Pepper Agapovsky: description of the variety, photos, reviews

Sweet peppers are very popular among gardeners. The Agapovsky variety appeared thanks to the ongoing work of breeders who sought to obtain more attractive characteristics and properties. Agricultural methods for the healthy vegetable are constantly being improved, which helps to increase its productivity and resistance to adverse weather conditions. Pepper "Agapovsky" decorates many gardens with its bright fruits and lush bushes. It is appreciated for its excellent taste.

Description and characteristics of the variety

Agapovsky is intended for cultivation in film shelters in all regions of the country, even in its northern part.
Seedlings are planted outside and grown in the Krasnodar Territory and Crimea. In warm climate zones, plants grow well in outdoor soil and tolerate slight cold spells without problems. The bushes are compact in size, rarely exceeding a meter in height, but are very leafy. Foliage can inhibit reddening of peppers, so its growth must be controlled. The ripening period of peppers is early: 100-120 days pass from the moment the seeds germinate until the onset of biological maturity. The productivity is very high: from a planting meter in a good season it is possible to collect 10-12 kg of selected fruits.

Peppers at the stage of technical maturity are green in color, then after 2-3 weeks it changes to red. The harvest can be ripened at home; this will not affect the taste or quality.

The weight of the fruit ranges from 100 to 150 g, but sometimes it can be 200 g or even 300. The shape is prism-shaped, with clearly visible edges. The stalk is not pressed inward. The thickness of the skin is 6-8 mm. The taste is juicy with sweet, pleasant notes. The amount of sugar in the juice is 3.6%, the dry matter content is 6.4%.

The purpose of Agapovsky pepper is universal. The fruits are suitable for cutting into salads, suitable for stuffing and for making preparations. The thick skin retains all the juice inside during cooking and does not spread.

Attention! The Agapovsky variety is suitable for long-term storage and transportation, so it is often grown for sale.

The Agapovsky variety has high disease resistance. The crop is weakly affected by tobacco mosaic virus and root rot. Preventive treatments with fungicides are welcome and will only strengthen the plants’ strong immunity. The shoots normally survive short droughts and are not too demanding on lighting, even at the initial stage of cultivation. The advantages of the Agapovsky variety include:

excellent fruit quality;
marketable condition;
early ripening;
compactness of bushes;
resistance to diseases and pests;
abundant yield;
unpretentiousness in breeding.

Peppers have no disadvantages. The variety still competes strongly with new hybrid varieties and has not lost its popularity among gardeners.

Characteristics and description

The plant looks advantageous compared to other varieties of peppers: a strong bush with bright emerald greens, sprinkled with beautiful fiery fruits, similar to imported hybrids, as they are smooth, large and fleshy.

What does the bush look like:

Compact, medium size.
The height is about 90 cm, which allows it to be grown under arches and makes it easier to care for.
The leaves are large, dark green, and the bush is heavily leafy.
The fruits are arranged “drooping”, like bells.

Large, on average their weight is 100–120 g, but with special care they can reach up to 400 g.
The fruits have an elongated, prism-like shape, 12–15 cm long.
Thick-walled, with juicy pulp 5–7 mm thick, sweet: dry matter – 6.4%, sugar – 3.6%, vitamin C – 206 mg per 100g.
Peppers are bright red when ripe, but when technically ripe they have a dark green color.
The fruit is slightly wavy, the stalk is slightly depressed.
Very fragrant.
The larger the fruit, the more pulp.

Characteristics of the variety

Pepper "Agapovsky" is an annual vegetable crop characterized by early fruiting. The first harvest is harvested 100-110 days after emergence. The bushes grow compact. The low plant is densely covered with large dark green leaves.

Large fruits have a prism-shaped shape. Their surface is smooth and slightly ribbed. The fruits hang from the stems with the top down. Their weight reaches 115-120 g. The thickness of the fleshy wall is 5-7 mm. The fruits have a pleasant taste and delicate aroma. At technical ripeness they are characterized by a dark green color, and at biological ripeness they are bright red.

The “Agapovsky” variety is distinguished by its high yield. During the season, from 1 m2 you can collect 9-10 kg of juicy fruits. The more often they are removed from the bush, the more new ovaries are formed.

On a note! To increase the yield of sweet peppers, the flower of the first branch must be removed.

Agapovsky pepper is resistant to viral and fungal diseases. Rarely affected by tobacco mosaic and blossom end rot. Sometimes aphids and spider mites settle on the plant. Calendula, marigolds and basil will help repel insect pests. They are planted between rows or around pepper beds.

Features of planting and growing

Like other varieties of sweet pepper, Agapovsky is grown through seedlings. If you want to save space on the windowsill for some time, the seeds can be planted in a common small box, but at the stage of 2-3 true leaves, the seedlings will still have to be planted in separate pots, so it is better to sow immediately in individual containers: plastic cups or peat pots. The seedlings of this pepper grow quite compact, so containers of about 300 ml are sufficient. If transplantation is necessary, it is carried out carefully, trying not to injure the roots; deepening is unacceptable.

Growing seedlings is carried out in the traditional way: since it begins on March 5–10, there is already enough daylight, lighting is required only if the windows face north. Water the seedlings moderately with warm water and feed them 2-3 times during their two and a half months at home. A week before planting in the garden, they must be hardened off by taking them out onto the street or balcony for a while. By the beginning of summer, healthy, strong seedlings of this pepper have at least 8–10 true succulent leaves and the first flowers, or better yet, ovaries.

It’s good if the seedlings have bloomed by the time of planting; it’s even better if a couple of fruits have already started

Agapovsky is a medium-sized variety, so seedlings are planted according to a 40 x 60 cm pattern. Thickening will not lead to an increase in overall yield, but can create difficulties during care and deteriorate the quality of the fruit. In addition to filling the bed well with fertilizers, add a good handful of humus and 1/3 cup of wood ash to each hole. The soil must be mulched.

Agapovsky is a moisture-loving variety; it is watered frequently; the soil should not be allowed to dry out: the plants will not die, but this may have a negative effect on the yield. They feed moderately, once every two or three weeks, using both organic and mineral fertilizers. Since this variety is early, it makes sense to give inorganic nitrogen only during the first feeding, two weeks after planting the seedlings.

When forming a bush of this pepper, they try to cause it to branch, since fruit set is possible on all new shoots. To do this, remove the flower that formed first in the lower branch of the main stem, and pinch the main stem just above this fork. At the same time, you must be aware that branching will cause the growth of a large number of shoots that will have to be tied up. When growing Agapovsky pepper, it is difficult to do without tying: the weight of the harvest will cause the bush to fall to the ground. Tying to stakes, and if possible, to trellises is carried out as necessary. At the beginning of August, all flowers that have not yet formed ovaries are removed, and if they appear later, the procedure is repeated.

When forming a bush, they strive to create a more branched structure

Agapovsky rarely gets sick, especially in open ground, and if the basic rules of planting and care are followed, it does not require preventive spraying. They try to fight pests with folk remedies: decoctions of wormwood or garlic, tobacco dust, wood ash. Planting calendula, marigolds and other flowers in neighboring beds has a good deterrent effect.

Features of growing the variety

Any variety of pepper is an annual crop that requires heat. Growing them is work that, of course, will pay for itself in full. The main thing is to follow the rules of sowing, growing and watering.

How to prepare the ground for planting?

Land is important to this culture. If there is no purchased soil, we prepare it ourselves:

3 liters of turf soil,
3 liters of humus,
1 liter of river sand,
1 liter of sifted wood ash.

It is optimal to sow at the end of February, deepening by 0.5 cm. You can sow dry, or germinated on a damp cloth. Provide a temperature of at least 25–27 °C; as soon as seedlings appear, immediately transfer the tray to the light and lower the temperature to 17–18 °C for three days, then increase to 20–23 °C.

Water carefully only with warm water, without flooding, but make sure that the soil does not dry out. Seedlings grow very slowly and do not tolerate picking well.

If picking is necessary, it is carried out when two true leaves appear.

After picking, the light regime is important for the seedlings: they cannot tolerate a lack of light, they immediately stretch out and produce fewer flower buds. But pepper is a plant of short daylight hours.

Don’t forget about feeding the seedlings: with the first two leaves, make the first one with a mineral complex. “Agricola” or “Potassium Humate” is best suited; these fertilizers can be alternated every two weeks.

Healthy seedlings will have 7–9 leaves before planting in the ground. Replanting should be done at the end of May, at the beginning of June, when there will definitely be no frost, because at 0 °C the plant dies.

Try not to thicken the plantings. If the plants are planted close to each other, the fruits will be smaller; the optimal distance between bushes is 40–45 cm and 50–60 cm between rows.

Make a hole 20 cm deep, fill with humus with the addition of 2 tbsp. l. nitrophoska, pour two liters of warm water. After planting, mulch the beds.

Until the ovaries have formed, the peppers can be fed with nitrogen fertilizers once; excess nitrogen can lead to the loss of ovaries and flowers.

For fertilizing, you can use diluted bird droppings with superphosphate or phosphorus-potassium fertilizer no more than once every 15 days.

Peppers require regular watering and only with water heated in the sun. The roots of this plant are superficial and even slight drying out can have a detrimental effect.

What are the secrets?

A flower appears in the first branching of the main stem, it is called “royal”; if it is removed, the plant will branch better, forming new shoots and flowers, and for peppers it is the green mass that is important, unlike tomatoes: the more leaves, the greater the harvest.
Pinch the main stem, which will lead to abundant branching. This method increases the yield by a quarter. The spreading bush protects the lower branches from overheating and sunburn.

When growing peppers, support is important. The garter is done three times per season as the bush grows.

It is imperative to remove weeds and loosen the soil and be on the alert: do not miss the first signs of diseases or pests and immediately take appropriate measures, then you will always get a good harvest and enjoy your achievements.

Zorka

Sweet pepper of the Zorka variety cannot boast of the heroic size of the previous one on our list, but it is a real record holder for early ripening. You can harvest the first harvest from the bush within 3 months after sowing the seeds.

Zorka is a fleshy, thick-walled pepper, but the fruits themselves are not very large (their maximum weight is 130 g), so it is suitable both for fresh consumption and for rolling.

This variety is not picky about growing conditions and tolerates various diseases. The bush bears 6-8 fruits, which ripen at the same time.

Zorka pepper is interesting for its rich sweet taste and beautiful color (during the ripening process, the color of the fruit changes from white to rich red).

Purpose	Growing	Ripening time (days)	Fruit weight (g)	Productivity (kg/sq.m)
90-95	100-130	6-7

Fruit composition and other parameters

At the stage of final ripening, ripe fruits contain ascorbic acid in an amount of at least 206.4 mg per 100 grams, sugar at least 3.62% and additional dry matter in a volume of 6.42%. To get healthy peppers with a rich red hue, you must comply with all growing conditions and eliminate any problems that arise in a timely manner. Agapovka peppers can be slightly affected by blossom end rot, but the fruits are resistant to tobacco mosaic virus.

The highlight of the Agapovsky variety is the rich and tart aroma of fresh fruits, which is preserved regardless of the processing of the peppers. They can be frozen, canned, boiled, stewed or fried, preparing a wide variety of dishes based on the fruits. Peppers go well with meat and other vegetables, which gives housewives a lot of room for imagination. According to numerous reviews, peppers of this variety should be added to borscht, goulash or roast, and used fresh when preparing salads and for other dishes.
