Yellow cockatoo pepper

The yellow cockatoo is a yellow pepper variety bred by Russian breeders in 2015. This is the closest relative of the famous Kakadu variety, which differs from it only in shape and color. Consider all the features of the agricultural technology of the presented culture.

It is a high-yielding variety that can be cultivated both outdoors and in a greenhouse. The fruits are distinguished by high marketability, strong immunity, excellent taste, but the plant also has a number of disadvantages, for example, a tendency to overgrow.

The bush of the presented variety is characterized by strong growth and reaches a height of 150 cm. It is semi-spreading in appearance, has large dark green wrinkled leaves and drooping large fruits of an elongated shape.

The mass of each pepper is about 180 g. In technical ripeness, the color of the glossy skin is dark green, in biological ripeness it is yellow. The walls are dense, 7 mm thick, there are 3-4 chambers inside.

Consumers note the very good taste of the fruit. The manufacturer claims the universal purpose of the vegetable, however, judging by the gardeners' reviews, the yellow Kakadu variety is still not suitable for making lecho. But it will perfectly fit into a light vitamin salad, diluting it not only with piquant notes, but also giving an aesthetic and very appetizing look with its sunny appearance.

Only 120-130 days after pecking the seedlings, the first peppers will appear on the bushes. Usually at this time it is already July on the street. Consequently, Kakadu yellow belongs to varieties with a medium-late ripening period.

Once again, we note the high yield of the variety: on average, 1.8-3.1 kg of vegetables can be obtained from each bush.

Sowing is carried out at the end of February, young bushes can be transplanted into open ground at the end of May. It is recommended to heat the soil for seeds in the oven in advance. The seeds can be planted in separate cups or peat pots. The seeds are buried at a level of 1.5 cm, leaving a distance of 5 cm between two specimens.

When seedlings appear, the containers are placed on the sunny side, but if there is not enough lighting, then phytolamps should be used. Seedlings will feel comfortable at a temperature of + 25 ... +26 degrees. A pick is carried out when two leaves appear.

When the temperature is at least +15 degrees outside, young seedlings can be transplanted to the site. The height of the plant by this time is already about 15 cm, and the age is 55 days. Choose a well-lit garden bed for this.

It is recommended to plant bushes in the area where zucchini, onions, cucumbers previously grew. Places where nightshade were previously cultivated should be avoided. A good culture will develop in mulch sandy soil or black soil. Plant the bushes at a distance of 40x80 cm.

Observe the following guidelines when leaving.

• Water the plant of the presented variety once a week in the morning with warm, settled water.When the fruits are formed, the frequency of watering can be doubled. The plant responds well to drip morning watering. Moistening should be stopped 10 days before harvest.
• Three times a season, the culture needs feeding. The first time is two weeks after the transplant, during this period urea or bird droppings are suitable. The second time - at the stage of fruit setting, chicken manure or cow dung will also be appropriate. The third top dressing is applied when the first crop is harvested, this time chicken droppings are again relevant.
• To obtain a high-quality harvest, remove stepchildren from the vegetable, on which it spends its strength. Form the bushes gradually. Leave three shoots, and after a couple of weeks, remove the weakest of them by tying the other two stems together with a rope.

The variety is highly immune to most diseases, but it can be affected by late blight. To prevent the onset of the disease, do not plant the bushes too close to each other, destroy diseased specimens in time, use fungicides. To prevent infection with vertex rot, observe the watering regime and maintain the desired temperature. Calcium nitrate helps to protect against this ailment.

Also, the plant can become a victim of ticks or aphids. Folk remedies, for example, ash solution, as well as special chemicals, help from these pests.
