The rightful master of summer cottages and greenhouses - Vladyka pepper: characteristics and description of the variety

Description of the variety

The Vladyka pepper is one of the newest varieties of vegetables. As of the summer of 2021, there is no information about it in the State Register of the Russian Federation. However, many gardeners from different regions cultivate vegetables in greenhouses, open ground and greenhouses.

The plant has all the characteristics of standard varieties. It is of medium height (about 75 cm), with a strong stem, large leaves, and blooms profusely. In one period, up to 10 fleshy vegetables can form on a bush.

The fruits are green at the stage of incomplete ripeness, and when they reach final ripening they become burgundy-red. The shape of the pepper is similar to an elongated cone with slight ribbing (see photo). The average weight of a vegetable is 250 g. However, some gardeners managed to grow fruit twice as large as this. Pepper has massive walls 8–10 mm thick. Its length is more than 18 cm.

Landing

Sowing dates begin in mid-February and last until the end of March. Seeds are pre-prepared:

• select whole, plump ones;
• immerse in 1% saline solution and discard any that float;
• activated in aloe juice or ash infusion, stimulant solution (Immunocytophyte, Epin);
• soak in a moistened cloth until biting.

The depth of the soil is up to 2 cm. The nutrient mixture chosen is sod-compost-humus.

After the first leaves appear, the seedlings are planted in separate pots (dimensions 10 by 10 cm). Keep the seedlings warm (18-25 degrees). Phytolights are turned on to extend daylight hours to 12-14 hours. Before transplanting, young bushes are hardened off for 10 days.

Advantages and disadvantages

Pepper Vladyka attracts gardeners with the following characteristics:

1. The culture is resistant to several types of dangerous viruses.
2. The fruits are aromatic and have a distinct taste, regardless of cooking.
3. The plant is distinguished by massive ovaries, which has a positive effect on yield indicators.
4. Pepper can be transported without fear of deformation.
5. The vegetables are large and attractive in color.
6. The culture develops well in open and closed beds, as it can withstand short-term cold snaps and droughts.
7. Seeds extracted from the fruit can be saved for later planting.

The main disadvantage of the variety is the need for shaping. Without proper pinching, peppers grow small.

Pepper “Zhupsky Early”: photo and description of the variety

In its homeland, the Župska Rana is one of the most delicious sweet peppers. Suitable for growing in a greenhouse to obtain an early harvest, it can also be successfully grown in open ground. The bush is strong, compact and abundantly fruiting; the plant height reaches an average of 60 cm.

The fruits are long (up to 15 cm long), flat, slightly curved, the weight of one is 100-200 g. At technological maturity, the color of the fruits is yellow-green, and at biological maturity the peppers become intensely red. The pulp is thick, fleshy, and has a sweetish taste.

The variety is unpretentious and resistant to most diseases. In terms of ripening time, as the name suggests, “Zhupsky early” refers to early ripening varieties of pepper and produces a harvest approximately 90 days after germination. It is suitable for fresh consumption, stuffing and canning. The yield of the variety during industrial cultivation ranges from 25 to 35 tons per hectare. In the garden, the yield is 5-10 kilograms per square meter.

My impressions of the variety

This variety, indeed, brought the harvest earlier than other varieties of sweet peppers last season. The fruits were quite large, but, unfortunately, they also did not have thick walls, and the wall thickness was only 5 mm or less. But the strong sweetness impressed me very much, and the Zupsky Early pepper became our favorite for fresh consumption. The bushes were not too tall, the yield was average. The elongated configuration and not too wide fruits also made it possible to actively use this variety for baking, stuffed with vegetables and cheese, along with other long-fruited varieties.

Features of agricultural technology

Seedlings should be chosen as the cultivation method. Vladyka pepper is grown taking into account the following recommendations:

• sowing of seeds is carried out 2.5 months before the seedlings are supposed to be moved to a permanent place;
• Picking of seedlings is carried out after the appearance of 2 leaves;
• peppers are placed in beds with loamy soil;
• bushes are fed 3 times: 2 days after planting, during flowering, during fruit ripening;
• When watering, avoid waterlogging.

Advice. The soil should be irrigated after sunset. To do this, the water must be kept in direct sunlight during the day.

