Pepper Triton

Pepper Triton is an early maturing sweet high-yielding variety intended for cultivation in various climatic conditions. An unpretentious plant is suitable for growing in open areas, but in areas of risky agriculture with unfavorable climatic conditions, farmers plant the crop both under film shelters and in polycarbonate greenhouses, which does not affect either the quality or the quantity of the crop. Sweet, juicy and very beautiful peppers are used for making salads, summer snacks, hot meals and preservation. Experienced housewives make vitamin freezes of fruits, which become indispensable during the flu and winter epidemics.

Pepper Triton is the result of the work of Dutch specialists. The culture is one of the early universal sweet varieties. A high-yielding plant, both when grown in open ground and under special shelters, is capable of forming beautiful and juicy fruits on a plot of 1 m2 up to 11 kg.

Advantages:

• good productivity;
• universal purpose;
• excellent taste indicators;
• attractive appearance;
• undemanding care;
• high immunity to diseases and pests;
• resistance to temperature fluctuations.

Disadvantages - planting in soil of neutral acidity.

Pepper Triton belongs to undersized varieties with a central stem height of no more than 50 cm. The spreading bush resembles an umbrella in shape and does not need to be formed and fixed to the central support. Due to its shape and sufficient foliage, the fruits are reliably protected from direct sunlight and burns.

The early fruits of this variety are not large in size. The standard size of a mature vegetable is 11 by 11 cm, and its weight ranges from 100 to 120 grams. The pepper has a cone-like elongated shape. The color of the crop depends on the stage of ripeness, it starts from a muted yellow and ends with a deep red. Number of seed chambers - 4 pcs. Despite the average wall thickness, the fruits are juicy and fleshy.

An early unpretentious culture is distinguished not only by its yield, but also by excellent taste indicators. The juicy and fleshy structure, as well as the sweetish taste, make the fruits indispensable in the preparation of both fresh dishes and winter culinary masterpieces, and experienced housewives preserve the rich vitamin composition by dry freezing.

Pepper Triton is an early ripening variety in which the fruit ripens 76 days from the moment the first shoots appear. In regions with moderate climatic conditions, the harvest takes place in the second and third ten days of June.

The early unpretentious culture belongs to high-yielding varieties. The average amount of harvest on a plot of 1m2 can vary from 9 to 11 kg. However, in regions with the most comfortable climatic conditions and subject to all agrotechnical techniques, the number of fruits can reach 14 kg.

To obtain a high-quality harvest and prevent the development of fungal and viral diseases, breeders-practitioners recommend that when planting a crop, it is imperative to observe the distance between plants. The classic planting scheme is 50 by 35 cm. No more than 6 bushes can be placed on a 1 m2 plot.

Despite the unpretentiousness of Triton pepper, when growing it, experienced farmers recommend carefully following all the rules of planting and caring for it, which will help to significantly increase the quality and quantity of the crop. An early plant feels comfortable on light and loose soils, enriched with micronutrients. The acidity of the soil should be close to neutral. The selected area should be well lit and protected from strong currents of cold air. Otherwise, the plant will stretch out, and the inflorescences and ovaries will crumble.

To obtain an early harvest, the prepared seed material must be planted 2 months before transplanting the seedlings to a permanent place of growth, which corresponds to the third decade of February and the first decade of March. The most comfortable temperature for growing seedlings is +25 degrees. The pick is carried out at the stage of formation of 3-4 true leaves.

It is permissible to plant grown and strong seedlings in open ground in early May. To reduce the negative impact of changing the place of growth when transplanting a culture, seedlings must be treated with special biological preparations. It is strictly forbidden to deeply deepen the root system. After planting, green spaces must be watered abundantly and the entire root zone must be mulched.

The culture is very responsive to the introduction of mineral and organic fertilizers, and abundant watering, taking into account climatic conditions, will significantly increase the juiciness of the fruits.

The cultivation of this variety of sweet bell pepper will not cause difficulties even for novice gardeners, since the culture has an increased immune response to most viral and fungal diseases. However, as a preventive measure and to prevent the death of green spaces, breeders recommend regularly treating areas with special preparations, especially in regions with high humidity.
