Characteristics of the Novosibirsk pepper variety
Characteristics of the variety
Novosibirsk is an early ripening variety. Fruits ripen within 95 - 100 days after the appearance of the first shoots, full ripening occurs after 110 days. Pepper grows well even in low light and adverse weather conditions. Sweet pepper Novosibirsk is capable of producing a good harvest with proper care. 17 fruits ripen on one bush at the same time. In the open field, 8 kg of selected fruits are harvested from a small plot with proper care; when grown in greenhouse conditions, the yield increases by about 2 times.
Description of the bush
The culture is undersized. In the open field, peppers grow up to 50-70 cm, in a greenhouse - 90 cm, but sometimes they reach 1 m. The plant is compact, but it is important to carry out its formation.
Bushes are formed by removing shoots from the sides until the first fork.
Description of the fetus
Fruits are prism-shaped, thick-walled, deep red. The peppers are delicious, aromatic, sweet, and completely lacking in bitterness. The fruits of the variety weigh from 100 to 150 grams, in a greenhouse they can grow up to 200 grams.
Planting seedlings
Usually, the planting of Novosibirsk pepper seeds begins at the end of winter. First you need to check if the seeds can sprout. To do this, pour clean water into a glass, add 1 tbsp. salt, mix. After 5 minutes, the seeds remaining on the surface are collected with a spoon and discarded. Only those seeds that have sunk to the bottom are suitable for planting.
Next, it is necessary to decontaminate the seed in a solution of potassium permanganate, as well as in Epins-extra or Kemir.
The disinfected seeds are planted in a prepared container. In order for the seeds to sprout better and faster, the surface of the box with the soil is covered with a film. After the sprouts appear, the covering material is removed.
When 2-3 true leaves appear, a pick is carried out. Each seedling of Novosibirsk is planted in a separate cup. After the procedure, the plant stops growing for a while.
It is recommended to plant the pepper immediately in separate containers so that it grows faster.
Transplanting pepper into the ground
Plants need good watering
When the threat of frost has passed, the seedlings are planted in the ground. This usually happens at the end of May, but if the weather conditions are unfavorable, then at the beginning of June.
The grown seedlings of Novosibirsk are hardened, helping it to adapt to environmental conditions. First, the plants are taken out of the room for 10-15 minutes, gradually increasing the period of being outside the room. At this time, you must carefully monitor the weather. At low temperatures or strong, piercing winds, the tender bushes of Novosibirsk will die.
Ridges where potatoes, tomatoes, physalis or peppers previously grew are not suitable for the culture, since they are affected by the same diseases. Peppers grow well on lands where previously there were cucumbers, greens, watermelons, pumpkins, green manure plants.
Furrows are made on the site, in which pepper is planted after 40 cm, after having straightened the root system. After planting the bushes in the ground, the root part should be on the surface. The plant loves moisture very much, so it is watered abundantly.
Care
Care consists in timely watering, loosening the soil, applying fertilizers. To prevent the development of diseases, the bushes are sprayed with special preparations. But during the fruiting period, pesticides cannot be used, since they tend to accumulate inside the fruits, and then harm the human body.
Harvesting
The collection of the grown fruits begins in the middle of summer. This helps to reduce the load on the bushes. Ripening of the remaining peppers in Novosibirsk occurs until the temperature drops to minus at night, after which the bushes are pulled out of the ground and the site is prepared for planting other crops next year.
Conclusion
Bushes of Novosibirsk are quite unpretentious. They take root well in the garden and, with minimal maintenance, give a good harvest /
