Vegetable bell peppers, which are often called "Bulgarian" or "paprika", are loved by many. This fragrant and juicy vegetable, unlike its relatives, has a very pleasant taste. It is perfect for preparing fresh and warm salads, gives a unique feature to vegetable stews, is good canned, fried and stuffed. This versatility makes the culture very common among amateur vegetable growers, especially since pepper is rich in various vitamins (the main ones are C, A, PP, B, K) and other substances useful for our body.

Criteria for the selection of varieties

More recently, the thermophilic culture of bell pepper, which appeared in our area from the vastness of the American continent, was grown only in the southern regions. However, nowadays, with the advent of a variety of greenhouse structures, modern covering materials and many zoned varieties, it has become possible to get a full-fledged vitamin crop even in areas of risky farming. The main problem for gardeners was the correct choice of a suitable variety, depending on the climate of a particular area, the conditions for growing and the final destination of the fruits.

Among the many options for bell pepper seeds available on the market, you can choose varieties that suit you in terms of ripening, size, shape or color of the fruit, growing conditions.

• For cultivation, you can choose a pure variety or a hybrid. In the second case, the F1 symbol is added to the name on the seed package, which means that you most likely will not be able to grow a crop with the same varietal characteristics from seeds obtained on your own. However, hybrids are much more productive and better resist diseases.
• For longer fruiting, it is preferable to plant varieties with different ripening periods: early (from 80 to 100 days), medium (from 115 to 130 days) or late (from 135 days and more). In the middle lane and northern regions, it will be possible to grow a late harvest only in greenhouse conditions.
• If you like stuffed peppers or want to decorate your home garden, then it is important to choose a variety with a certain shape of the fruit - spherical or elongated, - with a ribbed or smooth surface.
• When you plant peppers not only for utilitarian purposes, but also want to decorate your table and garden, choose varieties with a bright or unusual color of ripe fruits. There are red and orange varieties that look appetizing in salads, the original purple or ivory.
• Depending on the conditions in which you plan to grow peppers, select specially bred greenhouse varieties or universal options that feel equally well both indoors and in an open garden. You can pick up varieties for container planting in order to grow a vitamin crop on a balcony or windowsill.
• When choosing a variety, be sure to pay attention to its yield and resistance to diseases, plant size and the keeping quality of the crop.

Various varieties and hybrids of sweet peppers are now available at any specialty store, let alone online stores. Plants differ in size and color, aroma and taste, developmental characteristics and productivity, ripening times and requirements of agricultural technology. Before making the final selection of seeds, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with their characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. Such knowledge allows you to get exactly the result that gardeners hope for. Before describing the individual varieties, let's take a look at their general main characteristics.

Sweet pepper - choosing the best varieties

Very important question. Most gardeners already know what is in the implementation varietal and hybrid seeds. What's the difference between them?

The variety is the result of a long selection of the best specimens of the plant, during creation they try not only to increase its yield, but also to take into account the climatic zone of cultivation. From the fruits of high-quality peppers, you can independently collect seeds, they retain all the properties of their predecessors.

A hybrid is obtained by crossing different varieties. Plants are distinguished by increased indicators of resistance to diseases, productivity and taste. The disadvantage of hybrids is that it is impossible to collect seeds from fruits, properties are not genetically transmitted. Hybrid seeds are indicated on the F1 packaging and require strict adherence to the recommended agricultural practices.

Selection of pepper seeds by harvest time

Experienced gardeners recommend choosing pepper seeds with different ripening periods. But one condition must be fulfilled - not to allow their cross filing, otherwise no one knows what fruits will eventually grow. In addition, it is impossible to collect seeds from such a crop, these are no longer varietal plants. Place different varieties of peppers in separate beds.

If you have peppers with different ripening times, it will be possible to have fresh fruits for a long period of time. How are seeds separated by timing?

1. Early ripe. These varieties are recommended to be grown in regions with mild summers. The ripening period of the fruits from the moment of planting the seeds is within 80 days.
2. Mid-season. Universal use, fruits can be harvested approximately 120 days after sowing seeds for seedlings. It can be sown both in the beds and in greenhouses or indoors.
3. Late ripening. For the crop to ripen, you will need to wait about 140 days. Only for greenhouses or the southern regions of our country.

Seed selection based on shape, color and size

You need to pay attention to this feature in cases when you need peppers for stuffing as ready-made dishes or only for salads. In the first case, varieties and hybrids should be chosen that produce fruits with thick walls of a spherical regular shape. If there are deviations, then they may be the result of a violation of the recommended agricultural technology. In the second case, the shape of the fruit does not play a decisive role.

