Description of Victoria pepper
Variety characteristic
Victoria pepper is an early ripening representative of the culture. The variety was bred in 1979 by crossing several species.
The Victoria variety grows in northern regions on open ground and in greenhouses, which is a good indicator for cold areas. Here it is necessary not only to care for the crop with the help of fertilizers and timely watering, but also to additionally give the plantings warmth.
Until the full ripening of the variety, 115-128 days pass after the emergence of the shoots. For 1 sq. m collect up to 7 kg of fruit.
Description of the fetus
According to the description, the fruit of the Victoria variety is smooth, cone-shaped. The wall thickness does not exceed 8 mm. After ripening, the color of the variety gradually changes from green to deep red, which indicates a large amount of vitamins. The pulp of the vegetable is soft, sweet, juicy.
With the correct picking of the bush, Victoria sweet pepper gives a large number of fruits: up to 25 pieces per bush.
During transportation and storage, the variety has proven itself from the good side.
Description of the bush
According to their characteristics, the bushes are not too tall, spreading, compact enough, suitable for both greenhouses and open ground. With proper care, the height of the bush reaches 50 cm.
Landing
Seedlings are ready 9 weeks after planting.
Sufficiently mature seedlings are transplanted into a separate container. This happens about 2 months after planting the seeds, because seedlings do not germinate too quickly.
Sprouted seedlings are planted in the ground closer to the end of spring, but not earlier than the moment of complete retreat of frosts comes, despite the fact that it is a non-heat-loving culture.
When planting seedlings, a certain distance between the bushes should be observed. It should be at least half a meter, and also go deep into the ground too much (enough depth at which the seedlings grew).
Features of growing and care
Plants are easy to care for
The Victoria variety does not need much maintenance.
Before the trunk starts to start forks, the side shoots are removed so that the bush is not too thick, otherwise most of the plant's power will be directed not to the fruit itself and its ripening, but to the growth of the trunk. The formation of the bush begins when it reaches a height of 20 cm.
After planting seedlings, a number of actions are carried out:
- regular watering is carried out (once a week): in hot weather it is increased (2-3 times a week), in cool weather - it is done moderately (once every 2 weeks); adhere to a proportion of 0.5 liters per bush);
- remove the grass sprouting nearby;
- fertilize and fluff the ground.
Fertilizer
Peppers are usually fertilized with urea. To prepare a mixture for 10 liters of water, add 1 tsp. urea and 1 tbsp. l. double superphosphate.After the mixture is infused (after 2-3 hours), the culture is watered in the evening (0.5 liters of fertilizer for each bush).
