Choosing the best varieties of sweet and hot peppers for 2020 according to the advice of experts

Large-fruited peppers always attract culinary experts and gardeners. The first ones like the fact that one vegetable can make a significant portion of a delicious dish. The second - expect a good harvest from such a variety. Denis F1 is one such productive crop. When describing it, many farmers list many positive properties. The material will acquaint the reader with all the qualities of the plant, the rules for planting and subsequent care.

Characteristics of the variety

Dawn is an early maturing and medium-sized variety. Already after 90-95 days, the bush gives its first fruits.

• unpretentiousness to growing conditions;
• ease of care;
• high level of disease resistance.

The fruits can be transported over long distances. They do not deteriorate during transportation.

Dawn can grow both in open ground and in greenhouses. Vegetable crops are grown both at home and on an industrial scale.

The only drawback of culture is that it is afraid of severe frosts. If the temperature drops below -20 ° C in winter, the plant is grown only in greenhouses.

Description of the bush

The bush is slightly leafy, that is, there are a small number of leaves on it, it is semi-sprawling. Reaches 45-55 cm in height.

• medium size;
• rich dark green color;
• slightly wrinkled.

One plant can have 8-9 fruits at a time. That is, from 1 sq. about 40 vegetables are harvested.

Description of the fetus

The fruits of the Dawn variety are drooping, have a prismatic shape, and are smooth.

Other characteristics of the fruit:

• large (weight - up to 130 g);
• fleshy;
• juicy;
• delicious.

The color changes as it matures. At first, the peppercorns can be light yellow, closer to the period of technical maturation - bright red.

The fruits are often eaten fresh, but are also used to make vegetable stews, lecho or pies. Stuffed peppers can be made from it. The fruits are great for preservation.

Description of the bush and fruit

The player is an early variety, from the appearance of the first shoots to the ripening of the fruits, it takes about 3.5 months.

The fruits are beautiful, glossy, with a rich bright red hue, have thick walls of about 0.9-1.2 cm. The shape of the peppers resembles a cube, their ribbing is average, gaining weight about 130-150 g. They have a pleasant sweet taste.

Vegetable bushes of this variety are semi-sprawling, grows of medium height (about half a meter). Leaves are slightly wrinkled, small in size, dark green in color.

Planting pepper Dawn

Areas sheltered from the wind are suitable for planting. It is important that the plants are not in the shade.

Zorka peppers cannot be planted where tomatoes, eggplants and potatoes used to grow: they are affected by the same diseases, pests that can overwinter in the ground and infect new plantings.

Before planting, you do not need to fertilize the soil, especially nitrogen fertilizers and fresh manure: this can lead to the growth of the plant itself, which will negatively affect the yield of the bush.

Plants need sunlight

It is better to prepare in the fall:

• remove the remnants of previous crops;
• dig up a section of soil where Zorka is planned to land;
• apply fertilizers (superphosphate, wood ash, humus).

In the spring, before planting, the soil is only loosened. They are planted in open ground when frosts pass.

Before planting, holes are prepared, 2 liters of water are poured into each. Seedlings are taken out of the pots, buried in the holes a little deeper.

Vegetables are planted at a distance of 35-40 cm from each other. The optimal distance between the beds is 60-65 cm.

Watering

Watering begins at the stage of planting in open ground. Seedlings are watered abundantly before removing from the pots.

The first time after planting is watered every 2 days. It is important not to damage young plants with a strong pressure of water; it is better to perform root watering by means of drip irrigation.

Watering is carried out in the early morning or evening so that the water is absorbed, and not instantly evaporated.

During the harvesting period, they are watered less often - once every 5 days. They are guided by soil moisture and air temperature.

Loosening and weeding

Loosening and weeding is carried out to remove weeds and enrich the soil with oxygen. An unsharpened hoe is often used.

Loosening is not carried out in the first 2 weeks after planting the pepper in the ground, since the thin roots can be severely damaged.

Then they are loosened one day after watering or depending on the overgrowth with weeds. During the fruiting period, you can huddle each pepper separately.

Top dressing

After planting, the Zorka pepper needs nutrients. He is fed 3 times. The first time - 10-12 days after planting in the ground. It is best to use a mixture of slurry (chicken droppings) and mineral fertilizers. Instead of manure (droppings), you can add ammonium nitrate.

