greenhouses

If the peppers were sown as seedlings in cups, then they can be planted in a permanent place at the age of 40-45 days, the height of the bushes is 20-25 cm, 8-9 leaves. The planting scheme for sweet peppers depends on the timing of cultivation and the vigor of the bush and is 3-10 plants per square meter. Vigorous varieties in early dates It is recommended to plant according to the scheme 70x40x30 or 80x40x25. Low growing varieties can be compacted more: 80x40x16 cm.

When planting, the stem, like that of eggplants, cannot be buried, since additional roots do not form on the stem, but the incidence of plant diseases increases.

Forming bell peppers in a greenhouse

There are many contradictions about this, but the most effective is the so-called Dutch technology, which involves the following ways to grow a good crop in a greenhouse made of polycarbonate or other material:

• Low-growing varieties are grown without tying or pinching.
• A vigorous bell pepper is tied to a trellis and pinched, forming three stems. To do this, all side shoots are removed before the first branching, then only three shoots remain. They are tied with a fan, all other new shoots and leaves in the internodes are plucked out. In this case, the first flower is always removed.

The second option for forming sweet peppers of vigorous varieties: at the first branch, the flower is removed and only 2 shoots are left. As it grows, the stronger one is left on the next branch to continue the branch, and the weak one is pinched above the first fruit. And so on. Each shoot is tied to a trellis, since this formation makes it possible to grow a large harvest, and under the weight of large fruits, fragile shoots break off. Productivity can be up to 9-15 kg of fruits per 1 square meter.

A month before the end of cultivation, the tops should be pinched to speed up the ripening of the entire crop.

What do peppers like in the greenhouse?

Increased requirements for water supply - 60-70% relative air humidity and constantly moist soil. With a lack of watering, 1-2 day old flowers and ovaries fall off. Overwatering is also very dangerous - it develops root rot. On very hot days, it is recommended to shade a greenhouse made of glass and polycarbonate with lutrasil or spunbond so as not to overheat the plants, as ripening peppers will become like boiled ones.

It is necessary to feed the same as tomatoes - once every 7-19 days, depending on the vigor of the bush. The dose of fertilizer is 25% lower than for eggplants and tomatoes. It is especially important to adhere to the potassium balance, since with a deficiency of this element, the leaves become coarser, become light-colored with a gray coating, and the fruits become smaller and become tasteless. It will be very difficult to correct the situation - pepper is difficult to recover from a lack of nutrition.

Diseases and pests of peppers in a greenhouse

If you follow the above rules of agricultural technology, peppers usually do not get sick. The most interesting thing is that domestic varieties, especially medium-sized ones, are the most resistant to diseases, while foreign hybrids get sick quite often and it is rarely possible to grow them without the use of chemicals. The most resistant varieties are Svetlyachok, Pioneer, Druzhok. They can only get sick when there are sudden changes or a strong drop in temperature (below +10 C) - purple blooms and spots appear on the fruits. When the heat returns they disappear.

Folk recipe for fighting aphids on peppers

Pass a glass of hot onion pulp and dandelion leaves through a meat grinder. Dilute in 10 liters, leave for 30 minutes, strain, add 1 tablespoon of liquid soap and treat all plants. After 3 days, rinse off with sprinkling and ventilate well until the leaves dry.

The best varieties of sweet peppers for open ground and film shelters

Not every pepper will have time to grow and ripen in short summer conditions, with a lack of heat and light. This requires low-growing, early-ripening, resistant to low temperatures unpretentious varieties. So, their fruits will be completely different from the sweet, juicy, fleshy southern peppers? Not at all. The old varieties, suitable for the Non-Black Earth Region, really did not have a special taste. Herbaceous and dry, with thin walls, the peppers were suitable only for preparations. But thanks to the success of breeders, today gardeners have plenty to choose from. New products have appeared with fruits of a wide variety of colors, from pale yellow to purple, not to mention orange, red, burgundy, large and small, round, cube-shaped and cone-shaped. At the same time, they have a compact bush, which makes it easier to care for plantings, are cold-resistant, do not require complex shelters for growing, are resistant to diseases, are tasty and productive.

Growing sweet peppers in a greenhouse to sell an expensive product

Sweet pepper is considered a vitamin dope and an antidepressant. It is especially beneficial for our cardiovascular system. It also has an aromatic taste and is often used in cooking. For these and many other reasons, the demand for sweet peppers is always stable.

