The collection of pepper can be carried out in biological (when the fruit has reached its varietal characteristics - size, color, shape, etc.), and in technical (when the fruit outward signs has formed a fruiting organ, but does not have the ripeness inherent in this variety (color and size). The first fruits in technical ripeness can be obtained in 60 - 70 days. And one of the suitable varieties is Flamingo F1.

From biological to technical ripeness takes 20 - 30 days. Fruits are usually harvested in the phase of technical and biological ripeness, during this period they contain the greatest amount of useful substances, namely sugars, mineral salts, vitamins. The ripeness of a pepper can be determined by a specific crackle when the fruit is touched. Harvesting of pepper occurs at the same time as harvesting of tomatoes and eggplant. The first harvest is obtained in early, mid-August and continues to be harvested until frost.

In technical ripeness, fruits are harvested selectively, every 6 to 8 days. It is best to cut the fruits with the stalk, so they will be better stored without losing their taste. Remove carefully so as not to damage the branches of plants, which are very fragile. Harvesting late can cause the next crop to stop growing. For the entire growing season, 3-5 collections are carried out.

Pepper collection and storage

Before the onset of the planned frosts, all fruits are harvested, sorted by ripeness and size for ripening indoors.

Like most vegetables, pepper has a low keeping quality and, if stored poorly, the fruits rot in two days. When properly stored, peppers can last up to a month longer than tomatoes and eggplant. Fruits of technical ripeness, without mechanical damages, are selected for storage. Thin-walled peppers are best stored in refrigerators. In fruits that are left for storage, the stalk is cut off (part of it, leaving a small tip). Peppers should be free from disease, damage, cracks and dents.

For storage, various containers are used, from boxes to plastic bags. The thickness of the package must be at least 120 microns, have a perforated membrane on the side wall of the package. For transportation and further sale, special plastic packaging is used.

Polyethylene does not allow air to pass through and carbon dioxide is formed inside the bag, which displaces oxygen, that is, conditions are formed under which any product is stored better. In addition to the package, each fruit can be wrapped in paper or other material.

Fruits are often stored in cellars or cold stores. They are placed in bags, boxes, baskets in 2-3 rows or on shelves. Important conditions storage - temperature regime. It should be 8 - 10 °C at a relative humidity of 80 - 90%. By the way, fruits wrapped in paper are well stored for a month and a half, while maintaining freshness and taste.

It is necessary to ensure that there are no foreign odors in the room, as pepper easily absorbs them. Ideally, if it is stored in a separate room from other vegetables. Pepper containers should be clean and free from additional odors. In the refrigerator, pepper is stored less, but at a temperature of 9 - 10 ° C and a humidity of 80%, it can lie until the next month.

Pepper processing

Pepper is a versatile plant. It can be consumed both fresh and processed. But pepper fruits can also be frozen, dried, stewed, fried, boiled, preserved, caviar, mashed, pasta, etc. are made from them.

Fruits are often used for canning, such a product is very popular among the population. From dried and frozen fruits, you can cook various soups, side dishes, and also use as a snack.

And in conclusion, I would like to point out one of the main reasons for good keeping quality - this is a variety. By the way, choosing the right variety can increase the shelf life of peppers.

Before discussing the collection and storage of pepper, it should be clarified which particular culture will be discussed. Our gardeners grow two types of pepper - sweet and bitter. Their agricultural technology is similar in many respects, but there are differences, especially with regard to harvesting.

Sweet pepper (syn. Bulgarian, capsicum)

The maximum amount of vitamins and other nutrients is found in fully ripened peppers. But everyone knows that the ripe fruits of sweet varieties are stored very poorly - they have to be immediately eaten or processed. Therefore, it is recommended to collect not yet fully ripened pods that are in the phase of so-called technical ripeness.

The state of technical ripeness usually occurs 2-2.5 months after germination. At this time, the fruits already reach the size characteristic of a particular variety, but do not yet have the proper color. Terms of technical maturation are individual for different varieties and should be indicated on the seed bags.

Peppers that have reached technical ripeness can lie for up to two months or even more. At this time, they gradually ripen without losing their nutritional and commercial qualities.

To move from one phase of ripeness to another, that is, from technical to biological, the pods need from several days to two and a half weeks. The duration of the process depends on many factors, but, first of all, on the ambient temperature. The higher it is, the faster the ripening. Therefore, in order to store pepper for a long time, it is necessary to provide it with 7 to 10 ° C during the ripening period, and about zero after its completion.

The onset of biological ripeness of peppers will be indicated by a change in their color - it becomes brighter, the same as the fruits of this variety should have. Another sign is a characteristic crackle that occurs when pressed. Immature pods do not have it.

Usually the collection of peppers is carried out selectively, once or twice a week, as they are ready. Total harvesting is carried out only with the threat of frost, which this crop does not tolerate at all. The calendar dates for the start of harvesting largely depend on where the plants are grown - in a greenhouse, greenhouse or open ground.

Cut off the finished fruits should be extremely careful, with the stalk, so as not to damage the very fragile twigs. It is best to use a special pruner or scissors for this purpose.

To store sweet peppers, it is necessary to select healthy fruits that do not have damage. The easiest way to do this is to spread the pods in a thin layer in some cool and well-ventilated area, such as a basement. After about a week, sick and weakened specimens will definitely manifest themselves - they will begin to rot.

Healthy peppers for disinfection are recommended to be treated with copper sulfate - just dip in a one percent solution and then dry directly in the air. It is most convenient to store them in boxes with a capacity of not more than 10 kg, which can be either wooden or made of other materials. The walls and bottom can be lined with wrapping paper, or you can wrap each pod individually in it.

If the temperature in the basement does not exceed 10 ° C, and the humidity is between 90 and 95%, the fruits will ripen within a month. Then you should lower the temperature to zero degrees - this will extend the storage for another two months.

If there is enough space in the basement, you can store peppers directly on the stems. To do this, the selected bushes with fruits are pre-sprayed with a one percent solution of vitriol, pulled out along with the roots and hung upside down.

Peppers can also be stored in the refrigerator. To do this, they are placed in plastic bags with small holes for air access. It should be borne in mind that red varieties last longer than green ones.