Recipe for manure-based solution (droppings):

• in 10 liters of water, 1 liter of chicken manure (or 2 liters of manure), 50 g of superphosphate, 20 g of potassium chloride, 200 g of wood ash are diluted;
• let it brew for 1-2 hours;
• take 300 ml of solution for 1 bush.

Recipe with ammonium nitrate: 15 g of ammonium nitrate, 50 g of superphosphate and 20 g of potassium chloride are diluted in 10 liters of water. You do not need to insist, you must immediately apply at the root.

The second feeding is done when the ovary appears. Under each bush, 1 liter of manure diluted in water in a ratio of 1:10 is poured.

For the third time, the vegetable crop is fed when the fruits are ripe. The recipe is the same as for the first feeding.

Growing rules

Denis peppers are sown on seedlings in late February or early March. From the moment the seedlings emerge, the seedlings are grown for a month and a half and, in the budding phase, are sent to a permanent planting site.

Important! When hardening seeds, remember to keep them slightly moist.

Selection and preparation of seeds

The F1 marking always indicates a hybrid. Thus, there is no point in harvesting seeds from the previous harvest - the traits of these plants will not be passed on to the new generation. Each time it is necessary to purchase packages of seeds from the manufacturer. It is very important to ensure that the seeds are of high quality, without rot and plaque, and of the same size. Before they are planted for seedlings, they must be sorted out and low-quality material must be rejected.

It is also advisable to test the seeds for germination. To do this, you need to choose ten pieces, put them in cloth bags and immerse them in warm water for 24 hours. The seeds removed from the water are then placed on a flat plate and placed in a warm place (temperature not lower than + 30 ° C), keeping the bags moist for another 3-4 days. If during this time at least half of the seeds hatched, then germination will be good.

Depending on the conditions of the future planting, the farmer decides whether to disinfect the seeds or not. This can be done in a strong solution of ordinary potassium permanganate, having got the seeds in it for about half an hour. Hardening of seeds is considered mandatory and consists in exposing the seed to variable temperatures during the week.

The seeds are placed in the refrigerator for several days on the lower shelf (temperature is about + 5 ° C).Then they take it out and put it in a warm place for a day (not higher than + 18 ° C), then again in the refrigerator for several days. Already from the refrigerator, seeds are sown for seedlings.

Preparing the land for seedlings

For seedlings to sprout well, you need the right land.

Did you know? The well-known allspice is the dried berries of an evergreen tropical tree.

There are several options for the correct composition of the soil:

1. Two parts of peat are mixed with two parts of humus and one part of finely ground sawdust.
2. The same, but without sawdust.
3. Three pieces of humus with two pieces of turf.
4. One part of sod land mixed with two parts of dung.
5. Special soil for pepper from the store.

There is nothing wrong with purchasing ready-made soil, but be prepared for the fact that the composition will not be ideal and even fully consistent with the declared one.

Seedling care

In the prepared boxes, the soil is laid in a layer of 10 cm, then it is watered with a solution of potassium permanganate. After 12 hours, the soil can be leveled and compacted. Then longitudinal furrows are made with a step of 5 cm, seeds are dropped into them. The distance between the seeds is 2 cm, the depth of the planting is 1–1.5 cm. The planting is covered with a small layer of soil from above and watered with warm water.

Seedlings are always watered only with settled water at room temperature once a week. As soon as the first real leaves appear (in a month), a pick is carried out: the sprouts are planted in separate pots with a volume of 0.5 liters.

Several times you can feed seedlings with complex fertilizers, for example, Floromix-P. It is important that they contain more trace elements and calcium. If it is not possible to purchase such mixtures, you can use organic improvised means. The air temperature should not exceed + 18 ° С and fall below + 16 ° С. It is important that the seedlings are not in the sun for the first week, otherwise the sprouts will stretch out, preventing the root system from growing stronger.

Important! Watering the seeds must be done very carefully so as not to wash the planting material.

Features of planting seedlings in the soil

By the time the seedlings go to their permanent place, the sprouts should have 8-12 leaves. This is usually the beginning or mid-May. If the soil is open, for the first time the seedlings are covered in order to protect them from recurrent frosts. Two days before planting, the pots with seedlings are well watered so that the earthen lump is not sprinkled. Do not do this before boarding.

Description and characteristics of the variety

Sweet pepper Zorka is popularly called bell pepper. It was included in the State Register of the Russian Federation in 2004. The cultivar can grow in open or closed ground. A greenhouse or shelter is needed in cold regions with the risk of prolonged frost.