Bell peppers can be conical, oval, elongated, or nearly spherical. The surface is lumpy and smooth, may have longitudinal ribs or not.

For example, the Kolob variety has round fruits up to 6 cm long, while the Sweet banana and Marconi varieties produce fruits up to 22 cm long. There is a pepper that looks like a cube (variety) or a regular cone (Swallow variety), and so on.

The color does not affect the taste of the fruit in any way; choose seeds of such varieties that you personally like. You just need to remember that there are varieties that can change shades as they ripen.

Selection of seeds according to growing conditions

Peppers love warmth; in most of our country, they can only be grown indoors or in a greenhouse. Before purchasing seeds, read the recommended climatic conditions and growing methods on the package. Only in greenhouses are Raisa F1, Red Baron F1 grown, these hybrids do not tolerate sudden temperature changes during the day and night hours, they are afraid of frost. In open beds and greenhouses, varieties and hybrids of Belladonna F1, Golden Rain can be grown.

Biological features of plant development

The peculiarities of the vegetation of plants depend on the variety of seeds. When choosing seeds of a particular variety, pay attention to the maximum height, which largely depends on labor costs for growing. And the higher the labor costs, the higher the cost of the crop and the lower the profitability. The stem height can be in the range of 30-170 centimeters. It must be borne in mind that tall plants will have to be tied, and this is a rather large waste of time, you need to look for various supports and so on.

The second important biological factor is how long the fruits can be preserved without losing their original qualities. The resistance of plants to various pests and diseases also depends on the variety of seeds. And, of course, the seed variety has a direct impact on the yield.

The best varieties of pepper

The vast majority of domestic vegetable growers want to deal with early varieties, they allow you to collect fully ripe fruits. The most popular are the following hybrids and varieties.

Lumina

A very popular variety among summer residents, has only positive responses. The size of the fruit is of the middle category, weight is about 100 grams, greenish or golden in color. Pepper has thick walls ≈ 5–7 mm, sweetish taste, hardly noticeable aroma. They resemble an elongated cone in shape.

Pepper is very popular among farmers, it is easy to care for, it has a fairly strong skin, which allows it to be stored for a long time without deteriorating its original commercial qualities. The variety has another important commodity advantage - minimal losses during transportation. This effect is achieved due to the relatively firm pulp of the fruit.

The variety grows on poor soils, tolerates both short-term deficiency and excess moisture well. But the prolonged absence of moisture causes the appearance of the bitter taste of the fruit. Ripe fruits can be stored under normal conditions for up to 3.5 months.

Ivanhoe

A fairly new variety, the first fruits reach consumer maturity 102 days after sowing seeds in the soil. It is recommended to prepare and soak the seeds before sowing, growing seedlings is encouraged. At the stage of consumer maturity, pepper still does not have the qualities that appear after full ripening, but this crop can already be realized. Early peppers are significant profits for growers. And on the home table, early peppers are a pleasure. Weight up to 130 gr., Fruits are red, narrow, similar to an elongated cone. The wall is very thick, subject to agricultural technology, it can reach 9 mm, inside there are four chambers separated by partitions. There are a lot of seeds, you can collect them for sowing next year.

The bushes grow compactly, which greatly facilitates plant care. Pepper Ivanhoe does not need special tying, there is no need to artificially shape, prune and pinch the stems. The variety has a high resistance to many diseases, but reacts poorly to a drop in temperature. If there are risks of morning frost in the region, then it is better to grow it in greenhouses. Productivity with careful care is up to 8 kg per square meter, which is currently considered an average.

Claudio F1

Suitable for growing in beds and greenhouses, early maturing. When grown in seedlings, the first fruits are removed after 80 days. The fruit has four large chambers inside, shaped like an elongated cube. When fully ripe, the color is dark red and has a sweet taste. Can be used for canning or eating raw. The bush is powerful, erect, the leaves are large in size, perfectly protect the ground from drying out and the fruits from sunburn. From a bush, you can have up to twelve fruits.

The variety is excellently transported, during transportation it does not have any mechanical damage that causes damage to the presentation and accelerated decay. The plant can withstand a slight deterioration in the microclimate. To improve the yield and accelerate the ripening time, it is recommended to soak the seeds before sowing, and after the first shoots appear, cull the weakened ones.

Medium-sized early maturing plant, universal cultivation, shows good yields in the beds and in greenhouses. The fruit is smooth and looks like a truncated cylinder. Fully ripe red fruit, cylindrical in shape, can be used for canning or preparing fresh salads. In terms of taste, it satisfies consumers; in terms of aroma, it is assigned to the middle category.