Wholesale prices for sweet peppers range from $0.7-$1. The average retail price is $1.5. One of the most expensive vegetables on the market!

The ripening period for early ripening varieties from planting seedlings to fruiting is 50-55 days. And the yield of sweet peppers in a greenhouse often reaches 18 kg per square meter.

These and other advantages attract farmers to grow sweet peppers in a greenhouse. After all, this solution gives a larger yield per square meter than in open ground. The temperature conditions required for the active growth of this vegetable crop are 25-30 degrees; they are much easier to maintain in a greenhouse.

To organize a pepper growing business you will need:

1. Pepper seeds of the variety you are interested in.
2. High-quality fertilizers.
3. A plot of land.
4. Containers and transport for the sale of grown products.

It is important to choose those varieties that you are best at. There are often cases when vegetable growers choose a variety because of its beauty, but it turns out to be one of the most “capricious” to care for. The more you learn about each specific variety, the better harvest you can get.

The best varieties of sweet peppers for greenhouses

Selecting suitable varieties of pepper for a greenhouse is not easy, because today there are a lot of types, more than 500 (including hybrids). A number of varieties were bred specifically for growing indoors. The most prolific of them are “Orange Miracle”, “Winnie the Pooh”, “Tenderness”.

“Apricot Favorite” is considered one of the best early ripening varieties for both greenhouses and open ground. The Atlant variety stands out. It is classified as early and mid-ripening. It stands out for its compactness and fertility.

One of the earliest ripening varieties is the “Cardinal” variety, which is excellent for greenhouse conditions. The time it takes for the latter to reach ripeness actually does not exceed 100 days. The height of a bush of this variety can reach more than 1 meter.

Pests and diseases of sweet peppers in a greenhouse

Diseases and pests of peppers can appear when grown even in greenhouse conditions.

Sweet pepper is a rather capricious plant, and growing it is quite difficult. Therefore, its cost is always high level. As already mentioned, this is not a cheap greenhouse crop. With sudden changes in temperature, the plant can get sick; at temperatures below +10, a bloom and a purple spot appear.

Among other common diseases, it is worth highlighting blossom end rot; it is not infectious and appears when the humidity and feeding regime are violated. Pepper can be treated by adding a handful of ash under the bush in time, which will alkalize the soil.

The viral disease stolbur is also common, due to which the growth of the plant stops, the leaves fade and the fruits turn yellow. It is carried by various pests. Alternaria blight, or black mold, appears as brown spots covering leaves, stems and fruits. The most dangerous pest is considered to be aphids.

Growing sweet pepper seedlings at home

Before planting peppers in a greenhouse, you need to grow seedlings at home. It is recommended to plant seeds from February to March. Before planting, they are usually kept in warm water for several hours. The soil for seeds should consist of soil, peat and humus in a ratio of 1:1:1.

The optimal soil Ph should be 6.4-6.8. One or two seeds are buried to a depth of approximately 2 cm. The distance between seeds should be 1.5-2 centimeters, and between the beds - 5-6 centimeters.

In order for the seedlings to germinate successfully, it is necessary to constantly maintain a temperature of +25-+27 degrees in the greenhouse. It is important to provide abundant lighting for 12-14 hours daily; lamps can be used for this. The plant requires frequent, but not abundant watering. It is recommended to carry out drainage so that water does not stagnate in the soil. Complementary feeding in the form of mineral fertilizers is given once every 10 days.

The first shoots appear on days 5-10. Please note that after the sprouts rise, the temperature regime needs to be changed slightly. Immediately after the formation of seedlings, the temperature drops to +15...+18 degrees for 2 days, after which it must be maintained around +22...+25 degrees during the day, and +15...+18 at night.

The seedlings are transplanted into the greenhouse from mid-March to April; it is important to ensure a temperature of about +15...+18 degrees. The thickness of the soil should be at least 25 cm. Despite the fact that sweet pepper is a very heat-loving plant, if the temperature rises to +35 degrees, the bushes should be shaded.