Hot pepper (syn. hot, red, chili)

Otherwise, bitter peppers are harvested and stored. They should be harvested only after reaching full maturity, when the pods acquire their true color - they turn red, orange or yellow.

Hot peppers are stored in a completely different way than their sweet relatives. The tissues of these varieties contain sharp and burning substances, which largely determine their specific taste. The riper the fruit, the more this bitterness, which acts as a natural preservative, is in it. Because of it, the pod is practically not subject to decay - it does not deteriorate, but gradually dries out. If required not very stinging and hot peppers, then it is quite possible to remove it from the branch unripe.

Hot peppers are most often stored in dried form - whole pods in boxes or boxes. But you can grind them and pour them into glass jars or paper bags. Some housewives tie each fruit with a thread by the tail and connect it into a bundle. It is convenient to hang such bundles somewhere in a cool and dark place.

There is another interesting way to store hot peppers - in vegetable oil. To do this, ripe, well-washed pods are placed in a glass vessel and poured with refined oil. After a couple of months, it forms a kind of fragrant tincture.

​To the beginning

A heat-loving native from a distant South America, pepper not only successfully took root in our climatic zones, but also firmly strengthened its position. On household plots, among the cultivated garden crops, sweet pepper is always present, and the area occupied by it cannot be called small. And he fell in love with gardeners for several reasons. Firstly, pepper fruits are truly a pantry of vitamins (A, E, C, groups B, P), carbohydrates, minerals (iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium, iodine and many others), essential oils and acids. In terms of vitamin C content, pepper is much superior to lemon, and there is more of it in autumn ripe fruits than in summer ones. Secondly, it is easy to care for throughout the growing season. In addition, pepper, although it belongs to the nightshade family, which is extremely susceptible to late blight, is not susceptible to this disease. More...​

Autumn, as they say, is the time when we harvest. Although, we often collect part of this very harvest in the summer. These are early varieties of vegetables and those vegetables that ripen completely just in summer.

Today we will talk about cleaning, which is also quite a popular culture, namely pepper, both its sweet variety and bitter.

Here, the variety, of course, plays a role in the ripening of this crop, but still, there are general points by which one can determine the degree of maturity of any variety of pepper.

Rules for harvesting pepper in the greenhouse and in the open field

Peppers should always be harvested on time. But, this very “time” is determined mainly by the type of pepper that you grow and why you do it in general. This is what determines the options for the maturity of pepper.

Two types of ripeness of pepper. What are they and how are they determined?

So, as we have already decided, there are only two of these types. This is the so-called technical maturity. When it occurs, pepper is removed from the beds if it is going to be further stored, transported, or later sold.

There is biological ripeness, this is what is called real ripeness, in another way it can also be called physiological. It is this type of ripeness that you need if, for example, you decide to cut a pepper into a salad.

At technical ripeness, the pepper is usually greenish. This “greenishness” can be dark, lighter, up to white. Also, with technical ripeness, the pepper may be yellow, but this is quite rare.

Biological maturity is more familiar to us. At this stage, the pepper can be of various colors. It is bright yellow, often red (the most familiar color for many of us), orange, sometimes purple and other colors.

When to harvest bell peppers and how to store them

If you grow sweet pepper (aka Bulgarian), which is also called vegetable, then you need to know these two types of its ripeness and be sure to be able to distinguish them. It happens that the sweet pepper could not be removed in time.

At the same time, he is already biologically mature. Then you need to do something with it as soon as you remove it from the branch, because you won’t be able to keep it for a long time.

Ripe sweet pepper lies just very bad. If you "did not miss" the sweet pepper and decided to collect it early, that is, when its ripeness has come, but only technical, then you can put it in storage.

If you keep it in suitable place, then there he will be able to lie completely up to 2 months and slowly ripen.

If you need a ripe pepper, then just take it out of the refrigerator (or from the cellar), put it in a well-lit place and very soon its color will change to a mature version.

How to clean hot pepper and how to store it?

It is best to harvest hot peppers when they are already biologically ripe. That way you can save it better. Indeed, in this state, the wall of the pod becomes thinner and no longer so fleshy.

So, the pod will dry out faster, and, therefore, will not rot. The successful drying of the pod, and hence its preservation, is facilitated by the burning substance that is present in the pods.

It is a kind of natural preservative. There is much more of this substance in ripe pods than in those that have not yet reached this ripeness.

If you know all these subtleties, then the hotness of the pods of bitter pepper can, as it were, be regulated. Maybe you don't need hot peppers at all.

Then it is quite possible to pluck it earlier, that is, when it is only at the stage of technical ripeness. If you like peppers that are very hot, then you need to wait until it is fully ripe.

​Related Articles​​In my garden, I usually plant no more than a dozen peppers of different varieties. At the same time, I try to place them as far apart as possible, separating them with tall tomatoes, sunflowers, and corn.

Pour the soil in which the peppers grow with water and feed the plants: for 10 liters of water, 10-12 g of ammonium nitrate and 15-20 g of potassium sulfate.

Wilting disease is manifested by leaf drop and is usually caused by fungi. In this case, the diseased plant is removed and burned.

All malformed ovaries are removed so as not to delay the development of healthy fruits.

Sowing seeds of pepper

Tents made of wooden blocks, cardboard, matting, burlap, roofing material and other materials are reliable protection. Bushes cover with tents in the evening and open in the morning when it gets warmer.

In order for the fruits to be better tied up, 2 g of superphosphate is added to each top dressing (under each root).

From the moment of spring tillage to planting seedlings in the ground, sometimes a month or more passes. Therefore, the earth is maintained in a loose and weed-free state, after each rain the top layer is loosened with a rake to prevent the formation of a crust and the evaporation of moisture. Along the way, germinated weeds are also destroyed. If there is no rain, then loosening is carried out as soon as weed shoots appear.