Viking is a mid-season variety

Agronomists recommend planting seedlings in the ground - all plant performance improves. The height of the bushes is average, no support of the stem is required. It can withstand a drop in temperature; vegetation slows down for this period. After the temperature rises, growth is fully resumed; negative conditions do not affect the yield. The disadvantages include poor transportability and short storage time.

Provides guaranteed harvests regardless of weather conditions, is well-deserved among many vegetable growers. Up to 15 fruits are harvested from the bush; such abundant fruiting requires increased care for the bushes. They must be tied to the supports, the first ovary must be removed. The height of the bushes can reach 75 cm, but the specific values ​​largely depend on the fertility of the soil. The average weight of fruits is 170 gr., Some specimens can reach 250 gr. Elongated and narrow in shape, cherry-colored, sweet on the palate, with a pleasant aroma.

The excellent characteristics increase the selling price, which encourages farmers to grow this variety. The pulp is crispy and juicy, the skin is smooth.

Video - Sweet pepper varieties

Pepper is an irreplaceable ingredient in fresh salads, side dishes, gravy and preparations for future use. Although this is a vegetable with its own whims and growing characteristics, every gardener should try to plant it in their summer cottage at least once. First of all, you need to start with early varieties, the harvest will be provided even in regions with an unstable climate.

Early sweet pepper varieties with description and characteristics

Sweet pepper (Bulgarian) is a popular vegetable crop grown by both summer residents and farms. The plant bears fruit successfully in open ground and in greenhouses in almost all regions of our country, provided that early and mid-early varieties are selected. Many cultivars are noted for their high tolerance to low temperatures, despite the fact that pepper is a thermophilic culture that is sensitive to sudden cold snaps.

Modern ultra-early ripening pepper varieties are famous for their large-fruited and disease resistance

When choosing pepper seeds, they are guided not only by the appearance of the fruit, but also by other important characteristics:

• Pepper is divided according to the ripening period into early, mid-early, mid-season and late. It is best to grow varieties whose fruiting periods differ from each other, then fresh peppers from their beds will be right up to frost. Taking into account the climatic features of remote regions of our country, it is recommended to select, first of all, early-maturing varieties, the ripening period of which is 90-100 days.
• Since some varieties need an enhanced light regime, others are poorly adapted to cool weather and drought, varieties intended for growing under a film cover are singled out into a separate group. Peppers that are more resistant to weather anomalies grow and bear fruit remarkably in the open field.
• There are tall varieties - 90–120 cm, medium-sized ones - up to 80 cm, undersized ones - up to 60 cm - the so-called ratunda pepper (it is formed in the form of a compact bush and is unpretentious, according to the terms of fruiting it often belongs to mid-season cultivars).

Regardless of the shape and color of the peel, the pulp of different varieties of peppers does not differ much in taste.

When choosing varieties of pepper, you should also remember that the color saturation of the peel indicated by the manufacturer will be different depending on the degree of ripeness of the fruit.

The type of maturity at which the fruits can be harvested for testing, for transportation and long-term storage is called technical. Biological maturity occurs at the moment of complete ripening of the pulp and seeds, the peppercorns acquire the varietal color and aroma indicated on the pack, but it is much more difficult to keep a fully ripe crop for future use.

The ideal option is to choose high-yielding zoned hybrids of an early ripening period and purchase planting material only from trusted sellers. More than 500 varieties are represented in the State Register of Breeding Achievements, among them almost half are early maturing. Below is a description of cultivars, the yield of which is not lower than 4–4.5 kg / m 2.

Features of growing early varieties of sweet peppers

This thermophilic crop is traditionally grown through seedlings. The process begins in the last decade of February, if in the future it is planned to plant peppers in open ground, or in mid-February when transplanting seedlings into a heated greenhouse. This is due to the fact that pepper seeds germinate for at least 1.5–2 weeks. Before planting, to stimulate vegetative processes, it is recommended to soak pepper seeds in a saline solution (5 g per 1 liter of warm water) for 2-3 hours.

The pepper seeds are left on a damp cotton surface (cloth, gauze, cotton pad), after 24-48 hours the seeds are ready for planting

How to grow healthy pepper seedlings

Pepper seeds are planted in cups filled with 2/3 of a special soil mixture for seedlings or prepared soil from their own plot, mixed with humus and river sand in a ratio of 2: 1: 2:

1. The seeds are dipped into the substrate to a depth of 1.5–2 cm, sprinkled and not tamped.
2. The surface of the soil is slightly moistened and covered with glass, which will remain until the first "hairs" - sprouts appear.
3. Crops are left in a room where the temperature is maintained at least 20 ° C.
4. Provide indirect sunlight or intermittent daylight illumination.

