Pepper Sankin love

Pepper Sankin love is a hybrid belonging to the sweet species. This article will discuss its main characteristics, planting methods and growing rules.

The hybrid appeared in 2018, and in 2020 it was entered into the State Register for the Russian Federation. He is able to survive both in the conditions of a film shelter and when landing in open ground.

Hybrid Sankin Lyubov is considered to be medium-sized, the bush reaches a height of about 50 cm. In structure, it is closed, with typical medium-sized green leaves.

The fruits of Sankin love pepper are both medium and large. They resemble a cone in shape, and the average weight of one is 164-250 grams. During the ripening period, the pepper changes color from greenish-white to deep red.

The pulp of the fruit is very fleshy and juicy, the taste is excellent and sweet. The vegetable has a pleasant peppery aroma. The variety has a universal purpose and is suitable for long-term storage.

In terms of ripening, the hybrid belongs to the early ones. After the emergence of seedlings, the first wave of the harvest takes about 100 days.

Sankin pepper love a high yield level. In good seasons, an average of 5.8-6.2 kg / sq. m.

Pepper is considered cold-resistant and tolerates unfavorable weather conditions, but the best place to grow it is in a sunny area. When disembarking, they adhere to the 60x60 cm scheme (square-nesting scheme).

If you are purchasing seeds from a reputable manufacturer, see their description: treated seeds do not need any action to stimulate growth. Previously, any material can be disinfected by soaking in a weak solution of potassium permanganate (the liquid should be pinkish).

Seedlings usually wait 2 months. The bush grows without the appearance of side branches up to about 17-20 cm. The crown bud located between the branches is usually plucked, as otherwise it inhibits the growth of the bush and the emergence of other flowers.

Sowing for seedlings occurs in late February - early March. Transferring seedlings to open ground - in mid-June, to a greenhouse or under a film - in mid-May. Seeds planted outdoors are usually sown in early to mid June (depending on the region).

In autumn, complex, mineral and biological fertilizers, as well as peat, are introduced into the soil for good development. In the spring, all weeds are removed, and the site is re-loosened. The hybrid also responds well to mulching.

Water must be taken settled, slightly warm or at room temperature. Watering is carried out either in the morning or in the evening.

Top dressing is applied at least three times per season:

1. before budding;

2. during the flowering period;

3. during the formation of fruits and their color change.

Gardeners recommend alternating mineral fertilizers with solutions from humus or rotted manure.

Hybrid Sankin love is resistant to such scourge as top rot of fruits, and in general has good immunity. However, he has his own diseases to which he is susceptible.

1. Blackleg. Fungal disease can be recognized by dark spots at the base of the trunk. It is transferred through the soil, therefore, in the spring, the site (or soil for seedlings) is preventively disinfected with a solution of potassium permanganate. You can also water the bushes themselves with this solution. In the greenhouse, it is important to periodically ventilate and maintain an optimal humidity level.

2. Late blight. The disease manifests itself as brown spots on fruits and leaves. It is treated by spraying with solutions containing copper, or preparations such as "Fitosporin".

3. Phytoplasmosis. He is a stolbur - it is transferred through cicadas, it is found in the wilting of a plant. Different parts of the plant turn yellow, curl, deform in volume and die off. It is believed that it does not respond to treatment, so the affected plant is destroyed (along with the roots) by burning (away from the site).

Some gardeners recommend not using or using at a minimum chemical preparations for growing a tasty and healthy crop, replacing them with folk, proven solutions, powders and dressings. For the prevention of many diseases, for example, a solution of milk (1 liter per bucket of water) with 10 drops of iodine or brilliant green is used.

Among the insect pests that Sankin's love is afraid of, the following can be distinguished:

1. aphid;

2. spider mite;

3. slugs;

4. thrips;

5. whitefly.

In the fight against them, in the first stages, spraying is used (with infusions of garlic, wormwood, onion husks, tobacco with laundry soap). Manipulations are carried out in two approaches with an interval of a week. As a preventive measure, plants (dill, marigolds and others) can be planted around the perimeter of the garden, whose smell scares off pests.

Root-gnawing (wireworms, beetles, gall nematodes) often come out on peppers. From them prophylactically loosen the ground, pouring boiling water in case of infection.