An excellent quality of bell pepper is that it is not moisture-loving. It does not need to be watered often, which makes it easier to care for seedlings. However, too dry conditions in film greenhouses can ruin the plant. When it does not get water, the flowers fall, which ultimately negatively affects the crop. If you do not have the opportunity to water the bell pepper in portions on time, create conditions in order to retain moisture. In this regard, mulching will help, otherwise, a mound of grass that is placed on the beds. Mulching also creates warmth and humus. If you use mulch, then the plant can be watered only three times a week.​

Vitamins P, C, B, B1, B9, potassium, magnesium, iodine, iron, chromium, calcium and many other trace elements make pepper indispensable in the fight for a healthy heart and blood vessels. Unfortunately, in pursuit of a large harvest, an industrial vegetable is saturated with pesticides. Therefore, it is better if you grow bell pepper yourself.

When pepper shoots appear, the weak ones are often removed and the stronger ones are left. During the next branching of the shoots, each of them is pinched again, leaving strong and strong shoots.

Seedling feeding

The birthplace of pepper is America - in areas where a tropical climate prevails, you can still find wild-growing individuals of pepper. ​

I noticed that the maximum yield is given by peppers that are grown through seedlings, on well-fertilized soft soil, with uniform moisture throughout the entire growing period. Usually I fertilize the soil with humus or compost for digging - 1.5 buckets per 1 sq. m. Subsequently, I feed with mullein or bird droppings, diluted with water 1:10 and 1:20, respectively. All this gives good results.​

helper plants

How to plant seedlings and create favorable conditions for growth?

Folk way

During frosts and prolonged cooling, temporary film shelters are used, as well as smoke and sprinkling. The material for the smoke heaps is selected so that it produces thick smoke. Sprinkling is especially effective if the installation provides a fine spray.​

Pepper gives more yield if it is fed with urea, and not with mullein.

The timing of planting pepper seedlings depends on weather conditions and the location of the site. On the southern slopes, on non-frost areas, they are planted earlier - in the middle or end of May. If the vegetable grower does not have means of temporary protection of plants from frost, then they start planting when the danger of frost has passed (not earlier than June 10-15).

The time that comes for gartering a plant, you can easily determine by the ripening of the crop. When the fruits are poured, they begin to bend the seedlings to the ground. It was at this time that you need to install a support for each bush and tie it with a rag ribbon.

Sweet pepper is not very whimsical, so it can be grown throughout Russia. Somewhere you will need to give it more heat, somewhere more nutrients, but, one way or another, its cultivation will not be a problem for you.

How and what to feed?

The plant is very thermophilic and at the same time moisture-loving. It represents the nightshade family and is distinguished by its capriciousness.

If you want peppers to be sweet, thick and shiny, do not be lazy to prevent diseases of this plant, but without chemicals.

For 10 liters of water, add 1 glass of wood ash and tobacco dust, insist for a day and filter well, add 2 tbsp. l. liquid soap and spray. Especially carefully - the inner surface of the leaves.

Harvest

How to increase the yield?

In some years, peppers bear fruit until October. It tolerates cold weather much better than a tomato.

"Lunch" for pepper

Peppers are best planted in a ribbon way. The distance between the ribbons is 50-60 cm, between the plants in a row - 15-25 cm. Early ripe, undersized varieties are placed in a row after 15 cm, or two plants per hole, but at a distance of 30-40 cm.

Pepper's little enemies

Stabbing is also an important and necessary process for bell pepper to give a wonderful harvest. It consists in breaking the branches on the stem of the plant from below. Otherwise, this is called the removal of stepchildren. This must be done in order to nutrients did not go to the growth of additional stems, but to the ripening of fruits. It is not worth tearing off stepchildren in the heat, since in such weather they, on the contrary, help the stem to cool.

There are different varieties of plants, and their choice depends on what kind of crop you want to harvest in the end. If you need the fruits of bell pepper for cooking all kinds of dishes and eating in its natural form, then you should opt for varieties such as Gladiator or Ermak.​

About the beneficial properties of pepper

1. Wormwood and tansy are harvested during flowering, cutting plants with stems. Half a bucket of green mass is boiled for 10-15 minutes in in large numbers water, let the broth cool, filter, bring to a volume of 10 liters and spray pepper bushes.
2. Experienced gardeners know what peppers need to be healthy.
3. For this:
4. Harvested fruits for one or even two months can be stored in a dry, moderately warm room.
5. I grow peppers in the garden. I noticed: growing this crop on raised beds 15-25 cm high and 70-90 cm wide in their upper part gives a high effect. Seedlings take root better on them, ripening is accelerated by 7-10 days, the yield at the first harvest is 30-50% more than on a flat surface.​

When to remove pepper from the greenhouse? (photo and video instruction)

The landing technique has a very great importance. Many vegetable growers are doing it wrong. First, a hole is made, seedlings are immersed in it, then the roots are covered with earth and watered. With such a planting, already on the second day, a crust forms at the place of irrigation, which enhances the evaporation of moisture from the lower layers of the soil, makes it difficult for air to reach the roots and beneficial soil microorganisms, and worsens the conditions for plant survival. Therefore, the vegetable grower is forced to water the seedlings almost daily until it takes root.

Pepper varieties

Greenhouse pepper care also consists in the qualitative removal of weeds that can inhibit seedlings, depriving them of nutrition and light. Not only weeding, but also mulching will help solve the problem. In the shade of chopped grass, harmful plants practically do not grow.

But "Medal", "Black Cardinal" and "Victoria" will suit you if the purpose of growing a plant is pickling. It is necessary to feed the plants every seven days with mineral fertilizers or compost, having prepared a solution in advance with the addition of water and a small concentration of fertilizer. After 15 days after planting, the first top dressing is carried out. You can use mullein, diluted in ten parts of water, with the addition of 25 g of superphosphate.​If you are partial to the process of planting cultivated plants, then tips on growing peppers will be very useful information.

If you are warm, let it grow

Growing seedlings and moving them to the greenhouse

Yarrow is harvested at the beginning of flowering, 1.5 kilograms of chopped greens are poured with 2-3 liters of boiling water, insisted for two days, filtered, brought to 10 liters. They also prepare infusions for processing peppers from tomato and potato tops. And for those who are taking their first steps in gardening, these tips, we hope, will help to figure out what the plants are blues from. Remove the central flower growing from the first branching of the bush pepper;

Pepper in the "sleeve"

Growing peppers in a greenhouse

And, of course, I make sure to feed my favorite culture.