Conditions for growing sweet peppers

Secrets of growing sweet peppers in a greenhouse - what you shouldn’t forget:

1. When the pepper reaches 15-20 centimeters in height, it is necessary to trim the tops of the plant, so the plant will branch better.
2. In a greenhouse where there is no wind or extreme cold, sweet peppers will grow very actively, so you can attach the upper growing points to bamboo poles (trellises).
3. It is important to feed the plant with both organic and mineral fertilizers, alternating them.
4. For planting the plant, soil in which onions, cabbage, and cucumbers were previously grown is suitable. If nightshade plants have previously grown in the ground, then you should wait 3-4 years before planting this crop. And it’s best to change the soil - this is another advantage of greenhouse conditions.
5. The temperature of the soil itself in which the pepper is planted should not be lower than +15 degrees.
6. It is worth loosening the soil regularly, so the plant will receive more oxygen.
7. Sweet peppers should not be planted next to bitter ones, otherwise the sweet fruits will taste bitter. The distance between these plants must be at least 100 meters!

How to effectively sell your harvest on the market?

When the planted plants bear their first fruits, you need to start selling the grown product. The easiest way is to sell sweet peppers at the market. And although you will face fierce competition here, the largest influx of buyers at the very beginning of promoting your business is easiest to find here.

You can establish connections with establishments that purchase products for cooking - restaurants, cafes, canteens. You can also become a supplier of homemade fresh vegetables to local stores. Don't underestimate the power of the Internet. You can offer your product in in social networks or on your online store.

The harvest can be sold not only to individual buyers for food consumption, but also to stores and companies producing pepper tinctures. By growing fruits in a greenhouse, you can also sell seedlings to amateur gardeners.

Today, growing vegetables in a greenhouse is a profitable and quickly pay-off business idea. The consumer wants to consume fresh and organic locally produced vegetables all year round. Therefore, finding a buyer for yourself will not be a problem.

Early varieties of sweet peppers for greenhouses are quite easy to grow. It is enough to follow all the rules of agricultural technology.

The benefits of early varieties of sweet peppers

There are a lot of varieties. They are determined according to various criteria.

• According to the place of cultivation - greenhouse, open ground (or universal).
• According to the speed of fruit ripening - ultra-early (early), mid-ripening, late-ripening.
• According to the height of the stem.

As a rule, many farmers prefer early varieties of sweet peppers.

The vegetable is one of the healthiest. Ultra-early ripening varieties for greenhouses contain a lot of vitamins. First of all, these are carotene and vitamin C.

So, we looked at the best ultra-early varieties of peppers for greenhouse cultivation. Now let's look at the seed selection criteria.

Five selection criteria

When choosing seeds of an ultra-early variety of peppers for greenhouse cultivation, questions and doubts often arise.

Before purchasing seeds, please read the following information:

1. growing environment;
2. fruit ripening;
3. plant size;
4. susceptibility to disease or pests;
5. regional features.

If you plan to start the plant in a greenhouse, make sure the seed growing medium indicated on the package is appropriate. Each variety is designed for different conditions.

The timing of fruit ripening is also important. If you want the fruit to ripen quickly, choose ultra-early ripening varieties.

The size of the plant matters a lot. Especially if the sweet pepper will grow in a greenhouse. Choose compact early varieties. This will greatly facilitate further care of the plant and will not affect its productivity.

The most important criterion is susceptibility to diseases or pests. Early plants have different level vulnerabilities. Of course, the advantage is on the side of resistant varieties.

Regional characteristics of early varieties are also important. In order for sweet pepper seeds to develop correctly, the necessary conditions must be created in the greenhouse.

Attention! All information can be found on the back of the seed packets, on the Internet, or you can get it from a sales consultant.

Pure variety or hybrid

To make it easier to make a choice, let’s talk about the differences between pure and hybrid plant samples.

Early varieties grow much better in a greenhouse than in open ground.

Pure varieties are the result of long-term, high-quality seed selection. Farmers grow plants, then select the best ones:

• the highest;
• the most meaty;
• with the most delicious and largest fruits.

The seeds are removed from the fruits of this plant. Then the seedlings are planted by hand. The qualifying round is repeated until the result is perfect. This is how a pure variety appears.

Attention! As a rule, such peppers grow in certain regions and require careful care.

Ultra-early ripening sweet pepper hybrids are the result of crossing early varieties in greenhouses. These plant samples differ:

• thick stem;
• high yield;
• quality fruits;
• attractive appearance;
• compactness of the bush;
• endurance to diseases;
• resistance to pests.

Important! The seeds of an early hybrid sweet pepper variety grown in a greenhouse do not retain genetics.

In other words, they are disposable. To plant next year you will need to purchase new seeds. At the same time, their considerable cost should be taken into account.