The bush is low, reaches 45-55 cm, semi-spreading. There are few leaves on it, the leaf is dark green, slightly wrinkled. Fruits are arranged drooping, tips down. 8-9 peppers ripen on the plant at the same time. Technical maturity occurs 90-95 days after full germination, early variety.

The fruits are large, red at maturity, weighing 100-130 g. They have thick fleshy walls of 6-8 mm. The shape is prismatic. The taste is excellent, the taste is sweet and rich, the fruits are juicy. They are suitable for cooking, stuffing, fresh consumption, freezing and preservation.

The difference between a variety and a hybrid of pepper

The best varietal peppers have pronounced external characteristics and taste, they are adapted to certain growing conditions (place, temperature, watering), and from a biological point of view, they have the same set of genes. The seeds of such peppers can be harvested and germinated next year. From this, their properties and appearance do not change.

Hybrids are the result of crossing varieties. Such peppers are capable of producing an improved yield - the fruits are thicker or juicy, or sweet, or maybe all at once. Also, such seeds are capable of producing a high yield. But there is no point in collecting seeds.Subsequent germination will not give any positive results.

Landing

Seeds are planted at the end of February or March. The seedling soil should be nutritious, loose and well-drained.

The seeds are treated with a solution of "Fitosporin", potassium permanganate or aloe juice to protect against fungi. Then germination is stimulated with the help of "Epin" or "Zircon". Germinate seeds in a warm place, then you can lower the temperature a little. In the phase of 2-3 leaves, the bushes are transplanted into individual containers.

The pepper plot is prepared in the fall. It is cleaned of old tops, dug deeply and introduced superphosphate, humus and wood ash. The holes are made according to the scheme 35 by 60 cm or 40 by 65 cm.About 2 liters of water are poured into each and the seedlings are planted in moist soil.

General form

Zorka pepper can be called one of the most popular varieties. The variety is successfully grown by gardeners in various regions of Russia. Pepper is valuable for its resistance to the vagaries of the weather and high yield.

• amicable ripening of fruits.

Pests and diseases

In case of violations of agricultural technology and care, pepper can suffer from:

• black legs;
• late blight;
• mosaics;
• brown spot.

To protect against them, it is necessary to observe crop rotation and not plant peppers in the beds after other nightshade crops (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants) or cucumbers. Moderate watering is needed, in greenhouses - ventilation. Balanced feeding and preventive spraying with biofungicides against fungi are required. To protect against viruses, you need to disinfect your gardening tools and soil before planting.

Pests that threaten pepper are aphids, spider mites, larvae of various butterflies, bear, slugs.To protect against them, it is useful to plant strong-smelling crops around the beds - marigolds, basil, onions. When pests appear, the bushes are treated with soapy water, a decoction of onion husks, garlic pulp or celandine. Sprinkle the soil with hot pepper and mustard powder against slugs. If the pest infestation is very strong, pesticides are used.

Variety history

The manufacturer of this variety is considered to be agrotechnical. When breeding the variety, the breeders set themselves the task of getting a pepper that would be resistant to adverse weather conditions, temperature changes, the fruits would ripen together, and the yield would be high.

The bred Gambler variety has all of the above advantages, therefore, after being included in the State Register, this vegetable plant quickly became popular among summer residents from different regions of Russia and was grown in open ground even in regions with cold climates such as the Urals, Siberia and the Leningrad Region.

Harvesting and application of the crop

Sweet peppers have two types of maturity: technical and biological. Depending on the purpose for which the crop was grown, choose the appropriate type. Technical is the state of the product when it can already be collected for storage, transportation and subsequent sale. Vegetables store well and can wait several months in a cool cellar or refrigerator, gradually ripening.

Biological maturity is fully ripe fruits with rich color and pronounced taste. Usually at this stage, the harvest is harvested for themselves in order to immediately eat it or make preparations for the winter. Since the flesh of the fruit is very elastic, the Denis peppers are suitable for preservation both as an independent dish and as ingredients in salads, borsch dressings, etc. They also make an excellent aromatic lecho.

Important! Fruits at the stage of physiological maturity are not subject to long-term storage.

Pepper Denis F1 is worth all the efforts expended on it, since few can compare with this variety in terms of juiciness, elasticity, taste and versatility of use. As a hybrid, a vegetable combines many useful features: large fruit size, high yield, early ripening and excellent taste. All these nuances will appear with the correct selection of soil and good care. But the result will not disappoint you.