The correct landing technique is as follows. First, using a cord or marker, mark the ribbons. Then, holes 10-12 cm deep are made along each row every 15-30 cm with a planting scoop or hoe. Each hole is watered at the rate of 0.5-1 l of water per plant. Potted or potless seedlings are planted in the resulting "dirt", covered with soil and compacted. From above, around the planted seedlings, peat or dry soil is poured with a layer of 3-4 cm. This loose layer serves as a mulch that will prevent moisture from evaporating from the hole and the lower soil horizon. After planting is completed, it is impossible to water the mulch layer - in order to avoid the formation of a soil crust.​

As for fertilizers, in this case you will have to work hard, because varieties of sweet peppers love versatile top dressing. In small quantities, fertilize the soil in film greenhouses should be weekly. It is necessary to take into account the fact that during the growing season the plant especially needs nitrogen-containing substances. As it matures, you need to add fertilizers with phosphorus. If aphids appear, fertilize with substances with potassium.

These the best varieties peppers for greenhouses are small in size, which fits comfortably in jars.​

5 liters of solution can be used per 1 m². You can also feed peppers with Sudarushka, Ideal, Biomaster fertilizers, chicken droppings.

So, we read about the secrets of growing sweet peppers.

Green, but they can walk in the warmth.

Peppers outside the greenhouse

100 g of fresh fruits of hot pepper are boiled in 1 liter of water in a saucepan under a closed lid for an hour, insisted for two days. Then the pepper is ground, the infusion is stirred, filtered and diluted 1:10.

If grown peppers are deficient in nitrogen, then the leaves turn pale, then turn yellow from the main vein to the edges and fall off. The fruits are thin-walled, curved in the form of a crescent.

Pepper care in the greenhouse

Improve pollination by spraying the plant during flowering with a solution of sugar or honey to attract pollinating insects.

In pepper, the greatest need for nitrogen is manifested before flowering and during mass ripening of fruits. Its deficiency is indicated by the pale green color of the upper leaves, yellowing and dying of the lower ones. I bring in two or three days before planting seedlings (or for spring digging) at 10-20 g per square meter. m of ammonium nitrate. I spend the first dressing three to four weeks after planting, the second - after the second or third harvest, before watering - 10-15 g / sq. m. Fertilizers can be dissolved in irrigation water. But you can not exceed the norm, since pepper accumulates excess fertilizer in the fruits in the form of nitrates.

"Lower" watering in the wells, the creation of a mulching layer around the plant ensures rapid establishment of seedlings, does not require subsequent daily watering, which inevitably happens with "upper" watering.

There are no specific rules that say that it is definitely time to remove pepper from the greenhouse. But the summer resident can easily recognize ripe peppers by appearance. It is necessary to collect it in film greenhouses together with the stalk. Take scissors and carefully cut the fruit. If your crop is large, then it makes sense to sort it. You need to remove and put a clean pepper in one pile, the damaged one will go for blanks - we put it aside in the second. And we remove the unripe in the third. Peppers should be harvested in the fall before the onset of frost. It should be borne in mind that different varieties and ripen in different ways. So, early ripe varieties should be removed starting from the 90th day of their life. Mid-season ripen at 110 - 130 days. And late-ripening peppers, respectively, need to be harvested after 130 days.

Greenhouse conditions, thanks to which the plant receives the necessary temperature for maturation, is not the only requirement for gardeners. The harvest of bell pepper ripens well when the plant develops in the soil specially prepared for it. However, it is not difficult to do this at all. The main thing is to create a new fertile layer. It is advisable if you bring into the greenhouse a layer of soil that was previously used for growing pumpkins, onions, carrots or cabbage. The addition of compost or manure is also encouraged. In addition, during the planting of seedlings, the use of industrial mineral fertilizers will not interfere. But for the presence of fungus and rot you need to look. Then you can harvest a rich pepper crop.

When to harvest?

It is important during fruiting to feed the plant with fertilizer, which contains more N and Ca.

You can grow peppers by seedlings. And for this it is necessary to sow the seeds in advance, 50-60 days earlier than the seedlings begin. Choose only fresh seeds for seedlings.

Harvest problems

We always remove gradually - they do not ripen evenly. We remove the green ones already before tearing out the bush.

100 g of chopped garlic (onion) pour 3 liters cold water, leave for 3 hours, add another 3 liters of water, filter and immediately process the plants.

Plants must be fed with slurry diluted with water 1:5, or ammonium nitrate (15-20 g per 10 liters of water).

Remember!

I take a rectangle of plastic film measuring 25 by 70 centimeters, sew it along the short side. It turns out a film sleeve 25 cm long. I dig a hole in the ground 30 cm deep. I line the bottom with turf.

Pepper especially needs phosphorus at the beginning of the growing season, when the underdeveloped root system of the plant cannot ensure its timely supply from the soil. I apply superphosphate as the main fertilizer during autumn or early spring digging up the soil, to a depth of 5-15 cm, 30-45 g / sq. m. Elevated soil temperature on the ridges improves the solubility of phosphates. True, superphosphate should be applied only on soils poor in phosphorus.

For better survival, the roots are dipped in a clay mash (if the seedlings were grown without picking).

A word of advice for those who want to harvest quickly: unripe fruits will sing faster when you cut off the top of the bush. It is then that the pepper itself will do everything to make the fruits ripen faster. Although you can still shoot an unripe vegetable. After a while, he will ripen.

Bulgarian pepper is a heat-loving and unhurried plant. Proper cultivation of pepper in a greenhouse also depends on the placement of seedlings in the garden. It is better to place it in the necessary conditions even before landing on the garden in February.

