Impressive yields from Ukrainian breeders - Bogdan pepper: characteristics and description of the variety

Review: Sweet pepper seeds Seeds Ukraine “Bogdan” - Wonderful pepper!

Summer is over, and with it the harvesting of vegetables from our summer cottages.
It is already possible to sum up which varieties have pleased us with the harvest, and which species should be said goodbye. Today I will talk about a wonderful variety of sweet pepper “Bogdan”. I planted 3 varieties this season, and all the seeds were .

What pleased and surprised me most was the Bogdan variety. (in the photo the top of the bag is cut off when opening)

On the back of the bag there is brief information about planting and characteristics of the variety, so I will not dwell on these issues in detail:

I bought the seeds through the online store of this company in December 2014. The order was fulfilled very quickly.

The price at that time was 1.50 UAH. (4.10 rubles). The bag contains 0.3 g of seeds. Now this product can be purchased there for 2.70 UAH (7.40 rubles).

The germination of the seeds was excellent, and the seeds themselves were nice, not small, and clean. The seeds were fresh, the date of manufacture (2014) and the date of use (until 2018) were indicated on the packaging.

The package also contains all the manufacturer’s details: address, phone numbers, email and website address. This inspires confidence, since you often see packages without any identification marks.

Based on the results of cultivation, I can say that the grown pepper complied with the declared parameters.

The pepper was simply beautiful! If you have bought imported peppers in supermarkets, then you can imagine this pepper: it is just as big, everything is as smooth as a selection, shiny, thick-walled, in general - a sight for sore eyes!

Unfortunately, I have photos of not the best specimens, because at such moments you usually don’t think about taking photographs - you’re busy with gardening).

This is already at the end of the season, small specimens of pepper. At the height of the harvest, the peppers were much larger:

It not only looks attractive, but is also very tasty. The pulp of the fruit is fleshy, the walls are thick and the pepper tastes very aromatic.

The great advantage of this variety is its immunity to diseases. This variety did not bother me at all with any diseases or pests.

Although they write on the package that the variety is early-ripening, for me it still turned out to be mid-ripening, but it also produced a harvest in the fall. And new buds appeared all the time.

There was a lot of ovary on the bush, and there were also quite a lot of peppers, especially considering its size.

In the initial stage, unripe peppers are rich green in color and the fruits do not hang down, but are located with their nose up:

At the stage of biological maturity, it acquires a rich yellow-orange color:

I really liked this variety, I collected seeds from a beautiful fruit and intend to grow it next year, which is what I wish for you too!

Description of the variety, reviews, photos

An early-ripening, large-fruited variety of bell pepper. Recommended for growing in open ground and film shelters. The period from germination to the beginning of ripening is 97-100 days.

The bush is semi-standard, 55-65 cm high.

Fruit characteristics

The fruits are cone-shaped, yellow-orange at maturity, weighing 200-250 grams, 12-15 cm long, 8-9 cm in diameter, with faint edges, juicy, sweet, without bitterness, with delicate skin. Wall thickness 6-8 mm. This pepper is perfect for fresh consumption and canning.

The productivity of the variety is high.

Sweet pepper Bogdan is not included in the State Register of the Russian Federation.

Features of cultivation

Peppers are grown through seedlings. It is recommended to sow seeds 70-75 days before planting in a permanent place. Sowing depth is 2 - 4 cm. The optimal temperature for seed germination is 26-28°C.

When true leaves appear on the plants, they are transplanted into separate cups with a capacity of 0.3-0.5 liters.

Pepper does not like transplanting, so do not be surprised if after you have transplanted the seedlings into separate containers, they stop growing for a while. You can “smooth out” the stressful state a little by spraying the plants with Epin.

When to plant pepper seedlings in the ground

After the threat of return frosts has passed, the seedlings can be planted in a permanent location. Some people plant in open ground in May, while others only plant under covering material or under film; it all depends on the climatic conditions of your region.

When planting pepper seedlings in the ground for 1 sq. m it is recommended to place up to 6 plants, no more. Planting pattern 35 x 40 cm.

Further care consists of timely watering, fertilizing and loosening the soil. The pepper is planted in the ground without deepening it, but in exactly the same way as it grew in cups. Pepper plants, unlike tomatoes, very rarely produce lateral roots, so there is no point in deepening them.

Preparation for cultivation

Manufacturers often treat Bogdan seeds in the factory . This planting material is painted green or orange. Processing information will be indicated on the packaging.

If the seeds are not processed at the factory, then gardeners do this at home. Preparation of planting material includes the following points :

1. Checking seeds for germination . They are soaked in a salt solution prepared from 1 tsp. salt 1 glass of water. After half an hour the result is checked. The germination of seeds that have not sunk to the bottom is questionable. They are not used for sowing.
2. Disinfection of planting material . The seeds are soaked in a light pink solution of potassium permanganate for half an hour, hydrogen peroxide for 15 minutes, or in a soda solution (1 teaspoon per 1 glass of water) for 12 hours. After that, they are washed under running water.
3. Growth stimulation . The seeds are soaked in a nutrient solution (Epin, Zircon, aloe juice) or germinated in advance. In the second case, the planting material is wrapped in cloth soaked in warm water. Seeds in fabric are placed in a deep container, covered with film and put in a warm place until they hatch. All this time they are moistened with warm liquid as they dry.

Advice! Many gardeners prepare their own growth stimulant. To do this, add 1 tsp to a glass of warm water. ash and the same amount of superphosphate.

Pepper soil is sold in gardening stores. It is not necessary to buy a specialized mixture for tomatoes and peppers; universal soil will do.

Prepare the soil mixture yourself . The simplest option is to mix equal proportions of humus, garden soil and sawdust.

The soil for seedlings must be disinfected . This is done in one of the following ways:

• put in a container with holes and pour boiling water over it;
• pour over a dark pink solution of potassium permanganate or hot copper sulfate;
• baked in the oven.

peppers immediately in individual cups . This plant does not tolerate picking well. It is better to use peat containers, from which you do not need to remove the seedlings.

If you plan to sow a large number of seeds, then use boxes . When the seedlings grow, they are planted in individual pots with a volume of 300-500 ml. All containers are treated with a dark pink solution of potassium permanganate.

To grow seedlings you will need drainage . Coarse river sand, small crushed stone, crushed ceramics, expanded clay or brick are suitable. This filler is also treated with a disinfectant solution.

Your reviews of Bogdan pepper and additions to the description will help many gardeners evaluate this variety more objectively and decide whether it is worth planting or not.

Description and characteristics of the variety

Bogdan pepper is an early-ripening variety of bell pepper and has large, sweet fruits. It can be grown both in open ground and in greenhouses. The bush is semi-standard with a height of 50 to 65 cm. The time required for seedlings to grow and fruits to ripen is about 100 days. Despite all the advantages, this pepper variety is not included in the Russian state register.

History of the Bogdan variety

The Bogdan pepper variety has Ukrainian roots and was bred by the Soyuz joint venture at the Dnepropetrovsk Agricultural University. The variety is not a hybrid. This is the result of many years of planned selection with the gradual consolidation of the necessary economically valuable traits. Thus, if you bought seeds and grew a good, large and sweet pepper, you can collect new seeds from your harvest, selecting the most successful specimens.

Reviews

Reviews from gardeners about Bogdan are mostly positive . Those who have tried this hybrid say that they will grow it again:

Alisa, Izhevsk : “I grew Bogdan in a greenhouse for 2 years. A very large-fruited and beautiful hybrid. The fruits are beautiful, just like in the photo. The taste is rich, sweet, ideal for lecho. I plan to grow it more than once.”

Oleg, Sochi : “I grow Bogdan in open ground at the dacha. Pepper is unpretentious. I water it twice a week, and that's enough for him. Never got sick. Stepsonning is also not necessary. I prefer to tie up the bushes, it makes me feel calmer. The fruits are very tasty and large.”

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

• The undoubted advantages of the variety include:
• early ripening and early ripeness;
• long fruiting;
• high productivity (up to 1 ton of crop can be harvested from one hundred square meters under good conditions);
• high content of beta-carotene and vitamin C in fruits;
• increased fruit set;
• resistance to various diseases;
• excellent taste and versatility of fruit use.

As for the disadvantages, it should be noted that pepper is whimsical as a garden crop: both excess and lack of minerals, moisture, and sun are equally harmful to it.

• For example:
• With a lack of potassium, the leaves dry along the edges and curl into a tube.
• If the pepper does not have enough nitrogen, the leaves turn gray and gradually degenerate, and an excess of the substance will lead to the falling of flowers.
• A lack of phosphorus will cause the undersides of the leaves to turn purple.
• The “marbled” color of the leaf indicates that the plant needs magnesium.
• Excess watering leads to putrefactive disease, lack of watering leads to drying out of the roots.

Growing and care

The bushes are planted in the beds within 60–65 days. The variety is suitable for cultivation in open soil in different types of greenhouses. Important conditions: good lighting of the site and high-quality soil aeration.

The medium-sized variety needs shaping and pinching.

Water with settled water and feed up to twice a month. Monitor plants and adjust fertilizers:

• with potassium deficiency, the leaves dry out along the edges and curl up in a tube;
• with a lack of nitrogen, the leaves turn pale, acquire a grayish tint, and the green mass grows weakly;
• if there is little phosphorus, the lower surface of the plates becomes purple;
• A lack of magnesium contributes to the appearance of a marbled tint.

Features of growing crops

This variety is grown using seedlings. 2–2.5 months before the intended planting in the ground, the seeds are planted on seedlings.

Seed preparation

The seeds are planted 2-4 cm deep, the distance between them is about 2-3 cm. It is best if the air temperature is not lower than 25 degrees and not higher than 28. It is necessary to immediately maintain the required planting depth, because in the future the depth will change when picking or replanting can lead to rotting or drying out of the root system.

Selection of containers

When planting, you can use a box filled with soil. As soon as the first full leaves appear on the seedlings, the seedlings can be planted in separate cups (0.3 or 0.5 l).

Soil requirements

Before sowing, the container is half filled with loamy soil and compacted well. The soil should be moist. Having arranged the seeds according to the pattern, they are sprinkled with another 5 cm of soil and compacted again.

Seedling care

There are special water-soluble mineral fertilizers for feeding seedlings. It is best to apply them along with watering. Water the sprouts with warm, settled water.

When two true leaves appear, it is advisable to feed the seedlings with the following solution: 0.5 g of ammonium nitrate, 1 g of potassium fertilizer and 3 g of superphosphate mixed in 1 liter of water. The next feeding is carried out after two weeks, with a double dose of mineral fertilizers.

From time to time, you can feed the seedlings with nettle tincture (take 2 parts of nettle to ten parts of water, mix and leave for several days). It is useful to do this fertilizing 2 days before planting in the ground.

Transplanting seedlings into the ground

If enough time has passed since the seeds were planted, make sure that late frosts have passed, and then you can safely plant the seedlings in a permanent place. Depending on the region, you can plant it in open ground as early as May or place it under a covering film.

Early varieties of sweet pepper also include:

The Bogdan variety loves warmth and moisture; it is better to plant it on the leeward side in sunny areas. When planting, fresh organic fertilizers are contraindicated; they reduce the yield and quality of the fruit.

The planting pattern is 35x40 cm. It is best if no more than 6 plants are placed on each square meter of the garden. Since pepper does not produce lateral roots, there is no point in burying it in the ground. The same planting depth as in the cups is sufficient.

Landing

Sowing is carried out from February to March. Sequence of seed processing for better germination:

1. Soak in 1% saline solution for discarding.
2. Disinfect with fungicide or potassium permanganate.
3. Keep in damp gauze for up to 2 days.

For seedlings, use a loose turf-compost substrate (from the store or from the dacha). The soil is spilled with boiling water a week before planting and irrigated with 1% Fitosporin.

Seedlings are cared for traditionally: watered, fed, pruned in the phase of 1–2 leaves.

Caring for the plant after transplanting into the ground

Pepper needs loamy, breathable soil. The best predecessors are legumes, cabbage and cucumber. After them, the vegetable gives the highest yield. Care consists of timely watering, fertilizing, weeding the beds and tying up the trellises.

Watering and fertilizing

Mineral fertilizing is necessary throughout the entire growing season. They are usually added during watering. Watering is carried out in the evening, the water should be warm (about +30°C).

From the moment the seedlings are planted in a permanent place and before fruiting begins, it is advisable to feed the peppers at least 3-4 times with chicken droppings. It is good to alternate these activities with foliar mineral supplements, for example: a tablespoon of nitrophoska per bucket of water.

Hilling and loosening the soil

To enrich the soil with oxygen, loosening the soil around the sprouts is considered mandatory at least once every few weeks. Then you can carry out hilling and mulching. Peppers benefit from mulching with rotted straw.

Laying a layer 10 cm thick will help retain moisture in the root zone longer and reduce the frequency of watering. After completing all these procedures, the pepper trellises can be tied up.

Plant Formation

On especially hot and humid days, it is useful to plant Bogdan pepper. This activity involves pruning the side shoots, especially those located at the bottom of the stem. This procedure is not recommended in dry, hot weather.

If you carefully study the advice of experienced gardeners, you will notice that they agree on one thing: the first flower that appears on the plant must be removed. This makes the crop more productive.

The growing season is accompanied by frequent pruning of particularly long shoots to avoid shading. All shoots located below the main branch on the stem are also removed. Pruning is carried out every 10 days and after harvesting. You can combine these procedures with loosening and hilling the soil.

Growing seedlings

Peppers in our country are grown exclusively by seedlings . Then the crop will have time to ripen before the onset of frost.

seeds for seedlings 70-80 days before the intended planting of pepper in a permanent place . Typically, seedlings begin to be grown at the end of February or March.

Planting pepper

2 days before sowing the seeds, the soil is brought into a warm room and allowed to warm up. Then the prepared containers are filled, having previously poured a layer of drainage on the bottom.

To sow seeds in a common box, grooves are made in the soil, 2-4 cm deep. A gap of 3 cm is left between the rows. Seeds are sown in depressions at a distance of 3 cm.

When growing seedlings in individual containers, 1-2 seeds are sown in each pot. They are buried 2-4 cm.

Note! Sow 2 seeds in one container so that at least one seed germinates. If 2 plants appear in 1 cup, then the weaker stem is pinched when 2 true leaves appear. Bogdan's planting material has a high (almost 100%) germination rate. Therefore, many gardeners sow 1 seed in each pot.

The seeds are sprinkled with soil and the soil is watered. Containers with crops are covered with film and put in a warm place.

Every day the film is opened slightly for 30-60 minutes for ventilation . The soil is watered with a spray bottle as it dries. The appearance of mold on the soil indicates too much watering. In this case, the affected layer is removed so as not to remove the seeds. The soil is sprayed with a light pink solution of potassium permanganate.

Further care

Healthy seedlings should be squat and strong with bright green leaves. To get such plants, you need to properly care for them :

1. The film is removed after the first shoots appear. Plants are placed on a windowsill or under a fluorescent lamp. If seedlings are grown on a windowsill, then the containers are periodically rotated in relation to the window.
2. Plants are planted in individual containers after the appearance of 2 true leaves (if the seeds are sown in a common box). Plants are watered before the procedure. When removing them from a common box, they are held by the leaves and helped with a fork. The root collar is not buried. This will cause the roots to rot.
3. Pepper is sprayed with a spray bottle as the soil dries 2-3 times a week.
4. When growing seedlings on a windowsill, it is important to ensure that they are not exposed to drafts. Otherwise, the plants will die.
5. 2 weeks before picking to a permanent place, the pepper begins to be hardened. To do this, it is taken outside during the warm part of the day.

Seedlings are fed 3 times . Use the following scheme:

1. The first time is 2 weeks after the appearance of 2 true leaves. For 5 liters of water take 20 g of superphosphate, 5 g of potassium salt and 10 g of urea.
2. After 14 days, the seedlings are fed again. Add a mixture prepared from 5 liters of water, 20 g of ammonium nitrate, 30 g of superphosphate and 10 g of potassium salt.
3. 5 days before planting, the last fertilizing is applied to a permanent place. Add 1 glass of ash and 25 g of superphosphate to 5 liters of liquid.

Disease and pest control

The most common diseases of bell peppers are late blight, black leg, and various types of rot. The Bogdan variety is resistant to these types of diseases and with proper care you may not even remember their existence.

Insect pests such as aphids, mole crickets, slugs, and the Colorado potato beetle pose a greater threat. A preventive measure helps against mole crickets: when planting seedlings, an hour before, the hole is first filled with water, and after planting, the plants are thoroughly sprayed. A tincture of wood ash can also protect peppers from pests. 3 sprays per season are enough.

If aphids appear on the leaves, you need to purchase a special serum and dilute it with water, and then treat the plants with this mixture. To consolidate the result, the leaves are sprinkled with finely ground wood ash.