Dependence of choice on the region

Agrofirms experts recommend gardeners to purchase seeds that are bred in their region. These peppers have been tested in local conditions, they adapt well to temperature, soil, air humidity and other environmental parameters.

Agrotechnical cultivation

For cultivation, it is better to use heated film shelters or special planting pots. After sprouting seedlings, the pepper needs a pick.

When buying home-grown seeds or self-harvesting planting material, you need to prepare it for planting. This process includes the following steps:

• calibration;
• disinfection using special chemicals.

If the seeds were purchased at specialized points of sale, then they have already gone through all the necessary processing.

It is also important to prepare the ground for the dive. It should be loose and contain the required amount of organic fertilizers. The variety tolerates transplanting quite firmly, so this stage is mandatory for better growth of the bushes.

For germination of seedlings, peppers are sown about 65–70 days before the expected time of changing the soil. The most suitable temperature for timely seed germination is 26-28 ° C.

The calculation of the number of plants for the entire planting area is based on the number of 5-7 bushes per 1 sq. meter of earth.

Features of agricultural technology

When choosing a method for growing a hybrid, you should focus on seedlings. Cultivation basics:

• seeds are sown 70 - 80 days before the planned time of moving to a permanent place;
• before planting, the seedlings are hardened for 7 to 10 days;
• pepper is cultivated in beds where sunlight is diffused;
• to irrigate the soil, you need to take warm, settled water;
• the bushes are fed at least 3 times with a frequency of 2 - 3 weeks;
• peppers are strengthened with props and tied to trellises.

High-quality planting material is the key to getting a good harvest

The choice of seeds must be approached responsibly, giving preference to products from manufacturers with a good reputation.

This will make it possible to obtain planting material that has been treated with microelements, antifungal drugs, and growth stimulants. Information on carrying out such procedures is indicated by the manufacturer on the packaging.

Seeds harvested by the gardener on their own will have to be pre-disinfected, processed before planting using purchased formulations to stimulate growth, improve germination, resistance to diseases, and bad weather. Also, the aging of pepper seeds in decoctions of tree resin, nettle has proven itself well.

After completing the preparatory processing of the seeds of the selected varieties, pepper hybrids, you can proceed to their germination. First, you need to put the seeds on wet foam rubber (rag) to swell, then plant them in containers for seedlings. It is also possible to plant germinated seeds, in which the hatched roots are visible. To improve the properties of seeds, they can be hardened before planting.

Testimonials

Summer residents love hybrid crops, but they do not always manage to acquire really high-quality seed material.

Maria, Chaplygin: “I am a novice amateur gardener. Last spring I tried to grow pepper for the first time. My choice fell on Denis f1, as he was characterized in the best way in the seed shop. Seedlings were planted in a greenhouse. The pepper did not disappoint me, showed high germination and gave a good harvest, the fruits were large, as in the photo, and juicy. I will definitely buy these seeds next year. ”

Alexey, Samara: “I have been growing this pepper for several years. The bush grows 0.8-1 m, the leaves are large, 6-7 fruits ripen on the plant, the color is red. I grow only in a greenhouse. You can get fruits weighing 400 g, but for the normal formation of such a pepper on the bush, you will have to leave 3-4 pieces. I got a Denis maximum of 320 g. I recommend the variety. "

Tatiana, Orlov: “I bought pepper seeds Denis f1, and they turned out to be fake. I did everything according to technology, but the seedlings did not sprout. Consider the seeds carefully before planting so as not to waste your time. "

Preparation for growing

To grow Denis f1, it is necessary to purchase new seeds annually, since the hybrids do not transmit their characteristics to the next generations.

Planting material must be of the same size, without rot and plaque, have a stock for the shelf life. Before planting, the seeds are sorted out and low-quality ones are thrown away.

It is advisable to test seeds for germination:

1. Take 10 pieces, put them in cloth bags in warm water for 24 hours.
2. Take it out and put it on a flat surface in a warm place (temperature not lower than 30 ° C).
3. Keep the bags moist for another 3-4 days. If 5 seeds out of 10 hatched during this period, then you will have good germination.

Before planting, the seeds are disinfected using a solution of potassium permanganate, and they are also hardened by successive exposure to low and high temperatures for 7 days.

Another factor determining yield, Is the quality of the soil used. There are several ways to get the correct soil composition:
