Pepper Kubyshka

Pepper Kubyshka is an early high-yielding variety that is able to form a high-quality crop in areas with different climatic conditions. The culture is popular both in the central black earth regions and in the northern and mountainous ones. An unpretentious plant can be grown not only in open garden beds, but also under film and polycarbonate shelters.

Sweet and aesthetically pleasing fruits have a universal purpose and are successfully used both for fresh consumption and for the preparation of winter preserves, sauces, pickles and freezes.

Pepper Kubyshka is the result of painstaking breeding work of such specialists of the agrotechnical institute as Nastenko N.V., Kachainik V.G. and Kandoba A.V. in wholesale and retail trade.

An unpretentious plant feels comfortable both in unprotected soil conditions and under special greenhouse shelters, which makes it suitable for growing in latitudes with different temperature regimes. Particular attention should be paid to the increased vitamin and mineral composition of the fruit, which is several times higher than that of similar crops.

Advantages:

• the formation of a large number of fruits;
• unpretentious care;
• increased content of vitamins and minerals;
• universal purpose;
• the ability to grow in regions with different climatic conditions;
• high resistance to a sharp drop in temperature.

Among the disadvantages is the need for fixation to the central support.

Pepper Capsule is a tall, spreading crop, the height of the central stem of which is often more than 1 meter. One healthy and powerful plant can produce up to 10 fruits. Given the high height of the bushes and the number of ovaries, the variety requires mandatory fixation to a vertical support. The deep green deciduous mass is medium in size and slightly wrinkled.

The fruits of this variety are large and lowered. Wide cylindrical peppers resemble a dome and square shape. The average weight of one ripe fruit is in the range from 240 to 250 grams. The color range of the crop depends on its degree of maturity, starting from deep green and ending with deep red. The leathery cover has a glossy texture and a beautiful sheen. The average size of the juicy and fleshy wall is 1 cm. The number of seed chambers does not exceed 4 pcs.

Sweet and juicy fruits of this variety have a universal purpose and are used both for preparing fresh salads and for canning and pickling. To maximize the preservation of the vitamin and mineral complex, experienced housewives recommend freezing the harvested crop and putting it in a cool room for long-term storage. Due to the increased content of beta-carotene and vitamin C, fresh winter preparations become indispensable during the period of viral and colds epidemics.

Pepper Kubyshka is a crop with an early fruiting period.The first harvest of early-ripening fruits can be carried out as early as 110 days after germination of the seed material.

The egg capsule is not only an early and versatile variety, but also a high-yielding variety. From a plot of 1 m2, on average, you can collect up to 6 kg of juicy and large fruits, regardless of climatic fluctuations.

To prevent thickening of green spaces and the formation of strong bushes, breeders-practitioners recommend observing the distance between plants when planting seedlings. The classic planting pattern is 50x35cm.

Despite the unpretentiousness of the plant, when growing it, experts recommend observing all the basic agrotechnical rules. Sowing the prepared seed material in the greenhouse should be carried out in the third decade of February, but in open ground - in the first decade of March. At the end of May, mature seedlings can be planted in open beds.

The planted seedlings must be watered abundantly and the entire root zone must be mulched. In the phase when the bushes reach a height of 25 cm, they should be formed into 2-3 stems. To reduce the risk of developing diseases and increase air exchange, all lower leaves must be removed regularly.

It is possible to improve the growth of the plant and its root system by carrying out regular loosening and removing weeds. To increase the fertility of the soil, it is necessary to enrich it with mineral fertilizers 2 times per season.

To obtain a juicy harvest, one should not forget about timely watering with settled water, taking into account the amount of precipitation. Ripe fruits should be removed periodically, which will significantly speed up the formation of new ovaries.

Pepper Capsule belongs to plants with moderate immune responses to the most common diseases and pests. The culture often suffers from phytoplasmosis and verticillosis, as well as from stolbur and gray rot. Pests such as the Colorado potato beetle, aphids, ticks and slugs can harm green spaces.

To preserve the bushes and the integrity of the harvest, farmers recommend regularly treating plants with both biological and chemical preparations.
