Ural thick-walled - sweet pepper, which was bred specifically for cultivation in areas of risky farming. This hybrid variety is able to grow even under conditions in which other crops simply do not survive. Farmers can be sure that the harvest of peppers of the described culture will not suffer from weather whims.
Description of the variety
Uralsky thick-walled is an excellent early ripening hybrid variety for harsh climatic conditions. It is possible to cultivate it both indoors and outdoors. The culture is unpretentious, has a universal purpose. The fruits are very stable and transportable.
Characteristics of the appearance of plants and fruits

Pepper bushes have an average length of up to 100 centimeters. The leaf plates are not large, the wrinkles are completely invisible. The flower buds are white, formed during the entire growing season.
Fully ripe fruits are colored in a bright red tone. While at technical ripeness, the fruits are not so large, and they are green in color.
Purpose and taste
The pulp of the Ural thick-walled pepper is always juicy, at any stage of maturity. The fruits are very tasty: sweet, fleshy, aromatic. However, pepper reaches its maximum sugar content at full biological ripeness. It is a universal culinary product. It can be added to summer salads as well as canned, frozen, and also used in the preparation of first and second courses.
Ripening terms
The early fruits of the Ural thick-walled are capable of ripening 70-75 days after planting.
Yield
The peppers of the hybrid variety Uralsky thick-walled are very productive. 10-12.5 kilograms of fruits are formed per 1 m2.
Growing regions
Since the hybrid variety was specially bred for areas of risky farming, it is mainly grown there (for example, the Urals, Western and Eastern Siberia, the Far East).
To get a large and tasty harvest of pepper, you need to take care of the seedlings in advance. When growing pepper seedlings, you need to correctly determine the sowing time, pre-sowing seed treatment, prepare the necessary container and soil.
Growing and caring
To grow thick-walled Ural pepper, you must use the seedling technique. For this, germinated seeds are sown, then the seedlings dive when 2 leaves appear. Only bushes aged 60-70 days are moved to the beds, while they must undergo a 10-day hardening. Top dressing of pepper is carried out from three times. Watering is carried out in such a way that the soil at the roots is moist. To avoid diving, the seed can be sown in a separate container.
The grown seedlings are transplanted into the greenhouse in mid-May, and if it is open land, then in mid-June, when the probability of a return of spring frosts has passed. The optimal planting pattern for pepper is 70-90x40-50 cm.
The main further care procedures are:
- loosening;
- irrigation;
- mulching;
- top dressing.
The hybrid is unpretentious to sudden jumps in air temperature. In order for the crop to produce high yields, the soil needs to be moist, fairly warm and loose. The Ural thick-walled loves moisture, but one should not be zealous with watering.
To harvest a tasty and rich harvest of pepper, you need to comply with all the conditions of agricultural technology, and proper care begins with planting plants. Before planting pepper in open ground, it should be prepared. It is also important to take care of the seedlings and planting space in advance.
For good growth of pepper bushes and active fruiting, you need to regularly apply mineral and organic fertilizing to the soil. It is necessary not only to choose the right formulations, but also to use them at the right stage in the development of culture. The frequency of top dressing is always individual. It depends directly on the composition of the land on your site. The poorer the soil composition, the more often you will need to feed the pepper.
Disease and pest resistance
The Ural thick-walled hybrid has good resistance to the main diseases of the nightshade. However, the culture does not have the immunity to top rot, which large-fruited peppers are often susceptible to. To prevent this moment, prevention is needed. And also pepper is sometimes attacked by slugs, aphids, thrips, bedbugs, bear, spider mite.
Pepper is one of the most common vegetables in home gardens. This culture is quite stable and unpretentious. However, under certain conditions, this plant can suffer from infections and harmful insects. Before treating peppers for diseases or pests, you need to find out the cause of the problem, otherwise the treatment may be ineffective.