The flowering process in pepper lasts until the very frost. Do not allow the plant to overheat during flowering. The norm of temperature indicators is + 24- + 26 degrees.​
Pepper seeds are capricious, and therefore you need to take the process of growing seedlings with all responsibility. They can be sown in trays or pots, and then put in a warm place.
But I plant 50 bushes on such a bed. Literally after 15-20 cm, so many of them turn out.
Do I need to dive seedlings of sweet pepper? Many will answer: of course! However, not everyone knows that such technology is not always a boon, especially for delicate crops such as sweet peppers.​
Potassium deficiency? The lower leaves are yellow, the edges dry out, but remain green near the veins. Shoots stop growing, spots appear on the fruits.
Pepper does not like potassium chloride.
In the film sleeve, in the corners, I insert four pegs, three of which are five or six centimeters longer than the sleeve, and the fourth is very large - a meter high. The sleeve looks like a square. I deepen it by 6-7 cm and fix it with pegs in the prepared place. I fill the hole with fertile soil, seasoned with humus and fertilizer, but not to the top so that the water does not roll off during irrigation. From above it is desirable to put a layer of needles, sawdust. It turns out like a mine for planting vegetables. I plant two roots of pepper seedlings grown in advance in one - together they grow together more amicably. I tie bushes to the longest peg. I place mines one after another at a distance of 15-20 cm, between rows - 30 cm.
But pepper needs potassium from tying until the end of fruit ripening.
A great effect is the introduction of an organomineral mixture when planting in the well (200-300 g of humus or peat, 5-10 g of superphosphate and potassium salt each). After planting is completed, the aisles are loosened with a rake to reduce the evaporation of moisture from the soil.
Caring for pepper in a greenhouse is not only timely watering, but also a fight against problems. In the process of aging, peppers can experience various difficulties, get sick and suffer from pests. But if you take care of it in time, identify the cause of the problems and provide competent care, you can defeat any disease, any rot.
The seeds of the plant are placed in boxes, after a month they are transplanted into peat pots.
The plant has been grown, but now, for the purpose of good pollination, it needs a slight shaking during flowering. When fruits are formed, flowering slows down. Pepper stalks should be tied up during fruiting - this way you can protect them from breakage.
Before sowing, it is necessary to prepare the seeds of the plant, for this, treat the seeds in a 1% solution of manganese for 15 minutes, then rinse and place the seeds in a wet cloth for 2-3 days.
Depending on where you live. Pepper is very afraid of frost, even the slightest. In the meantime, there is no threat of frost, let it ripen. But plucked peppers are stored for a very long time in a cool, ventilated room.
After all, after this procedure, the growth of seedlings slows down - the roots of sweet pepper are very sensitive to the slightest mechanical influences.
Feed the peppers with potassium sulfate (10-15 g per 10 liters of water). And until they recover, do not apply fertilizers containing calcium and magnesium.
Top dressing from a barrel
And then all the work - watering and top dressing. Weeds practically do not grow in mines!​

Now about watering. Before the start of fruit formation, I water at the rate of two liters of water per day per 1 sq. m, during the period of mass fruit formation - 4-6 liters per sq. m. In a wet year, pepper requires only 3-4 waterings, in an average year - 5-7, in a dry year - 8-12. In general, during the growing season, the plant needs 400-550 liters of water per 1 sq. m. Depending on the conditions of the year, it is provided with precipitation by 20-60%, moisture reserves in the soil - by two or three, everything else - by irrigation. In a dry spring, I do preplant watering (20-30 liters per sq. M). Two days after planting the seedlings, for its better survival, I carry out refreshing watering - 10-15 liters per square meter. m, if there was a preplant, or 20-25 liters per sq. m, if there was none.
The root system of pepper is located shallow in the soil, and is very responsive to loosening. Air flow to the roots accelerates the growth and development of plants, activates the biological activity of soil microorganisms, and improves nutrition.​
So, yellow leaves will tell you about excessively dry air, even if the ground is moist. If the plant does not grow or flowering has stopped, the reason may lie in the cold. If you notice that the trunk and shoots become as if wooden, the fault is not suitable climatic conditions- temperature below +15 or above +30 degrees.​
This should be done when the bell pepper has a few leaves. They are planted in pots in pairs. For seedlings already at home, special care is needed. For example, you need to loosen the soil daily. But it is necessary to water moderately.
When the fruits are ripe, carefully pick them up, as they are very fragile. If, after harvesting the first crop, complex top dressing with mineral fertilizers is carried out, then a secondary crop awaits you ahead.

Pepper seeds are sown in containers at a short distance from each other, then covered with a film until the sprouts sprout.
Cool thriller. Such sniffing behind the scenes)))
To avoid this, try growing peppers without a pick. Soak the seeds beforehand in a solution of potassium permanganate or a growth stimulator, or simply hold them for several hours in warm water. Cut off the bottom corner of plastic bags from under sour cream so that water can drain and fold the bag in half - you will get narrow "glasses". After filling them with soil, place them tightly in a box or box. Pour the soil in bags with warm water with the addition of potassium permanganate, place 1-2 seeds in each of them and sprinkle with soil in a 1 cm layer. Carefully cover the box with foil and place in a warm place where the air temperature is 25-27 degrees.
With a deficiency of phosphorus, the leaves acquire a bluish-green hue, and then, together with the stems and petioles, become purple-red. After the leaves curl, the stem becomes thinner, flowering is delayed, and, accordingly, the harvest, and the roots are covered with a rusty coating.
During flowering, 6-7 kg of chopped nettle, plantain leaves, dandelion, wood lice, coltsfoot, 10 liters of mullein and a glass of wood ash are added to a 100-liter barrel. Fill to the top with water, mix and infuse for 7-10 days. Feed at the rate of 1 liter under a bush.

In autumn, after harvesting a bountiful harvest, I leave all mines in place. I don’t dig anything, because under them the earthworms are warm and satisfying. In the spring they wake up and begin their life-giving work. I remove the stakes, take out the sleeves, level the ground with a rake. Instead of polyethylene, you can use old boards, pieces of slate, and linoleum trimmings to build mines.
In August, when the bulk of the fruit is formed, pepper especially needs water. Moisture deficiency sharply reduces the yield. Depending on the rainfall, I water the pepper every 8-12 days. On hot days (but not in cold windy weather!) evening sprinkling of 10-15 liters per square meter gives good results. m. I stop watering the pepper 10-15 days before the last harvest.
Pepper roots do not like direct sunlight. When the plants bloom, you need to close the crowns. Do not plant sweet and hot peppers side by side, as they will all become bitter due to cross-pollination.
As for pests from the genus of insects, the enemies of pepper are aphids, thrips or the Colorado potato beetle. It is necessary to destroy them with special chemistry.
The ceremony of planting seedlings in the greenhouse should be done when the soil has already warmed up enough - around the end of April, if the plant has a sufficient number of leaves. And clean as it matures.
Pepper has the property of pollination, in this regard, do not plant bitter and sweet peppers next to each other. This can lead to the fact that bitterness can be transmitted to sweet.
The soil for pepper is chosen rich, with a high degree of fertility. To grow seedlings, it is important not to forget that the soil must be warm. So, the temperature of the soil should be at least 25 degrees Celsius. In addition, it must be kept moist until the seedlings emerge.
I live in Siberia. I grow peppers without a greenhouse. I always collect green - the way you have it now. If you already have frosts soon, collect them. If it is warm before the end of October, let it grow.
So that the earth does not dry out, check the soil moisture every day, monitor the condition of the crops. As a rule, shoots usually appear after 7-10 days. As soon as this happens, move the box to a bright, warm place and remove the film immediately. Five days after the emergence of seedlings, they must be fed with mineral fertilizers or peat oxidate. In the future, this should be done every 10 days. Water the seedlings as needed with warm, settled water. When the peppers grow up, the bags should be unfolded completely and the soil should be added to them.

At the first signs of starvation, dilute 0.8 g of ammophos and 2.8 g of potassium nitrate in 1 liter of water and water the plants.
During fruiting, 1 bucket of mullein and 1 glass of urea are poured into a 100-liter barrel, poured with water, mixed well and infused for 4-5 days. Pepper is watered at the rate of 5 liters per 1 m2.
T. V. LANDYSHEVA
I start watering on the beds 7-10 days earlier than on a flat surface, since here the evaporating surface of the soil is larger and the plants are more powerful.

Pepper does not tolerate frost on the soil. He does not tolerate a high level of groundwater and even short-term flooding. The soil in which the seedlings are transplanted should be structurally better than the one in which the seedlings grow.
If you want to remove blossom end rot, you should feed the plant with calcium fertilizer. This disease is considered a real pepper scourge.
The process of planting sweet pepper seedlings must be observed not only in accordance with calendar dates, but also with temperature conditions. So, the plant should be planted in soil warmed up to at least +18 degrees. By the way, if you are the proud owner of a heated greenhouse, then it makes sense to plant seeds immediately in the greenhouse.​
Pepper pests: (1-aphid, 2-Colorado potato beetle, 3-mites, 4-scoop).

Pepper seeds are sown in a warm and moist soil substrate (a depth of 1-2 cm is enough). To prevent the topsoil from drying out, cover the crop with polyethylene film. And after the first shoots of pepper sprout, the film can be removed.
No way, there is more sour cream.
By the time of transplanting to a permanent place, the seedlings are easily taken out of the bags and, together with a clod of soil, are transferred to the holes. This method allows you to sow seeds for seedlings not in February, as usual, but in mid-March.
Zinc deficiency manifests itself as yellowish-green spots that appear on old leaves, and then turn brown, later the leaves die off.
They do not doze off and are activated during flowering and at high humidity in the greenhouse. fight
Stepchildren went into action

Don't overfeed

By the time of transplanting into open ground, the bushes should be 25-30 cm high. The pepper bush develops better if it is not allowed to plant too deep. The root system should be as close to the ground as possible.
By the way, rot will inevitably occur if the greenhouse has high humidity and constant heat. But if the plant rots under normal conditions, then the virus is to blame. Preventive measures in this case are spraying healthy bushes with chemicals, but infected plants are also removed from the soil. Next, the earth needs to be covered with ash and loosened. At the same time, you can’t water it until it starts to crack.
Growing pepper in a greenhouse can be done in two ways. different ways: on the garden bed or in special polyethylene bags.​
Like any plant, pepper has its enemies. Representatives of flora harmful to pepper are aphids, mites, scoops, Colorado potato beetles, etc.
The seedlings are grown, now you need to think about feeding. Peppers are fed every ten days 2-3 times. The first time feeding is done when the seedlings have two leaves. And if a pick was previously carried out, then they are fed after two weeks, not earlier. To do this, use mineral fertilizers or compost, but the plant does not tolerate fresh manure. And if you want to protect the plant from diseases, then a phytosporin solution will be useful for this: 1.5 liters of water and 0.5 teaspoon of the solution. Protection is carried out along with the procedure for enriching the plant with mineral elements.

Try adding lemon juice

Tamara Georgievna VASILEVSKAYA, Brest region, Ivatsevichi district
To avoid this, spray peppers with "Kemira Lux" or "Kemira Combi" (1 g per 1 liter of water).
It is difficult with them, but necessary so as not to lose the entire crop.
I'll tell you how I got the hang of getting strong seedlings of peppers without much hassle.
They say you can't spoil porridge with butter. But it is not always the case. The more you feed peppers with slurry, the less they will yield.
Near each bush put low pegs. As it develops and forms a large number of fruits, it is tied up. The soil around the bush is regularly loosened. Pepper does not like hilling.

Growing a pepper crop is quite simple if you choose the right soil for it and apply the appropriate care. Peppers do not need complex and multi-stage care, but it is important to know their strengths and weaknesses. It is then that the harvest of this crop will give you moral satisfaction from the grown quantity, and its high quality will supply you with vitamins for the whole year.​

Growing sweet pepper requires the creation of competent beds that will allow it to grow freely, and make it easier for you to care for it. How many beds you will have and what will be their size, you determine yourself in accordance with the design of the greenhouse. It could also be a greenhouse. However, it’s not worth making them too high - it’s enough to raise the ground up to 20 cm. The shape of the raised layer can be preserved with the help of the sides, on the borders of which put wooden slats, the height of which should match the bed.
The scoop is one of the most common pepper pests. It is difficult to fight with it, since there are a large number of its varieties and the period for the release of larvae is extended for a long time.
Pepper seedlings will please you with a bountiful harvest, if at times hardening is done by the sun's rays, as well as aeration of the soil (weeding). Therefore, periodic loosening will not interfere.
Add hot pepper and fried garlic.
If you dream of a good harvest of peppers, I advise you not to remove the film from the plants in the garden at all. But on one condition - air the peppers daily at the hottest time of the day.