Proper planting of early varieties

It is best to germinate the seeds of greenhouse ultra-early sweet peppers first. In order for the seedlings to turn out to be of high quality, you need to pay attention to the following parameters:

• capacity;
• priming;
• distance;
• temperature;
• transfer.

Be sure to choose the container in advance. For initial sowing, a shallow container is quite suitable. In the future, the sprouts will need to be replanted. In this case, you will need a larger container, preferably peat. You can use wooden boxes.

The soil for planting early peppers should be well moistened. There should not be excess water. It is best to generously spray the soil with seeds from a spray bottle. This way you can control the amount of moisture. If you have heavily flooded the soil, simply mix it with dry soil.

Attention! Some farmers use compost instead of soil to grow seedlings of ultra-early varieties of greenhouse peppers.

Distance plays a big role in planting seeds. Sprouted peppers will interfere with each other and stretch if the correct spacing is not observed. Plant the seeds two inches apart. Then the seedlings will develop freely and correctly.

The most important role is played by temperature. Greenhouse early varieties of sweet peppers need its stability. When growing seedlings, monitor the thermometer. The temperature should be kept at 21. This affects the future harvest of the plant.

It is necessary to replant sweet pepper seedlings. Greenhouse ultra-early ripening varieties require double replanting: the first is carried out in a container, the second - directly into the greenhouse soil. When the seedlings have sprouted and become stronger (about 12 weeks), carefully transplant them into large peat containers. This is necessary for good root development. This way they become stronger and more branchy.

In a greenhouse, early varieties of sweet pepper seedlings should be planted at a distance of half a meter from each other. For the right further development plants need to be looked after. Let's talk about the rules.

Planting ultra-early peppers

Early greenhouse varieties of sweet peppers, even unpretentious ones, need proper care. In order for the plant’s yield to meet expectations, you need to perform small tricks.

1. Bush garter. Tall, early peppers may break during growth. To prevent the plant from deteriorating, it needs help. If the pepper reaches a height of 60 cm, tie it up.
2. Watering. Don't forget to implement it on time. Early varieties of sweet peppers love moisture.
3. High yield. Be sure to remove the first ovaries in order to increase yield.
4. Temperature. Each pepper variety has its own temperature preferences. If you are growing several early varieties of pepper in one greenhouse, you need an average temperature. The most optimal indicator is 18 degrees. Stick to it for good yield.
5. Formation. Too spreading varieties of ultra-early ripening greenhouse peppers need to be shaped. To do this, excess shoots are removed from the bush. Thus, you will increase the productivity of the plant and protect it from many diseases.

So, we have looked at the rules for selecting, planting and caring for early varieties of sweet peppers for greenhouses. By following them, you can easily grow large, fleshy fruits yourself.

Co-cultivation

The guarantee of obtaining a good harvest from growing several vegetable crops in one greenhouse is, first of all, the compatibility of the plants. As for cucumbers and peppers, everything is not so simple.

Cucumber prefers:

• high temperature;

• humidity (frequent watering and spraying).

At the same time, cucumbers absolutely do not need additional and frequent ventilation of the greenhouse.

Pepper has other preferences:

• moderate temperature indicators;

• timely feeding.

From all of the above, we can say that growing peppers and cucumbers in the same greenhouse is not the best solution.

Tomatoes and peppers in one greenhouse

It would seem that the relationship of both peppers and tomatoes with one type of nightshade eliminates all doubts and requires an unequivocal positive answer. But not everything is simple and unambiguous - to achieve a bountiful harvest, a number of important conditions must be met:

• If sowing tomato and pepper seedlings in a greenhouse should be done at one time, the sowing time depends on the variety, and this time may not coincide.
• The main rule that should guide vegetable growers when planting peppers and tomatoes together on the same bed is an individual approach to each plant. Different cultures do not take the same approach.

Do you think it is possible to plant peppers next to tomatoes?

YesNo

Agricultural technology of pepper in a greenhouse

Pepper seedlings can safely be considered ready for planting in greenhouse soil if they already have 12-14 leaves and buds are developing in the leaf axils. As a result, healthy seedlings have a thick stem, a height of 25 cm and even a green color. And in an unheated film greenhouse, pepper seedlings should be planted when the soil in it warms up to 15 ° C - and this is not before May 15. And the seedlings must be at least 55 days old.

It is necessary to prepare the soil for planting pepper seedlings. To do this, you need to add potassium and phosphorus fertilizers, 40 g/m2 and nitrogen 30 g/m2. But fresh manure cannot be fertilized by peppers - because of this, bushes can grow and flowers will fall. It’s better to hum, or compost: a bucket for each 1 m 2.

