Pepper Krepysh

Many vegetable growers and farmers, choosing sweet peppers for cultivation, prefer early ripening and high-yielding varieties that manage to yield before the cold weather. These types include the early Krepysh variety, bred by domestic scientists.

Sweet pepper Krepysh was brought out at the Maikop Experimental Station in 1991. The authors of the vegetable crop are Russian breeders Petrovskaya N.N., Anikeenko V.S. and Chvyr N.I. Pepper is cultivated in garden beds, in greenhouses and greenhouses. Initially, the vegetable was created for cultivation in the North Caucasus region, but in a short time it became popular in the Volgo-Vyatka, East Siberian and Far Eastern regions.

A sturdy plant is a low-growing plant that grows up to 55 cm in a favorable environment. The compact shrub of the standard type is characterized by medium thickening of green leaves, semi-sprawling branches, a powerful central stem and a superficial root system.

It is noteworthy that the fruits on the bushes are arranged unusually - "noses" up and to the sides. On each pepper bush, up to 10-12 leveled specimens mature.

This variety belongs to the medium-fruit class. The fruits grow all neat and aligned, endowed with an attractive presentation. The average weight of a vegetable is 69-73 g (length 10-15 cm). The shape of the pepper is conical with a blunt apex. At the stage of technical ripeness, the vegetable is green, then light yellow, and a fully ripe pepper is evenly covered with a bright red cover. The skin of the vegetable is tender, moderately dense - the wall thickness is 5-6 mm. The surface of the fruit is smooth, shiny, slightly wavy. 2-3 chambers with a small amount of small seeds are formed inside the pepper.

Ripe vegetables tolerate transportation at different distances well, and can also be stored for a long time without losing their taste and useful qualities. It is important that the harvested pepper does not deform, does not lose its presentation, does not crack.

The strong man has excellent taste. The pale red flesh is endowed with a fleshy, tender, moderately firm, slightly crunchy and very juicy consistency without wateriness. The fruit has a balanced taste - sweet, slightly sugary, complemented by a peppery-spicy aroma.

Ripe vegetables have a wide range of uses in cooking - peppers are eaten fresh, canned, stuffed, added to cold and hot dishes, used as decoration, frozen, baked, and pickled.

This pepper variety is early maturing. From the mass germination of sprouts to the first ripe peppers on the bushes, 100-122 days pass. Fruiting in a vegetable crop is abundant. Fruits are ripening together. The yield is in July-August.

The yield indicator of the variety is good. With proper care, 4.2 kg of juicy peppers can be harvested from 1 m2. In the open field, the yield can be slightly lower - from 2.7 to 4 kilograms. Growing crops for sale, you can get an average of 269-420 centners per hectare of plantings.

When planting a plant, some nuances should be taken into account - density and distance between plantings. 5-6 pepper bushes are placed on 1 m2. Planting culture is carried out according to the scheme 40x60 cm.

Strong peppers are grown by seed and seedling methods, however, planting through seedlings is more productive. Strong bushes 12-18 cm high with 2-4 true leaves and 60-70 days old are used as planting material. Planting is carried out in a greenhouse in mid-May, and in open ground - in early June, when the soil and air are warm enough, and return spring frosts are left behind. The best place to grow bell peppers is where onions, carrots, pumpkins, or greens used to grow.

Pepper care includes: regular watering with warm water, top dressing 2-3 times per season (the plant prefers complex mineral fertilizers), careful loosening and weeding of the soil, prevention of diseases and insect infestations. Pepper bushes Krepysh do not need shaping and tying.

Strong, like most other pepper varieties, grows comfortably in loose, light, nutritious, breathable and moist soils. It is important to remember that the soil should not be acidic and waterlogged.

Strong is a warm / moisture-loving culture. It is recommended to plant a vegetable in a flat, sunny area, where there is enough light, moisture, there is protection from drafts and gusty winds. Experienced gardeners recommend planting on small hills with deep groundwater.

The culture has a good immunity to fungal infections. The plant is tolerant to verticillium. Pepper bushes are susceptible to pest attacks.