If the plants lack iron, then on carbonate, "phosphated" or over-limed soils, young peppers change color, the tissues between the green veins turn yellow or white, becoming as if reticulated.

• It was early autumn in some year. It's freezing outside - and my peppers are still full of peppers. I chose the strongest plants and transplanted them into pots. I left the largest peppers on the bushes, and pinched off the small ones and the flowers. And for some time I had fresh bell peppers for salads, although not as juicy as from a real garden.

Sweet pepper. Tips for care and cultivation

The length of the bed of bell pepper can be from the beginning to the end of the greenhouse, but it is better to make the width such that two bushes fit on it. So access to each bush will be optimal. The very same distance between plants should ideally be 30 cm, which will ensure freedom of ripening.

Aphids and the Colorado potato beetle can harm the plant less, however, a high degree of infestation with these pests leads to slower growth and deformation of the fruit. Moreover, affected plants become a place for the spread of fungal and viral diseases.

On the sixtieth day, seedlings can already be planted in the ground. The ideal time for planting pepper seedlings in open ground is the first half of June, because by this period the danger of frost is reduced to almost nothing.

Pepper pests

Boil rice in a bag. takes away the bitterness egg.. Lower carefully raw (without shell) on a spoon with a grate, boil and take out ...​
At the same time, the soil in the beds must be loosened shallowly - no more than 5 cm, which will provide air access to the root system.

Sick plants need a shower from a solution with "Kemira Combi" or "Kemira Lux" (1 g per 1 liter of water).
This is the most dangerous pest, literally sucking juice from plants. Chemical methods of struggle - treatment with the preparations "Iskra", "Commander" and others according to the instructions and only before the start of fruiting.

When I noticed that the bushes began to shed their leaves, slowed down in development (in December-January), let them "sleep", watered infrequently - just so as not to dry out. And the numbers of February 15-17 decided to wake them up.
Yu.P. ANANEV, Samara

The method of planting sweet peppers in polyethylene containers creates individual, comfortable conditions for the plant. In this case, you will not need beds, and there will be a constant temperature inside the bag. This will have a positive effect on the crop, as the seedlings will not experience daily temperature changes. This method of growing bell pepper is relevant if it is not possible to make fertile soil in the entire greenhouse for some reason.
In order to avoid infection of pepper with pests, you should not miss the time of their first appearance. Treat the plant immediately if you notice them. After all, only healthy seedlings of pepper guarantee a good harvest.
It is necessary to plant a plant in one row, keep the distance between plants - 30 - 40 cm, and between rows - 45 - 60 cm. It is undesirable to plant sweet pepper in hot weather, this will cause the leaves to dry out and the plant will wither.

Oh, I don’t know, I’m probably burning up not to help ... sorry for the borscht.
I usually water peppers from a watering can once every 10 days at the rate of 10 liters per 1 square meter. I take warm water for irrigation - at least 20-25 degrees. And if you overmoisten the soil, you won’t have to wait long for pepper diseases. Powdery mildew will appear, and the death of plants is inevitable. However, the lack of moisture leads to the fall of the ovary. Remember this!​

What's going on, "sick"?

I fed it with micronutrient fertilizers and a growth stimulator, my husband hung a fluorescent lamp over them, and the peppers came to life. A few days later stepchildren appeared on each bush. I let them grow up to 10 centimeters, then cut them off and put them in water. After a week and a half, roots appeared. While they were growing up, I prepared "apartments" for them - seedling pots. Transplanted "young" into the ground, covered plastic bags to keep them warm. In April-May, the bags were removed for the day. Little by little I fed it with mineral fertilizers, and when the snow melted in the country house and it became possible to get to a pile of mullein, I brought it home a little, poured it with a solution as well.

Bush formation

Atmospheric precipitation cannot in any way affect the frequency of irrigation. They only help the grower by reducing the irrigation rate. An exception may be torrential or heavy rains, which provide as much moisture as when watering.

By the way, for the first time this vitamin was isolated from pepper fruits. Pepper - comes from the tropics, but even in our climatic conditions it feels at home thanks to timely and proper care.

Summer residents should remember that sweet pepper, although unpretentious, can hardly tolerate transplants. Therefore, it is necessary to place its seedlings in greenhouse conditions directly in peat pots. This planting system is ideal as you won't disturb the plant's root system and create additional fertilizer when the peat begins to decompose.​

Pepper is high in ascorbic acid and vitamin A. According to the content of vitamin C, it is ahead of both lemon and blackcurrant.

Borsch can no longer help. An egg, rice is all useless, the only way out is to eat it like that, if you can, of course.

Oleg Fedorovich KRASNOV, Mogilev

If peppers build up a powerful leaf mass, and there are few ovaries, this indicates an excess of nitrogen.

A lot is also bad

It also sucks the juice from pepper leaves. The method of struggle is spraying with the Iskra-Bio preparation when pests appear before fruiting. In any phase of pepper development, treatment with an infusion of garlic or onion and dandelion leaves is also effective (one glass of finely chopped garlic or onion and dandelion leaves is diluted in 10 liters of water, 2 tablespoons of liquid soap are added, the plants are filtered and sprayed).

You should have seen what a beautiful seedling I had by the time it was planted in the ground! And she gave more harvest than usual.

Reappearing stepchildren and flowers that form in the lower part of the plant before its first branching are constantly cut off. They delay the development of the upper part of the bush, on which the main formation of fruits occurs.

Sprinkler irrigation is not performed.

Pepper bed

If it turns out that your pepper does not grow in special pots, it should be planted along with a clod of earth that forms around its roots. At the same time, 1.5 liters of water must first be poured into the hole. Then the hole must be covered with dry earth. Ideally, sprinkle mulch on top.