As young peppers grow up, liquid mineral fertilizing is introduced into the soil 1 time in 10 days (according to the instructions), this allows young shoots to get stronger and maintains immunity

Planting is periodically slightly irrigated with warm water and slightly loosened the surface of the soil with a thin stick.

Seedlings grown in a large container dive at the stage of 2-4 leaves

We transplant peppers to the beds

After 50 days, when the seedlings form 8 to 10 leaves, they begin to harden. To do this, crops are taken out on the balcony or placed at a slightly open window (avoiding a direct draft). Approximately in the third decade of May, when the night temperature does not drop below 10 ° C, young peppers are transplanted to a permanent place.

If the seedlings are in the greenhouse, during a cold snap, on the advice of experienced gardeners, we bring buckets of boiling water into the greenhouse, or put hot bricks heated over a fire on metal sheets.

Pepper planting algorithm:

How to care for early sweet peppers

It is advisable to irrigate pepper bushes at the root (as the soil dries up) at the rate of 4–6 liters per adult plant

Periodic loosening (shallow, as the pepper has superficial roots) to prevent crusting, and hilling.

Removal of weeds in the hole and in the aisles.

Tying tall varieties to a support.

Peppers are tied up when the bushes are formed (if necessary), and the fruits are tied and ripen

Not less than 3-4 dressings during the growing season. 2 weeks after planting, mineral fertilizers are applied (superphosphate, urea - 20 g per 10 l of water). During flowering, every 10-15 days, they are fed with organic matter at the root (1 kg of chicken manure or 2 kg of manure per 10 liters of water, ash (0.5-1 liters) and herbal infusions are added) and sprayed with growth stimulants (Epin, Ovary) to exclude the fall of flowers and ovaries.

At the end of the season, the flowers, ovaries and small fruits of the pepper, which did not have time to ripen, are also removed, then the bushes are well loosened at the base, it is believed that this accelerates the process of fruit formation

Peppers that are fully ripe on the bushes are much more aromatic and tastier. Usually, the first fruits are removed as soon as light traces of color appear on the sides, and the second wave is left to ripen on the bushes. Of course, if the weather permits. After harvesting, the crop is covered with burlap or cardboard so that the peppers do not lose moisture. This applies to those fruits that will be processed. For fresh consumption, pepper is stored in a cool room at a temperature not exceeding 8 ° C.

The largest varieties of sweet peppers are very popular with many summer residents and gardeners. Giant fruits not only have good keeping quality and transportation, but also have excellent taste, allowing them to be used both for salads and for preparations.

How to grow big peppers

There are amateur gardeners who can grow large yields of large red peppers from the most common varieties. But there are situations when the seeds of large-fruited varieties of sweet peppers give an unsatisfactory result. In order to get the giant fruits of this culture, you need to take into account the basic requirements.

Choose the right crop variety. It is necessary to take into account the climatic features of the region in which the largest variety is supposed to be planted. In addition, you should pay attention to the hybrids of sweet pepper varieties, which give very large fruits.

Pepper is a thermophilic culture, therefore, it should be planted in the middle lane only in closed ground. The same requirements apply to lighting. If the day in the growing region is short, then it is worth organizing a good lighting.

Some varieties bred specifically for open field thrive in any soil. Therefore, before planting large varieties of peppers for open ground on your site, study all the recommendations of experienced gardeners. Selection does not stand still, and therefore every year many new varieties appear that are capable of producing a large harvest of large, sweet peppers in any conditions.

Compliance with all the rules of agricultural technology. Do not forget that the varieties of the largest, red peppers love a lot of moisture. Therefore, if you spill the beds with a lot of water once a week, you can get a good harvest even on the ground.

If the culture grows where strong winds blow, then the ground must be covered with a film so that the wind does not dry out the soil. In addition, pepper loves loose, light soils, so the process of loosening must be carried out after each watering.

It is worth constantly mulching the holes to prevent the rapid departure of moisture from the soil, while not forgetting to constantly feed the best varieties of large-fruited sweet peppers. There are varietal crops that easily tolerate untimely watering and temperature extremes. But if you prefer to plant hybrid varieties, then be careful, they react strongly to untimely watering and feeding.

If you take into account all the nuances and follow the rules for caring for the crop, then you can be sure that the harvest of large, red giant peppers will delight you. But there are cultures in which the weight of the fruit reaches 850 g, but it is worth noting that the fruit weighing 200 g is also considered to be quite large. If you want to get giant fruits, then let's look at the largest and earliest varieties of sweet peppers.
