    Product description
    :
    Pepper originates from Mexico and Central America. Initially, it was grown as a spice – Turkish pepper. It was brought to Europe in the 16th century, where since the 17th century it has been cultivated as a medicinal and spicy plant. In addition to its medicinal properties, it has a high nutritional value. In regions with a cold climate, pepper used to be cultivated only in greenhouses and tunnels, today there are new resistant varieties suitable for growing without shelter.
    Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is an annual plant belonging to the Solanaceae family. The shape, color, and size of the fruit are varietal features. The homeland of pepper is Central and South America, where it was grown long before the expeditions of Columbus.
    Pepper used to be often used as a medicinal and spicy plant. It is a valuable vegetable with a wide range of applications, because in addition to cooking it has great nutritional value.
    Useful qualities of pepper fruits:
    Contain a lot of vitamin C – more than most vegetables. The largest amount of ascorbic acid is found in mature red paprika. The fruits of field crops contain more vitamin C than in greenhouses.
    Paprika is rich in vitamin E, which is an antioxidant.
    They contain vitamins B1, B2.
    They are rich in provitamin A, magnesium, iron, and calcium.
    They contain a lot of fiber useful for digestion.
    Capsaicin is responsible for the taste and sharpness of bitter pepper – an antiseptic and antioxidant.
    Types and varieties
    The most common are 2 groups of peppers:
    large-fruited (sweet pepper),
    small-fruited (hot pepper).
    A popular variety type of sweet paprika is Bulgarian pepper.
    Varieties are divided depending on the color, size, shape of the fruit, thickness of the pulp. Fruits are colored in red, orange, yellow, purple, white.anie-v-otkrytom-grunte
    Instructions for planting and care:
    Cultivation and care
    In order to grow pepper in the open ground, collecting a good harvest, you need to provide the necessary conditions. Success in cultivating this vegetable is determined by choosing the right position and patient, professional care.
    Growing conditions
    Pepper makes high demands on the temperature of the air and soil. Unsuitable conditions cause growth disorders, a decrease in the number of flowers, a deterioration in the quality of the crop, the formation of fruits without seeds.
    Temperature regime
    The optimal air temperature for pepper growth is:
    26 °C in the afternoon;
    16 °C at night.
    At temperatures below 1 °The plants are dying. When planting, the soil should be warmed up to at least 17 ° C. Therefore, pepper seedlings grown at home are necessary for growing in the open ground. Seedlings are planted in the soil at the turn of May – June. Pepper requires even more heat during the formation of flower buds, flowering and fruit setting.
    Humidity
    Optimal soil moisture should be 70-80% of the lowest moisture capacity (HB). Violations of the irrigation regime lead to adverse consequences:
    Prolonged droughts are dangerous for the plant. They can cause fruit shedding, fetal deformities.
    Insufficient humidity can contribute to the appearance of dry rot of fruits.
    Excessive amount of water in the soil can hinder the development of roots.
    The greatest demand for water is observed during the period of seedling production and fruit growth. Literature data show that for the production of 1 kg of ripe fruits, the plant consumes 60-80 dm3 of water. Sweet pepper grows well on soils with a low groundwater level.
    Soils
    The soil for planting pepper should be:
    humus;
    air;
    warming up quickly;
    loamy and sandy soils are optimal;
    the suitable soil pH is 6.7-7.2.
    The pepper patch should be protected from the wind. Plants do not tolerate gusts of wind, have relatively tender and fragile shoots and can easily break.
    Lighting
    High light requirements (5-10 thousand lux) mainly relate to the period of seedling production. The lack of light at high summer temperatures leads to a decrease in flowering, deformation of fruits, deterioration of their color. The optimal temperature for development during the growing season is 18-32 °C. Fruits are better formed at a temperature of 25 ° C.
    When watering, you need to remember about good water quality. It should contain as little chlorides as possible, because pepper is sensitive to salinity.
    Growing seedlings
    Pepper is a very thermophilic vegetable. He loves the sun, warm soil, languishes in cold, rainy weather. To cultivate pepper in the ground, you need to prepare well in order to make the most of warm days. Therefore, pepper is always grown from seedlings.
    Seeding rate
    Seeds are sown 7-8 weeks before planting seedlings in the open ground or 2 months before the last spring frosts. The best sowing date is the second decade of March. Seeds are sown in an amount of 4-5 g / m2. 1 g contains about 100-150 seeds, from which 100-120 seedlings will be obtained. To plant 1 acre of vegetable garden with pepper, 350-500 plants are needed.
    Seed preparation
    To even out and improve the quality of germination, you can stimulate the seeds 1 day before sowing by wetting them in a small amount of warm water (25-30 ° C) for 1 hour. Then the water is drained, the seeds are left in a container under a layer of thick wet paper for 1 day at a temperature of 28-30 ° C. Shortly before sowing, the seeds must be dried, spread out on a dry surface, to facilitate sowing. This operation is often used in the Balkan countries, where pepper is especially popular, and it pays off by accelerating and leveling the emergence of seedlings.
    Seeds can also be germinated on wet cotton wool by planting them in the ground after germination. This reduces the risk of fungal diseases of sprouting peppers and rotting seeds.
    Sowing
    The seeds are sown point-by-point in boxes filled with peat substrate or compost soil consisting of peat and sand in a ratio of 2:1:1. The soil in which the seeds are sown should be moistened before sowing.
    Boxes with crops are covered with perforated foil, nonwoven fabric or paper and kept at a temperature of 22-30 ° C, maintaining a constant humidity of the substrate. Shoots appear after 7-10 days (depending on germination). After germination, the covering material is removed.
    There is another way of germination. After sowing, the seeds are covered with a slightly moist substrate (a mixture of perlite with a substrate) 4-8 mm thick. Boxes with crops (with a total layer of soil 10 cm thick) are placed in cuvettes with water no more than 1 cm high. It is advisable to cover the boxes with a damp, thick paper napkin. Above the surface of the boxes (approximately 10 cm), you additionally need to spread out a non-woven fabric.
    Often beginners have a question: why does pepper germinate poorly or does not germinate at all?
    There are several reasons for uneven or delayed emergence of seedlings:
    low-quality seed material;
    uneven moistening of the soil;
    the top layer of the primer coating is too shallow;
    fast-drying substrate.
    To ensure the uniform appearance of seedlings, it is necessary to ensure the correct microclimate by covering boxes with sown seeds with moistened wet paper or agrotextile.