Growing conditions

To grow Vladika pepper you need:

Warm. The optimal air temperature for growing peppers is 25 °C. When the temperature drops below 15 °C, plants stop developing.

When growing seedlings, the temperature regime can be maintained. But after planting seedlings in open ground or a greenhouse, this becomes more difficult to do, but not with this variety.

The Vladyka pepper can be grown in different conditions. It is more resistant to weather surprises than other varieties. This was facilitated by the work of breeders to combine all the positive qualities of other varieties in one variety.

Ripening Vladyka pepper (photo)

Loose fertile soil. It should be rich in organic matter. This means that it is better to grow peppers where organic fertilizers are constantly applied.

If there are no such places, then it is better to start preparing the soil for planting in the fall. During the autumn digging you need to add cow or horse manure. For the winter, the soil must be mulched with sawdust or mowed grass. When growing Vladika pepper, this will be enough.

Ask a Question

The season before planting the crop, green manure plants can be planted. They will naturally restore soil fertility. Immediately before planting, it is better to add well-rotted organic matter. Even if the soil is prepared in advance, it is better to use only fermented organic products, or, before planting, you will have to thoroughly disinfect the soil to protect it from pathogenic bacteria or spores. In addition, organic matter alone is not enough, because it contains mainly nitrogen, and for normal development, fruit set, and a good harvest, phosphorus and potassium are also required. Ash or minerals - superphosphates, potassium sulfate - will help with this. It is very important to make the soil for planting peppers loose and drained, because such a crop can die very quickly from stagnant moisture. If dark spots appear at the base of the bush and the stem softens, this indicates the development of blackleg - a fungal disease. Infected plants should be removed immediately; they cannot be cured, and the rest should be watered with a fungicidal preparation. We recommend carrying out the treatment several times, reviewing the mode and temperature of the water for irrigation. The optimal method of watering is drip irrigation. This way the rhizome will receive a sufficient amount of water, but there is no danger of overflow or stagnation of moisture in the soil.

A good place. Pepper plants require light. The place where the plantings are located should be illuminated by the sun all day. The best place to grow the Lord is the highest in the area where the soil warms up first. This elevation must be protected from drafts. A place under trees or on the north side of the house is not suitable.

Watering. Timely watering is one of the important growing conditions. The soil in the root layer of pepper should be constantly in a state of moderate moisture. Overwatering and underwatering have a bad effect on the condition of the plant.

Feeding. During the seedling period, fertilizing with mineral fertilizers such as Fertika or Aqua should be alternated with spraying with biostimulator HB-10 in the following mode:

Once a week - under the root of Fertik according to the instructions

Next week - spraying with HB-101 at the rate of one drop per liter of settled water at room temperature

After planting in open ground or a greenhouse, fertilizing with mullein infusion once a month is sufficient.

Plant formation. Despite the concerns of novice vegetable growers, this procedure is very simple.

When the first flower forms, it must be plucked off. After several fruits have formed on each branch, the top of this shoot needs to be pinched so that they become full.

Sweet pepper “Kurtovka”: photo and description of the variety

pepper is the most cultivated classic variety of sweet pepper in the Balkans, as it is considered one of the best for preparing the national dish ajvar.

Sweet pepper "Kurtovka" (Kurtovska kapja).

Sweet pepper “Kurtovka” in a section.

The Kurtovka variety is very resistant to diseases and unfavorable growing conditions. On an industrial scale, it produces up to 60 tons of marketable fruit per hectare with good care and in favorable conditions. At technological maturity, the color of the fruit is light green; at the stage of biological maturity, the peppers become bright red. The fruits are elongated and conical in shape. Suitable for fresh consumption, baking and pickling. Sweet pepper variety "Kurtovka" - medium-late ripening.

My impressions of the variety

All the peppers of this variety were small (less than 200 g), while almost all the peppers were curved, some even quite strongly. But the harvest was rich. In terms of taste, I can call the Kurtovka pepper one of the most appetizing and sweet. You could eat it straight from the bush and, without noticing it, eat the whole fruit, like an apple. The fruits were also thin-walled (up to 5 millimeters), but pleasant elasticity, juiciness and strong sweetness compensated for this disadvantage.
