Pepper Kirill

In the variety of pepper varieties, it is difficult to choose the best variety for planting, so you should give preference to proven crops that have won the love of gardeners and farmers. These include the mid-early sweet pepper Kirill, which is famous for abundant and stable fruiting.

Cyril is a vegetable crop bred in 2012. The authorship belongs to the well-known scientists Yu.I. Panchev and Yu.Yu. Panchev.The variety was added to the register for Russia in 2013. The vegetable is cultivated in different regions of the Russian Federation. Pepper can be grown in garden beds, as well as under film shelters and in greenhouse structures.

Pepper Kirill is a tall and powerful plant of the standard type. In favorable conditions, the pepper bush grows to a height of 100-110 cm. The plant is characterized by semi-spreading branches, good thickening with light green foliage, abundant mixed flowering and a superficial root system. The central stem of the bush is erect and strong. On average, up to 15 leveled specimens are formed and matured on the bushes. The peppers are located on the bushes wilted.

The variety belongs to the large-fruited category. The bushes ripen vegetables weighing from 170 to 200 grams and a length of 10-13 cm. The shape of the fruit is correct - conical. During the period of technical ripeness, the vegetable is covered with a yellowish cream color, and the ripe pepper acquires a uniform light red cover. The wall thickness of the vegetable is average - 6-7 mm. The surface of the fruit is smooth, with a pronounced gloss and slight ribbing. There are usually 2-3 seed chambers inside the pepper.

Thanks to the strong and dense peel, vegetables are not afraid of long transportation. In addition, the harvested pepper has good keeping quality. It is characteristic that the removed peppers in an immature state can ripen at room temperature, and then stored for a long time without losing their useful and taste qualities.

Kirill pepper has a wonderful taste and aroma. The pulp is characterized by a fleshy, moderately firm, slightly crispy and juicy structure without wateriness and bitterness. The fruit has a sweet, slightly sugary taste with a bright peppery aroma. Unripe peppers also have sweetness and aroma.

The harvested crop can be widely used in cooking: peppers are eaten fresh, baked, added to salads and soups, decorated with various dishes, frozen and canned. Due to its meatiness and juiciness, the vegetable is ideal for processing into sauces and dressings.

Pepper Kirill belongs to the mid-early group. The growing season of the culture lasts 110-115 days. The germination and maturation of the culture are friendly. You can evaluate the taste and aroma of the first fruits already in mid-July. Mass ripening and yield of the crop falls on July-August. It is recommended to remove ripe peppers 2 times a week.

The yield indicators for the variety are excellent. The average yield is 2.2 kg / m2. In greenhouses, the yield is much higher - up to 6-7 kg of vegetables from 1 m2 of plantings.

When planting plants, it is recommended to always observe the density and distance between the pepper bushes, which will provide them with access to light, air and heat.Up to 4-5 pepper bushes can be placed on 1 m2. Landing is carried out according to the standard 40x40 cm scheme.

The vegetable is cultivated mainly in seedlings. Strong bushes 60-65 days old with a height of 18-20 cm and 3-5 true leaves are selected as planting material. Planting in the greenhouse is carried out in mid-May. Bushes are planted in open ground in late May - early June, when the temperature stabilizes and the soil warms up enough. Good crop precursors are pumpkin, squash, and carrots.

Vegetable care is standard - moderate watering, organizing fertilizers several times per season (alternating organic matter and mineral complexes), loosening and weeding the soil, forming and tying a bush, preventing viruses and pest infestations.

Sweet pepper Kirill, like many of its congeners, loves light, fluffy, moist and nutritious soils with good air permeability. It is important that the soil has a low acidity index and is not waterlogged.

Vegetable culture has a good resistance to stress, so it easily tolerates cold snaps and sharp temperature fluctuations.The vegetable should be planted on a flat or slightly elevated area with good lighting, access to the sun and heat. Groundwater must flow deeply (at least 1 meter) so that there is no excessive moisture stagnation.

The variety has good immunity, providing resistance to many diseases, for example, fusarium wilting. In addition, pepper is tolerant to the tobacco mosaic virus.