The presence of a substance called "rutin" has a beneficial effect on the human blood vessel system.

You don't have to dive

Pinching, that is, pinching the top and removing extra flowers on peppers of such varieties as New Gogoshary, Golden Anniversary, Golden Medal, Gift of Moldova, is done as soon as 7-10 fruits are tied, and on Kolobok - 12-15. Then each pepper will receive in full the heat, light, and nutrients "owed" to it. If you leave the entire ovary, then almost 80 percent of it will go to waste in the fall, since the fruits will not be able to ripen. Extra branches are also removed - they also take a lot of nutrition from the plant.

The best watering time is in the morning. If it was cold at night, then water it with warm water. If the nights are warm, then in the evening they are watered with warm, settled water in a barrel at the rate of 10 liters (bucket) per 15-20 bushes on clay and heavy loamy soils and 1 liter each on sandy and sandy soils. Watered only after loosening and very carefully, from a ladle. First, on the one hand, in order to avoid the formation of a crust around the entire bush, and the next day, after loosening the side of the bush watered the day before, on the other hand. This contributes to the uniform development of the root system.

Pepper succeeds in sunny beds, lags behind in growth in the shade, does not give a crop.

There is one care for pepper in the greenhouse, and another in the open field. If the climatic conditions are such that you can afford to grow a rich crop outdoors, then a greenhouse is not necessary. In any case, even in open ground, some summer residents cover seedlings with non-woven material, which they stretch over arcs. If it is less than +15 degrees outside, it makes sense to cover the impromptu greenhouse with a film so that the condensate does not fall on the plants.

If you take sweet pepper with food every day, it will improve hair growth, vision, skin.

Constant access to sunlight will allow the plant to develop and grow normally. In order for the pepper to develop well, provide additional illumination, provide seedlings with a 12-hour day.

Let's get rid of dampness

You can add a spoonful of sugar ...

There is an unusual way to get more squat and strong seedlings of peppers. It was demonstrated by graduates of the Hadlow Agricultural College at the Chelsea flower show in the UK.​

Small leaves of a dark green color indicate a supersaturation with potassium.
​Excess nitrogen fertilizers can lead to the reproduction of aphids and the accumulation of large doses of nitrates in pepper fruits.

Picking fruits

It is best to keep peppers under lutrasil all summer. In any weather, it maintains an ideal microclimate in the greenhouse, saves from heat and cold, and does not allow the soil to dry out.

Top dressing

The best predecessors for pepper are cucumber, peas, beans, beans, cabbage, table root vegetables. Do not place pepper after potatoes and tomatoes. Soil cultivation for growing pepper begins in the fall, immediately after harvesting the previous crop. The site is freed from plant residues, manure or compost is applied at the rate of one bucket per square meter. m with the addition of 20-30 g of superphosphate. They dig to a depth of 20-25 cm.

Only those plants that have reached the age of 60 days can be in the open ground. It should be planted at a distance of 40-50 cm. Otherwise, the bushes will be crowded.

The plant does not tolerate strong winds or drafts, you can not plant it in partial shade. Under such conditions, it will stretch in length, which will interfere with the normal development and fruiting of the plant.

Is it worth it now to clean the pepper?

Misha Chaikin

I'm afraid that already

Hedgehog

It turned out that if you gently run a cardboard or hand back and forth over the plants (no more than 20 times a day), the plants will grow squat and strong. The method is called "light touch". Its "authors" believe that when irritated by touch, ethylene gas is released from the leaves, which stops the growth of plants. This method effective for seedlings of flowers and vegetables.

Spare no water, pour over the peppers and feed them with ammophos - 15 - 20 g per 10 liters of water.

The first fruits of pepper are not removed until they reach technical ripeness. Excessive injury to the bush affects its fruiting. The collection of immature fruits, the stalks of which do not come off well (the ripe fruit is easily removed), can damage the stem or part of it, on which by this time a lot of ovaries have formed that can grow into large fleshy fruits in 2-3 weeks.

Two weeks after planting in the ground, the first top dressing is carried out (one teaspoon with a tubercle of urea, two teaspoons with a tubercle of superphosphate per 10 liters of water, one liter for each bush). The second top dressing - during the period of mass flowering: one teaspoon with a tubercle of urea, one matchbox of superphosphate and one teaspoon of potassium salt or potassium sulfate. All this is dissolved in 10 liters of water and watered 1 liter under a bush. The third top dressing is given when the fruits on the first branch have reached technical ripeness, at the rate of two teaspoons with a tubercle of superphosphate and two teaspoons of potassium salt or potassium sulfate.
In the spring, as soon as the soil ripens and stops smearing, they start digging. If organic fertilizers have not been applied since autumn, then the soil is fertilized (a glass of ash per bucket of humus). They dig to a shallower depth than in autumn, carefully choosing weeds and pest larvae (beetles, wireworms, etc.).

If you want to grow a bountiful crop of pepper, then you must also consider that this plant needs warm soil. To do this, treat the beds and raise them to a level of 40 to 70 cm. Timely weeding will help the pepper develop faster.

Slugs eat the leaves and damage the fruit. Pollination of the soil with ground hot pepper or dry mustard (1 teaspoon per square meter) helps to fight them. In pest control, foliar fertilizing with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers (10 g per 10 liters of water) and ventilation of greenhouses are also good.

The main fruit formation occurs from the end of July - the beginning of August. Therefore, properly and timely prepare the plant for mass fruiting. August is the most auspicious month for mass production. From the first fruits of pepper, which were formed back in June-July, high-quality seeds are obtained for future sowing. Pepper can not be removed, if possible until October 15th. However, pepper does not tolerate frosts on the soil.

Closer to autumn, pepper plants should be protected from the first frosts.

If the seedlings are stunted after top dressing, foliar top dressing with urea is done every morning or evening for a week at the rate of two to three teaspoons per 10 liters of water. If it is not possible to feed daily, then one or two feedings are carried out at the rate of 30 g of urea per 10 liters of water from a sprayer or from a watering can with a net.

The beds are made during spring digging. On heavy, cold soils, they must be high in order to warm up well and provide water and air conditions.