Expert opinion

Filatov Ivan Yurievich, private farmer for more than 30 years

Planted peppers in a greenhouse should be on a meter-long ridge with a step between two rows. But the density of planting seedlings will depend on the characteristics of the variety. For hybrids and vigorous varieties, the distance between plants in one row should be 35 cm, and for medium-sized ones - 25 cm. But for low-growing early ripening varieties, plant in a row after 15 cm, i.e. 10 plants per 1 m2. And to plant seedlings you need to pre-wet the holes with 2 liters for each. And after planting, the soil should be well sealed with hands and covered with peat or humus.

Key points of planting and carefor sweet peppers in the Moscow region

Before we begin to consider pepper varieties for the Moscow region, you need to know the main points of caring for and planting sweet peppers in the Moscow region. After all, even the best varieties, if grown incorrectly, will bring a poor harvest.

• To plant peppers, you must first choose a well-lit place. The best soils for peppers are light soils.
• Before planting, the crop seeds must be treated. To do this, the seeds are placed in water at a temperature of +50°C for five hours, after which they are placed in a moistened cloth until they hatch for three days. This preparatory period allows you to get seedlings already on the first or second day after sowing.
• The best predecessors for growing this crop are cucumbers, carrots, cabbage and legumes. You should not plant the plant in the ground where potatoes, tomatoes and eggplants grew.
• The soil for peppers must begin to be prepared a year before growing. To do this, first of all they introduce into it organic fertilizers, in the fall I add fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium, and in the spring only 50 grams of ammonium nitrate are added to the top layer.
• Pepper seedlings are planted 60 cm apart.
• Pepper is a very moisture-loving plant. To do this, it is necessary to monitor watering, because during drought the crop may wither. Different varieties have their own individual watering, but, in general, the crop needs to be moistened twice every seven days at the root of the plant.
• Proper care of pepper consists of the following activities: watering the crop, tying it up, weeding and fertilizing. It is necessary to loosen the soil under the pepper with special care, because the root system is located very close to the surface and can easily be damaged.
• Some gardeners have concluded that for better harvest it is necessary to remove the central flower. Also, in order to get a good harvest, you need to attract pollinating insects; for this, peppers are sprayed with a solution of sugar and boric acid per liter of water.
• You can also hang small jars of honey solution nearby.
• When planting peppers in greenhouses, you should first put up stakes so as not to harm the crop in the future.
• On particularly dry and hot days, peppers must be protected from the sun.
• A ripened harvest must be harvested on time so that the ripened fruits do not interfere with the ripening of the others.

Video: 10 mistakes when growing sweet peppers

The formation of pepper takes place in several stages:

Sweet pepper is one of the most common indoor crops. To increase productivity indicators, timely shaping must be applied to it. Otherwise, some of your time, effort and money will be wasted.

1. Crown bud. When the seedlings reach 17-20 cm, the sprout begins to branch, and the first crown bud is formed at the branching site. It must be removed so that the plant can develop well.
2. We cut off the excess. When 10 leaves are formed, the peppers get rid of excess branches, leaving 2-3 sprouts from the crown bud. These shoots will form the main "skeleton" of the plant. With further growth, the pepper forms new branches from the skeletal branches. They need to be monitored and weaker shoots removed. Buds will appear in the branches.
3. We remove fruitless shoots. Barren shoots periodically appear on the main shoot, interfere with growth, and create unnecessary shadows, so you also need to get rid of them.
4. We prevent diseases. Pepper loves moisture, but not frequent watering. It would be optimal to water once a week, but generously. Be sure to inspect the plants for diseased leaves that need to be removed. This will reduce the risk of diseases. The plant also needs to be protected from various diseases; for this, every two weeks you need to water them with a solution of Fitosporin-M, Alirin or Trichodermin.
5. After the fruits of the lower tier appear, the leaves are pruned from the main stem, 2 leaves per pruning. After the second row of fruits appears, the leaves are pruned again. And this is done as all tiers ripen. 1.5 months before full ripening, the bush is not touched.
6. The last stage is pinching the buds. To obtain a high yield, it is necessary to promptly remove excess ovaries. No more than 25 pieces should be left on one bush. Of these, 15–17 buds form fruits. The rest should be removed, and later ovaries should also be pinched. They will not produce good fruits, but will draw strength from the plant.
